The Transfer

Meals Included:
Dinner
<b> About 300km tarred road </b>
Your first day on your motorcycle. Your luggage travels in the backup vehicle. We ride beautiful, quiet roads so you can get used to your motorcycle – and, if necessary, to driving on the left.
Along the road you’ll see Herero women with their characteristic wide skirts and impressive headgear. Your overnight stop is close to the border.
On the cheetah farm you’ll join with the evening feeding. Interacting with these magnificent animals is an experience you’ll never forget!
Next morning, after breakfast, you can go for a walk with a Bushman (Khoisan).
Meals Included:
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
About 460km tarred road
After crossing the border you continue your ride through the Kalahari. The solitude is only broken by small towns like Tshootsa and Ghanzi, your lunch stop.
At the end of this long riding day you reach Maun. After seeing nothing but desert today it is hard to imagine that you are actually on the edge of one Africa’s largest river deltas!
Meals Included:
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Wildlife Safari
The Okavango Delta truly belongs as one of the natural wonders of the World! During the wet season the delta fills up with water, which partly evaporates during the dry season. Since there is water all-year round, both the wildlife as well as the birdlife are abundant.
An open air safari vehicle will take you to the tented camp deep in the delta. Large tents, mattresses and sleeping bags will be provided. This special place will be your home for the next two nights.
Meals Included:
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Wildlife Safari
The camp is situated on the border area between the wet Okavango Delta and the much drier Moremi game reserve. As a result of these differences between dry and wet habitats this area is one of the richest in wildlife. The open air safari vehicles are by far the best way to spot animals and birds and to take the best pictures.
To finish it all off you also go on a night drive to observe the animals which are only active after dark. Staying here is so special that you’ll remember your visit to the Okavango Delta for the rest of your life!
Meals Included:
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
About 300km tarred road
The morning sees our return to the lodge in Maun where we pick up our motorbikes for the ride between endless salt flats and leafless Baobab trees to Nata.
Here you are taken for sundowners, so relax and enjoy a typical orange African sunset over one of the immense salt flats!
Meals Included:
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
About 300km tarred road
Today you riding in a northerly direction through an area rich in wildlife. Sightings from the motorbike are common. Rarely do we see lions, but they have never expressed interest in motorbikers – at least till now.
You stay two nights in Kasane, just outside Chobe national park.
After arrival we go for a game cruise on the Chobe River. The boat will take you between dozens of elephants on the shores and hundreds of hippos in the water. This is a boat ride you definitely don’t want to miss out on!
Meals Included:
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Full day excursion to Victoria Waterfalls
Early in the morning you will be collected by our Zimbabwean colleagues and taken across the border into Zimbabwe. From far you can see mist rising above the landscape from the Victoria Falls. This is what gave them their local name: Mosi-oa-Tunya, the Smoke that Thunders.
You’ll have ample time to admire this natural wonder. Walk along the edge of the gorge into which the waterfalls drop, take a flight high above the falls and lunch in cosy Victory Falls.
At the end of a long and exciting day you return to your lodge in Kasane, Botswana.
Meals Included:
Breakfast, Dinner
About 380km tarred road
Today you ride across a corner of Chobe to the border of Namibia. You might spot some more wild game life before crossing the border. The road continues through the Caprivi Strip, which is very different from the desert you have mostly seen till now. With a bit of luck you will catch glimpses of a bushbuck, a kudu or an elephant.
From the sundeck at the edge of the Okavango River you will be enthralled by the river turning orange from the light of the setting sun.
Meals Included:
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
About 370km tarred road
As the day goes on you’ll see more and more traffic on the road. The distance between villages gets shorter and shorter. All signs leading you to conclude you are nearing one of the more densely populated areas of Namibia.
You will sleep near Grootfontein, which is a typical African town which looks like a busy city compared to the emptiness of the last week.
Meals Included:
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
About 430km tarred road
Today you say goodbye to the last of the villages and towns and ride through a rich fertile area with large farms. As the day goes on the desert starts taking over again and you’ll start spotting springbokkies, a first sign of the rich wildlife you’ll encounter tomorrow.
At the end of the day you will arrive at our cosy guesthouse outside Etosha National Park.
Meals Included:
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Wildlife Game Drive
Early in the morning you board a safari vehicle for your full-day game drive. Etosha is home to the largest population of both black as well as white rhino in the whole of Africa. Did you know a white rhino is just as grey as a black rhino?
You’ll also see many giraffes, kudus, gazelles and other antelopes. You’re also at risk to encounter predators like lions, cheetahs, leopards, jackals and hyenas. Most animals are active in the morning and at the end of the day. The warmest time of the day is for resting, an excellent example which we will follow.
Meals Included:
Breakfast, Dinner
About 405km tarred road
Your last day on the motorcycle! You ride a good tarred road into Windhoek and back to the civilized world. You are quick to realise with the busy traffic just how far you have been from civilization the past weeks. Fortunately civilization has its advantages, like ice-cold beers, terraces and a scrumptious dinner in a nice restaurant.
Meals Included:
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Airport Transfer
Too soon the time has come to say goodbye! Depending on your departure time you will be transfered solo or together with others to the airport.
If you fly via Cape Town, you might want to make a stopover on the way back and spend some additional time in Cape Town.
Table Mountain, Cape of Good Hope, the famous Wineland, Robben Island or shark cage diving – Cape Town awaits you.

Our guide will stop at a convenient scenic spot roadside about every 100kms affording you to stretch the legs.
Lighter riding gear is more comfortable in terms of temperature but adventure riding gear, proper riding boots and neck braces are advised, as we want to run safe trips and are usually far from hospitals.
