#4 Sondela

Why Ride Sondela?

The Ford Trailseeker MTB Series heads to the heart of the Bushveld for its fourth stop, the beautiful Sondela Nature Reserve in Limpopo. Just an hour from Pretoria, this family-friendly venue blends big adventure with total relaxation, making it the perfect race-and-getaway combo. 

Expect smooth, flowy trails that twist through the bush, encounters with wildlife along the way, and wide-open scenery that captures the true spirit of Africa. The 70km marathon offers a thrilling mix of technical descents, game tracks, and singletrack, while the shorter distances feature fun, non-technical trails perfect for new riders.

If you’ve been thinking about stepping up to a longer distance, Sondela is the best place to do it. The terrain is forgiving, the atmosphere supportive, and the post-race vibe simply unbeatable
