TOUR DESCRIPTION:
This adventure puts YOU right in the center of the action: This is the kind of ride where the experiences you’ll live on this tour will stay with you for a lifetime.
An expedition designed by people who love this part of Africa, but also know a thing or two about motorcycles!
An adventure ride combining off-road riding, wildlife, beaches, the highest sand dunes in the world, the world’s oldest desert, safaris, relaxation on the beach too.
We will take you on a unique loop through Namibia. You will see the world famous, Sossuvlei, the Atlantic Ocean coast and ancient rock carvings.
You will also get a feel for the way of life of some of the most ancient tribes of Africa (Himba and Damara), but also touch some of the colonial history with a visit to the beautiful town of Swakopmund. You will admire the rock engravings in Twyfelfontein.
An unforgettable safari at unique private wildlife game reserve, famous for its wildlife diversity is also on our program! You will see giraffes, elephantas, various types of antelopes, zebras, ostigges, hpos and even rhinos!
This expedition offers a great mix of riding: long 4×4 desert tracks, single tracks, dune riding, varied attractions, culture and absolutely unique natural wonders. We’ll also climb the steepest pass of Namibia, with gradients of 14%: Spreetshoogte pass
We’ll stay close to nature with a number of comfortable camping nights in the desert.
This tour is not a “plain vanilla” ride taking you from Cape Town to Windhoek, Rather, it is a true expedition that will take you far beyond the beaten tracks to see the highlights of Namibia, off-road!
