Rare Flora & Birdlife of the Steenkampsberg Mountains
Top 5 Reasons to Choose an Electric Dirt Bike Safari in South Africa
Tucked high in the Steenkampsberg mountains near Dullstroom lies one of South Africa’s last true wilderness regions — a landscape of rare birds, sub-alpine grasses, and endemic wildflowers and ground orchids found nowhere else on Earth. Here, e-Dirt Bike Adventures offers a new way to explore — on quiet electric dirt bikes that let riders experience nature with almost no impact.
1. True Wilderness Access
The Steenkampsberg is not a trail park or racecourse; it’s a wild, working landscape where Blue and Crowned Cranes still breed and orchids bloom among high-altitude wetlands. With permission to ride through select private lands and conservation corridors, our guided tours offer an experience that few have ever had — to ride through authentic exclusive wilderness responsibly.
2. Quiet Power, Minimal Impact
Electric dirt bikes deliver torque instantly yet run almost silently. That means you can ride past herds of various antelope or pairs of blue or crowned cranes without disturbing them, enjoy the sound of wind and grass, and leave only a faint track behind. No fumes, no roar — just you and the almost endless rolling landscape.
3. Perfect for Petrol Riders Too
This isn’t about replacing petrol bikes — it’s about expanding access. For experienced off-roaders used to the buzz of an engine, riding electric opens new doors: sensitive conservation areas, private estates, and routes where petrol bikes aren’t permitted. It’s adventure without limits.
4. Easy Access from Johannesburg and Pretoria
Dullstroom lies less than three hours from Johannesburg, Pretoria and OR Tambo International Airport — a perfect weekend destination for local and international riders alike. With scenic mountain roads and established tourism facilities, everything you need is right here.
5. Stay, Ride, and Recharge
Our own guesthouse, Camdeboo Place, offers “Stay & Ride” packages with comfortable accommodation and mid-week specials for small groups. Wake up to blue skies dotted with interesting cloud formations or misty mountain views, enjoy your ride, return to the village and relax on the terrace with endless view while enjoying a beverage of choice or indoors around the fire — the full Steenkampsberg experience.
At e-Dirt Bike Adventures, we believe adventure and conservation can coexist. Join us, and experience the rare privilege of exploring one of South Africa’s most beautiful wilderness areas — quietly, responsibly, and with a smile.
