Rented a GS for one day to explore the coastal roads in the region. The motorbike was in top shape, and the riding gear we rented was brand new and very clean. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Prices are clearly listed on the website, and the paperwork was handled very professionally.

Our 12 day self-guided motorcycle tour in 2026 became far more than a trip - it felt like an adventure crafted with care and passion. From the very beginning, the preparation was handled with professionalism and genuine attention to our needs. The staff was always there for us, ready to help, and their warmth made us feel supported at every moment. The welcome on arrival set the tone: the entire team greeted us with such friendliness that we immediately felt at home. The motorcycle presentation was impressive and built real excitement for the journey ahead. What touched us most was the extraordinary selection of accommodations. Each place had its own atmosphere - peaceful lodges, a magical glamping tent overlooking a wildlife pond, a hotel with sweeping sea views, and vibrant urban stays. These were places we would never have discovered ourselves, and each one added a unique emotional layer to the journey. Many hosts even welcomed us personally with a drink, making us feel like honored guests rather than travelers passing through. Our motorcycles were always safely parked, giving us peace of mind. The two rest days were perfectly placed, allowing us to breathe, reflect, and enjoy the surroundings. And the safaris - guided with expertise and passion - were truly unforgettable, the kind of moments that stay with you for a lifetime.

This was way above all expectations! GS Africa is not the usual rental company, it's an agency providing a complete experience service with custom route proposal, hotel booking, motorbike and equipment rental; and lots of tips & advices. You can come and blindly trust the team: just have to relax and enjoy the turn-key trip based on your preferences. [November 2025] My come-back... very last minute. I've requested for a 3-days trip to the North and testing the brand new BMW F800 GS, what a blast! After a quick chat to understand what I'm looking for, 48h later I arrived at the agency and received the final route, hotel vouchers, motorbike ready-to-ride with the extra side bags and rental protection equipment. The view is amazing, especially Bainskloof Pass; and the team has been super helpful as usual! [December 2024] My 1st time, and it was really hard to leave the agency and return the motorbike 🥺. Thanks to GS Africa's team, I ticked 2 activities from my very long bucket list: - 1st long solo road-trip: ✅ incredible landscapes, traveling 1800 km from Cape Town, Garden Route to Knysna, and back via the ocean route + 2500 km between Durban, Sodwana Bay, Drakensberg, etc... - trying heavier motorbikes that I've never ridden before: ✅ BMW G 310 GS, Yamaha Ténéré 700, and KTM 790 Adventure + some gravel and off-road tracks... So many souvenirs, so many faces and lovely conversations after those 4300 km in South Africa! From the bottom of my heart ♥️, I want to thank again everyone that I've met and helped. I felt grateful for your support, flexibility, and services. I have to mention of course: - Candi-Lee that took care of my crazy difficult rental program (3 motorbikes, starting from Cape Town, and returning 3 weeks later to Johannesburg Airport) - Petreaux for the wonderful route, stops and visits: visit ostriches farm, diving cage with the sharks, see the pinguins, etc. - Keegan for the amazing riding experience with mixed terrains, bringing the 790 Adventure outside of the boring tar. Maybe a 3rd time ;)

An unforgettable experience. Cape Town is perfect to explore by motorcycle. The landscapes and roads are some of the best I’ve ever seen. What made the trip even better was the peace of mind of being with such a professional company. The motorbike was in excellent conditions. The gear they provide is almost new, everything super clean. The team took the time to walk me through all the details of the motorcycle and even shared routes they thought I might enjoy. It was an experience I’d recommend 100%.

Shout out to GS Africa. They were the best. We had the best time on their BMW scooter driving around Cape Town and checking out the sites. All of their motorbikes looked liked they were in Top notch condition. Ask for Lee… she is the best!
