Plettenberg Bay is always a great place to visit for adventures and extreme sports and activities but September seems to be emerging as the month when competitive sports-lovers and adventurers visit the beautiful Plett for an assortment of races and challenges. At Amakaya Backpackers, we are always pleased to welcome participants and supporters and this month Plett will play host to the Investec PE to Plett 4 Day Stage Mountain Bike Race, the Dr Evil Classic – a 3 Day Stage Mountain Bike Race and the legendary Otter Trail Run and Challenge.
