hardAdventure along Bosluiskloof Pass in SA
🇿🇦 South Africa
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! Bosluiskloof Pass in South Africa's Western Cape is calling your name! This isn't your average Sunday drive. We're talking a rugged, unpaved track snaking its way up to 1,124 meters between the Swartberg and Elandberg mountains. Built way back in 1862 by Adam de Schmidt (who was tight with legendary road builder Thomas Bain), this pass gets its quirky name from fossilized bush ticks found in the area’s rock. The 23.9 km route from Seven Weeks Poort to Gamkapoort Dam (talk about remote!) will throw over 60 curves at you, plus some serious inclines – we’re talking gradients up to 20%! Add in some unprotected drop-offs, and you’ll understand why a 4x4 is highly recommended. Forget about rushing; daylight is your friend here. But trust me, the slow pace is worth it. The views are absolutely breathtaking! Just remember to keep your eyes on the road while you soak it all in!
hardRoad trip guide: Conquering Tizi n'Fedhrat
🇲🇦 Morocco
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! Tizi n'Fedhrat is calling your name. We're talking about a high-altitude pass punching in at 2,145 meters (that's 7,037 feet!) in the Drâa-Tafilalet region of south-central Morocco. This wild stretch of road connects Demnat and Ouarzazate, and get ready for some serious hairpin action! This is a proper mountain road - narrow, steep, and snaking its way up a series of passes. Nestled high in the Moroccan Atlas, much of the road is unpaved, so prepare for a bumpy but beautiful ride. The scenery? Absolutely epic.
hardHow to Reach the Summit of Mount Kilimanjaro by Motorcycle? An Altitude Record in Africa
🇹🇿 Tanzania
Picture this: Africa's majestic Mount Kilimanjaro, its peak reaching a staggering 19,341 feet (5,895 meters). And get this - back in '74, a group of adventurous souls from Moto Club Igualada actually rode a Bultaco Sherpa T 250cc motorcycle to the very top! This wasn't your average Sunday drive. We're talking about navigating through Kilimanjaro National Park, adjusting to the altitude, and tackling unforgiving terrain of snow and ice. Along the way, they crossed volcanic rock scree without assistance. Their journey started in Igualada, Spain, drove to Algeciras by road, then embarked to Tangier and crossed Africa from north to south, covering a massive 20,000 kilometers, crossing the Algerian Sahara on the way back. The route took them through multiple countries, before finally arriving at the mountain, starting at the Marangu Hotel. The team reached Gilman’s Point at 5,820 meters, eventually making their way to Uhuru Peak. While not necessarily paved, it's a road with a view - one that few have ever experienced from the seat of a motorcycle!

🌍 Algeria
Okay, adventure seekers, buckle up for Azrou n'Thor! This epic mountain peak soars to 1,800 meters (5,905 feet) in the Tizi Ouzou Province of northern Algeria. Your starting point? The legendary Col de Tirourda. From there, prepare for a wild ride on the Avrid n Wezru n Thur – a notorious gravel road that leads straight to the summit. This isn't your average Sunday drive; you'll definitely need a 4x4 to conquer this beast! Keep in mind, winter brings heavy snowfall, and even a little rain can turn this road into a serious challenge. Be ready for a steep climb – it's about 5.2km of pure adrenaline with views that'll knock your socks off.
