Sossusvlei Motorbike Safari
| DAY 1 |
|
Arrive at the Hosea Kutako International Airport (Windhoek) where you will meet your safari leader.
Our comfortable 4x4 vehicles will transport you to a scenic lodge situated ± 11 kilometres from the airport. Safari briefing and an induction course on dirt road motorbike riding will follow upon arrival at the lodge.
You are now ready to get your first taste of African dirt roads and will have plenty of time during the rest of the day to familiarize yourself with the motorbike you will be using during the safari.
|
 |
The freedom of the open road beckons |
Final safari administration and planning will be concluded before dinner is served at the lodge while you enjoy the opportunity to acquaint yourself with your safari hosts and fellow participants. Lodge accommodation will provide sufficient comfort for a good night’s rest prior to the first day of serious riding.
|
| DAY 2 |
310km |
Early wake up call by your safari leader and a hearty Namibian breakfast at the lodge will set you up for your first day of true adventurous dirt road riding. The safari will proceed towards Windhoek and through the outskirts of the capital.
A 5km ascend along the Kupferberg Pass will be your gateway to the scenic splendour of the Khomas Hochland. We will be stopping at an observation point on the summit of the Gamsberg, Namibia’s third highest mountain, for a spectacular view of the valleys beneath.
The breathtaking Gamsberg Pass will take you towards Solitaire which is a real oasis along the dusty trial. |
|
Gamsberg Pass |
|
A visit to the Solitaire General Dealer store will afford you the opportunity to enjoy Goose McGregor’s world famous apple pie. Share the excitement of your motorbike adventure with you fellow adventurers around a campfire while a traditional Namibian dinner is being prepared on open fire by your hosts. Tonight will be your first taste of the freedom offered by camping under clear African skies. |
|
| DAY 3 |
|
After an early breakfast prepared on open fire we will depart on a day visit to Sesriem canyon and Sossusvlei. The compact Sesriem canyon is not much more than a narrow cleft, up to 30m deep and so well hidden that you could almost stumble into it. The canyon makes an interesting excursion into the river bed with its scattered pools of coll water, remnants of the Tsauchab River which ends at Sossusvlei, 70km away. |

Sossusvlei area |
The Sossusvlei area is remote, impressive and starkly beautiful. The huge dunes on the way to Sossusvlei constantly appear to change their colours, texture and patterns, depending on the position of the sun. A 50km drive along the unique “dune street” between the ancient red sand monsters will take you up to 5km away from Sossusvlei.
The last stretch is covered on foot but the first sight of the spectacular “Dead Vlei” makes the effort well worth. Unwind around the campfire with a refreshing drink after the day’s activities while dinner is being prepared. By now the privacy of your dome tent should feel very much like home.
|
| DAY 4 |
260km |
After breakfast at the camp we will leave the tranquility and peace of the desert behind and depart for charming coastal town of Swakopmund. Long stretches of gravel road will take us through the Gaub Pass and Kuiseb Pass to Walvisbay and from here it is only a few kilometers of tar road to Swakopmund. Comfortable accommodation will be provided in Swakopmund.
Tonight you will be treated to traditional German cuisine in one of the finest restaurants in town. The cool and fresh sea breeze will guarantee a rejuvenating night’s rest.
|
| DAY 5 |
|
After breakfast we will depart for a day of various activities and sight seeing in and around Swakopmund. Swakopmund is a colourful blend of the old, solid, colonial past and the new vibrant Namibia. It is a true tourist friendly town with the accent on relaxation and enjoyment with a full range of things to do and places to see.
Possible activities include: Tandem skydive, scenic airplane flights, sand boarding, boat cruises, and visits to the moon landscapes, lichen fields, dunes, welwitschia mirabilis & aquarium.
|
| DAY 6 |
304km |
After breakfast at Villa Wiese we will set off along the coast to Hentiesbay. As you continue along the coast you will notice bright splashes of colour on the grey sands. These are lichen fields, consisting of colonies of these primitive plants which obtain all of their moisture from the sea fog and which is a very threatened species.
From Hentiesbay we will proceed to the Spitzkoppe across the open desert. The Spitzkoppe is one of the most famous landmarks in Namibia and the view of this impressive mountain is superb with plenty of tempting photographic opportunities. From here it is only a short distance before you reach Ameib Ranch in the Erongo Mountains. You will camp in the Erongo Mountains and dinner will be served while you relax around the camp fire.
|
| DAY 7 |
320km |
Our last day of riding will cover the stretch from Ameib Ranch to Windhoek. From Windhoek we will proceed to a lodge near the Hosea Kutako International Airport for the last night of the safari.
