TOUR DESCRIPTION:


Namibia Off-Road Motorcycle Tour — Northern Desert on KTM EXC 500

Grit meets luxury in Northern Namibia. This is a real off-road motorcycle expedition across one of Earth’s wildest landscapes—desert tracks, dry riverbeds, mountain crossings, and open country with no roads at all. You ride KTM EXC 500s—the gold standard for speed, control, and commitment. If you’ve got off-road experience and crave something remote, raw, and expertly supported, this is it.

Highlights

  • Bikes: KTM EXC 500 — purpose-built enduro machines
  • Terrain: abandoned desert tracks, riverbeds, mountains, trackless open country
  • Skeleton Coast: shipwrecks in the sand, eerie seal colonies
  • Landscapes: world’s tallest dunes, the oldest desert, the Atlantic coast
  • Wildlife moments: elephants, rhinos, giraffes, antelopes
  • Culture: Himba and Damara heritage
  • Stays: premium lodges every night + one luxury star-camp under the desert sky
  • Flex: private groups 7+ can make it custom (harder, easier… your call)

This isn’t a beach cruise. It’s Northern Namibia—deep desert country—where the riding is as real as the horizons are wide. We trace abandoned tracks, drop into dry riverbeds, crest rocky passes, and open the throttle across empty basins where the sun does all the talking.

Days finish soft: premium lodges with hot showers, cold drinks, big skies, great food. One night we go full wild with a luxury desert camp—your tent ready, the fire lit, and a cold drink waiting before the dust settles. Between stages, the route stitches together Namibia’s greatest hits: the haunted Skeleton Coast with its shipwrecks, seal colonies, and wind-carved shores; towering dunes rolling into the oldest desert on the planet; and wildlife that turns the horizon into a game drive.

This ride isn’t only throttle. It’s also encounters with Himba and Damara culture, the silence of true remoteness, and the confidence that comes with a well-supported expedition. Bring skills, bring appetite—leave the rest to the crew.

Adventure, turned all the way up. Show up. Ride. Repeat.

Ready for the off-road dream you didn’t know you needed? Claim your KTM EXC 500 and join the Namibia Off-Road Motorcycle Tour—where grit meets comfort and every mile writes a better story.
