When I was training for the GS Trophy, I met Warren Venter, a South African who invited me to the world-famous Country Trax adventure riding academy in South Africa. It took me about 10 minutes to decide, and within half an hour I had plane tickets to South Africa. After a week of riding at Country Trax, I had made incredible riding progress, not only because of the great training conditions, but also because of the local riders who are happy and open to share their know-how.

I’ve had a lot of friends on Instagram (@andrew_pov1) telling me that they’ve been following my journey and would like to experience a similar „fly to ride“ expedition – just this was the impulse that drove Waren and I to start a travel agency and open bookings for our first expeditions in and around South Africa.
