Essential Details

Experience Overview

Trade the city streets for a thrilling off-road trail at the Cape Town Ostrich Ranch, situated a short 35 to 45-minute drive from central Cape Town. This guided outdoor experience takes you on an exhilarating journey through a beautiful forest and bush track. Outdoor enthusiasts will twist through the trees and navigate fun, winding bends.

The fleet consists of highly stable, fully automatic quad bikes designed to make steering, gas, and braking effortless. Even absolute beginners can confidently learn to control the bikes within roughly 10 minutes. Guides dynamically tailor the route pace to match the collective abilities of your specific group. This flexible setup makes the ranch an exceptional destination for bookings of any size, including corporate functions and team-building events
