22 Days Epic Motorcycle Tour of Zimbawe, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa
By popular demand, we have a brand-new GRAVEL tour that Travels from Victoria Falls, through Namibia to Cape Town. This tour is focused on riding the best Gravel roads that Namibia has on offer. This tour will be led by Thomas Bohm- a BMW certified off-road instructor who will be able to give you tips and tricks along the way.
On top of Seeing Victoria Falls, visiting Chobe National Park and going on a safari on the Okavango Delta, Highlights include: Sleeping out on the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, seeing The breathtaking Spitzkoppe Rock Formations, riding through the Moon Landscape and meandering through the Namib desert at Sosssusvlei. We will also ride to Fish River Canyon, explore a ghost Town that has been taken over by the Desert, and explore the wilderness region of Cederberg in South Africa
We recommend being at least an Intermediate to advanced gravel rider to enjoy yourself. This isn’t Trail Riding- Most of the roads are good hard packed gravel, but there are some short sandy sections and rocks, ruts, and other adventures along the way
