The Adventure Company was started in 2000! We’ve hosted some of the greatest social rides on the planet!
Tri Nations, Quads 4 Quads, Swazi Mangala… Yup! Thats us!
The trails are always fun, not overly hectic and generally cater for riders of all skill levels.
All trails are marked and technical routes have escape routes for the not-so-brave.
Marshals, medics and back-up on every ride.
Join us for an amazing ride in the bush. Dirt bikes, quads and side-by-sides are welcome.
Some of our rides can accommodate adventure bikes as well.

CLICK ON THE ADS FOR YOUR ENTRY FORMS.
This event first started in around 2010 and enjoyed a really successful run.
Participants meet in Pongola of all places and enjoy a marked trail for roughly 300 kilometres all the way to the beach in Mozambique.
“Our team has spent a week or two out looking for routes, chatting to induna’s, farmers and officials and the event has been given the green light for 2025” says The Adventure Company’s Corinne Andrews.
“It’s a great African adventure, interesting trails with so many cool things to see!”
The ride takes in a loop through the farmlands of Pongola, across the border through Eswatini and back into SA for a day of sandy trails before crossing the border into Mozambique where participants are encouraged to take a day off to catch the sun and seaside..
“Dirtbikes, Quads and Side By Sides are all welcome!” says Andrews.
“It’s not a race, it’s a great ride through some great parts of SA and her neighbours.”

Social Responsibility
We have always made it our responsibility to give back to the rural community where most of our rides take place.
We must have handed out thousands of soccer balls in the last 14 years. We believe we can change the world with a soccer ball. We also collect and hand out school books and pens to remote schools as well as clothes and food. We have raised in excess of R8m for the Quad Para Association of South Africa.
Our Christmas ride in the Balfour area is an emotional one. We collect food, clothing and necessary items for the Sunfield Home which is home to about 110 disabled adults and children. This yearly event is high on their social calendar and they spend weeks practising their Christmas Carols which they very proudly sing for us. There aren’t many dry eyes in the crowds.
What we spend your donation money on
A special thank you to all our clients who gave cash donations in December 2020. We collected R46 400 which has been handed over to the Sunfields Home. Previously we collected R17 000 and bought mattresses and seedlings for the Home.
