African Icons Event – 28 to 31 August 2025

Plan Your Perfect Stay: What to Do at Summerplace

We are excited to announce the annual Absa African Icons charity cycling event, taking place from the 28th to the 31st of August 2025 at the Summerplace Game Reserve. Tickets are limited to just 60 riders, so book yours today and join us for an unforgettable weekend of stunning views and cycling adventures in the heart of the Bosveld. With over 160km of trails at Summerplace Game Reserve, shaped by the natural terrain of the Waterberg, we offer rides and routes suited for riders of all levels, and just like last year, the ladies will have their very own routes, ensuring everyone can ride. You’ll have the opportunity to ride alongside some of the country’s most legendary sports icons, who will be revealed soon, at this year’s 3-day social MTB event. The adventure kicks off with a welcome dinner on the 28th of August 2025, and our first ride will take place on the morning of Friday, 29 August 2025.
