This afternoon we organize a mountain bike tour over the beautiful trails of Stellenbosch mountain. Don't worry if you are not an experienced mountain biker, it won't be very technical (unless you ask for this :-)). Stellenbosch offers exquisite nature reserves and iconic mountains adding the most serene backdrop for any mountain biker. The trails range from easy single tracks to more technical trails for the most experienced mountain bikers. There is sure to be a trail for all mountain bikers alike. This, is an optional ride. The tour will cost R600 (2 hours), which includes: a mountain bike, helmet, day permit and a bike guide.

This afternoon we will do a 2 hour game drive at Villiera wine farm. Expect to see some giraffes, kudu's, zebra's, wildebeests and much more. For the afternoon we planned a safari game drive at a wildlife sanctuary situated at Villiera's vineyards, 15 minutes outside Stellenbosch. It includes 12 dams plus marsh areas which attract a huge variety of bird-life. Indigenous trees are grown in old milk containers, plastic water bottles etc. Thousands of indigenous trees have also been donated by the Cape Garden Centre. To date well over 100 000 trees have been planted. A number of mammals have been introduced in the Wildlife Sanctuary: Springbuck, Kudu, Giraffe, Bontebok, Eland, Gemsbok, Black Wildebeest, Bush Pig, Burchell's Zebra, common Duiker, Steenbuck, Waterbuck and Grysbok.

The last day of the New Years camp.....Check out, return of the rental bikes and transfer back to Cape Town international airport. The athletes who leave late can leave their luggage at the reception and can still make use of the gym and the pool or we might even fit in a short ride. If you want to discover South Africa after the camp, we are willing to give you some tips (there is a lot to do /see). Traveling around by car is very easy and renting a car is quite cheap (try to book in advance). You are also more than welcome to extend your camp with extra training days.
