    Ultimate African Experuence
    Our 12 day Ultimate African Adventure tour was simply brilliant. Well organised, expertly guided and supported, quality motorcycles and accomodation and included many enjoyable African experiences. Thanks to Réhann and Gustav and SAMA fir making all this possible.

    Amazing tour
    Just finished the 12 day Ultimate tour. Everyone was very friendly but also professional and efficient, so much knowledge and experience to impart. Amazing accommodation and trips (saw so many animals and learnt so much), seemed like we saw a little bit of everything but wished we'd booked a longer tour we enjoyed it that much. Daily briefings inform you about the day and with fuel, tolls, food and trips included it takes all the stress away. Bikes were great, quick shift and cruise control were a revelation! 😁. Thank you everyone at SAMA for a great experience we'll never forget.

    A good ride in February
    Rented a GS850 for nine days, rider & pillion. Communication before & after trip via WhatsApp/email worked very well and we were kept informed as to which member of staff was taking care of admin, prepping bike, collecting us to/from airport. Motorcycle was in good condition, tools/punction repair provided, BMW luggage & tankbag added as options. Very pleased with service and friendly staff. Travelled SE from Pretoria entering eSwatini near Pongola, back into SA at Oshoek then up into Mpumalanga to enjoy the wonderful scenery and twisty roads on the Panorama Route, headed north to Modimolle before returning to Pretoria. Worst potholes (extreme evil roadworks at Delmas) were on roads from Pretoria to Kwazulu-Natal, then one particularly bad stretch from Mashishing to Dullstroom. Difficult to find a road without potholes, bliss when you do. Highly recommend Sama Tours, no complaints on service or machines. We didn't do one of their tours preferring our own arrangements.

We went for a self guided tour, that was absolutelly brilliant. We came in as customers and left as friends. The SAMA Tours staff made everything perfect and even more than their actual obligations just to arrange things as better as it can be. Will be back for sure.

We did this tour and had an absolutely great time. The organisation and trip planning was very good, our well prepared GS 1250 was great to ride, the accommodation varied from good to excellent and the roads and scenery were varied and often spectacular.. The SAMA staff were a pleasure to deal with. Special thanks to Jonathan and Clayton who lead and backed up the trip really well and were a lot of fun to be with. Also to Nicole for making the whole process run smoothly.

Using the detailed tour notes provided by Nicole along with the hotel reservations at our destination each day allowed us to simply have an absolutely fantastic time. Two of us rode from Cape Town along the Garden route past Port Elizabeth to Addo, then inland and over the Swartberg Pass and several other passes into Franschhoek, over Du Toitskloof Pass (which was one of the visual highlights of the trip), to the west coast town of Paternoster - there is a brewery on the left just before you enter the town that is worth a visit - then back to Cape Town. Riding on various types of gravel roads, dirt roads that in parts were really not roads, and normal tar roads, where each day was different made this a trip we will talk about for a long time. Stopping at places on the way such as Stormsriver Mouth, Adley House in Oudtshoorn, Duiwekloof Lodge, Paternoster Dunes Boutique Hotel (which was a really nice way to end the tour) before ending up back in Cape Town made this a really enjoyable, tiring, somewhat dusty, brilliant holiday.

The information and support provided by Nicole made this a holiday to remember. I would recommend Sama for anybody that is thinking of touring this amazing country on a motorbike.

Rented a great bike from a great bunch of people. Jonathan and Nicole made the process easy and understandable. Would be happy to rent from them again. I did not take a guided tour with them, but rather rented a BMW GS for a month of wandering southern Africa. Still Jonathan picked me up and dropped me off at my hotel.

From the moment we landed in JoBurg SAMA took fabulous care of us! The BMW motorcycles were in top condition, the routes were gorgeous and the accommodations luxurious. The weather was ever-changing but our guides rolled with the challenges and we enjoyed the adventure of a lifetime! Support van with hot coffee, cold water and our luggage was never far behind, Clayton gave us helpful knowledge and organized every interaction so the trip went very smoothly.

I was a member of a group of women riders from UK who hired bmw 700GS motorcycles from this brilliant company to participate in the South African legs of a world relay.
From organising to participation the whole team at SAMA motorcycles were 100% helpful, informative and supportive. I cannot thank them all enough for the assistance given throughout our two weeks in South Africa.
Fully recommend them to anyone thinking of using them for hire or planned tours. Great for advice even when you’re in the early stages of planning.
I hope to go back soon 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
