Mountain Biking Safari

Some super pictures of Mountain Biking through the Mahshatu Game
Reserve , South Africa.
The team was lead by Hans Ray a biking Legend. Rey was joined on his
journey by a free-riding team sponsored by Adidas featuring mountain
biking stars Phil Sundbaum, Joscha Forstreuter, Mads Haugen and Andrew
Taylor. A few others went along for the ride too, including Sven
Martin and Hans’ wife Carmen as photographers, plus Greg Bond and his
armed guides from Cycle Mashatu, which runs biking adventures in the
area.
The journey began on the border between South Africa and Botswana,
where the group needed to stack their bikes on an old steel cable-cage
that pulled them across the crocodile-inhabited Limpopo River. They
were headed into the heart of Mashatu, the ‘Land of the Giants’, where
ancient elephant paths interlace a mosaic of savannah, riverine
forests, marshlands, plains and sandstone outcrops.
