Ride 4 Change – Wild Coast, South Africa

The South African Wild Coast has instilled great memories over the last 20 years with Enduro Africa through our Ride 4 Change events. Our charity,  Touch Africa has  been the proud beneficiary of these charity Bike Rides. Monies raised on these events has allowed us to build 50 container libraries, 4 creches and assist us in making a massive difference to these impoverished communities.

The 7-day ride on the trusty Hondas will expose you to Dirt Bike Heaven and we will will use the hotels from Trennerys to Hole in the Wall, and stay 2 nights at most of the hotels. It’s your choice if you want to ride every day or whether you want to chill in the bar or at the beach.

The opportunity to bring a partner along to share the experience is a new addition to our Wild Coast Adventure. The partner package is 800 Pounds.

Out of each Ride Fee, we will be donating 500 Pounds to our charity Touch Africa. The charity’s focus is ECD (Early Childhood Development) and these funds will be used to build a new creche for 50 kids, and implement a feeding scheme for a 12-month period.

1. The Dates

2 – 10 November 2025

We will have one ride in 2025, with November being the perfect time to visit the Wild Coast.

2. The Team

Ride for Change is run by the team from Red Cherry Events, whose experience on the Wild Coast of South Africa is second to none. The team have been running these tours for the last 20 years and can assure that you are in the safest of hands to make your dream into a reality.

3. The Bikes

We make use of the trusty Honda CRF 230s. For many reasons, these are just the perfect bikes.

With a lower-than-most seat height, these bikes make it manageable for all riders to get their feet onto the ground. The 4-stroke engines deliver stable power and are not too snappy, making for an armchair-type riding style.

The bikes are air-cooled and all-electric start, meaning over heating is quite hard and you never need to worry about kick starting your bike

Ride For Change Itinerary | 2 – 10 November 2025

We will be using Trennerys Hotel to Hole in the Wall Hotel, and stay for 2 nights at most of the hotels.

It’s your choice if you want to ride every day or whether you want to chill in the bar or at the beach.

After a pleasant overnight flight, you will arrive at East London Airport, where an air-conditioned shuttle bus, loaded with ice-cold beers, will transport you to the beautiful Trennerys Hotel. Upon arrival, you will be shown to your rooms, and an introduction to your bikes will be scheduled for the early afternoon. After dinner the kit handout and an intro to the next 7 days.

      

Welcome to the Wild Coast as we cross the mighty Kei River by Motorised Ferry and embrace the magnificent Wild Coast, with stopovers at Trenneries, Wavecrest, and Mazeppa Bay Hotel. Our last challenge for the day is the mighty Gorge and crossing the Qora River. From here, it’s all the way to the shore with the Wild Coast’s finest, Kob Inn Beach Resort. Nestled right on the Indian Ocean shore, flanked by the river and the sea.

      

 

There is no pressure, and you have various ways to spend your day at Kob Inn. The options include riding your bike for 2 to 4 hours, taking a circular route via the magnificent Shixini River, or simply chilling on the beach. You can even enjoy a leisurely sleep in. The choice is yours. It’s your holiday, so enjoy it!

    

We head along the coast, riding on rolling grass hills until we reach the quaint village of Beecham Woods. We have to cross two mighty rivers, the Nqabara and Mbashe, which is an easy 30km gravel road ride. Then, we return along the coast, passing by Hole In The Wall, and reach our final destination: the Hole in the Wall Hotel, which is virtually on the beach in a small magnificent bay between great towering cliffs and the sparkling Indian Ocean.

Once again, this is your day, and whether you feel up to a ride or not, is your call. The area around Coffee Bay is Dirt Bike Heaven, and the views will blow you away.

If it’s all too much, you can visit the various drumming spots in Coffee Bay, have lunch on the cliffs of White Clay, or enjoy a beer overlooking the famous Hole-in-the-Wall.

When God made a riding day, this is it. The beautiful cliffs, golden beaches, and incredible views will make this a very memorable day for all. A stopover at Bulls Inn, Bulungulu Backpackers, and crossing the Xora can be described in one word – AWESOME!

Our final stop at the Haven Hotel with its friendly staff is our favorite spot on the Wild Coast. It’s a very easy day, so we don’t need a rest for Day 7.

This day covers a long distance, but it’s short in terms of time spent in the saddle. We’ll be riding to the town of Wiollowvale to refuel. From there, we’ll continue through Cats Pass onto the Mazeppa Bay Road and head down to the coast via the Manubi State Forest. Finally, we’ll arrive at another gem along the Wild Coast, namely the Wavecrest Hotel and Spa. We should reach our destination by lunchtime, providing everyone with the opportunity to relax in the jacuzzi on the deck during the afternoon.

You’ll have a late start in the morning at 9 am, and the ride to the Trennerys Hotel will be fast and furious, allowing you to arrive in time for showers and lunch. This is the time to catch up with some washing, laze on the beach and rekindle memories of the last 8 days on the most beautiful coastline in the world.
