SaveSome would say that the mountain biking trail network at Emerald Vale Craft Brewery & Restaurant in Cintsa is even better than our awesome beer and food - but that may be a bit of a stretch.
Our trail network has more than 30kms of challenging singletrack (60%) and jeep track (40%) with routes of multiple distances possible. The network is located in the scenic African bush landscape overlooking the Chintsa and Chefane River mouths.
Come join us for a great mountain bike ride and enjoy a cold beer and some warm food afterwards
