to Maltahohe 310km, this is a riding day with everybody getting to
grips with the bikes and the gear. The road is flat and the area has a
unique mystique to it.
The Maltahohe Hotel is the oldest hotel in Namibia still operating partly in its original building.
The
historic hotel was established in 1907 and is located 300 kilometers to
the south of Windhoek making it the ideal stop over en route to
Sossusvlei, Luederitzbucht, the Diamond Fields or the mighty Fish River
Canyon.

canyon for a very special sunset over the dessert. This sight is amazing
and will definitely be spectacular.

the largest in Africa, as well as the second most visited tourist

We
will make an early start to avoid the heat as we are traveling in the
dessert today, next to the Namib Naukluft National Park.
Our
destination is Sesriem; although we only ride 345km today it will be
one of the toughest of the trip as the roads are very loose and
challenging. An early start is essential today.
Sossusvlei
Lodge, at the entrance gate to the legendary Sossusvlei in the Namib
Naukluft Park. Desert Camp offers magnificent 360-degree views over
unspoiled nature, the rugged Naukluft Mountains, spectacular granite
outcrops, vast desert plains and the red sand dunes of the Namib Desert.
For the Budget traveler, this offers true African ambiance.

Sesriem we will travel towards the coast trough Namib Naukluft National
Park, our destination is Swakopmund. We will ride only 347km today also
very hard riding, as the roads are very loose. We will cross the tropic
of Capricorn today. This is a great ride and wonderful vistas await us,
not to mention the cold beer in the Beach bar.
Namib-Naukluft National Park
Picture
enormous Lawrence-of-Arabia dunes, vast gravel plains, towering
mountain ranges and deep sculptured canyons: your image is the
Namib-Naukluft National Park. Covering almost 50,000km², it is one of
the largest conservation areas in Africa and an alluring travel
destination. It's easy to explore the contrasting landscapes by
yourself. The roads are spectacular, so make sure you leave plenty of
time to stop, take photographs and have a picnic surrounded by space and
silence.
DAY 7
After
breakfast we will be leaving for the very famous Spitzkuppe satiated
south of UIS, we will be only doing a total of about 168km riding today
because of the time we want to spend exploring the wonderful area.
The
Spitzkoppe between Usakos and Swakopmund is also described as the
"Matterhorn of Namibia". Rising to an altitude of about 1800 meters, the
Spitzkoppe is by no means Namibia's highest mountain, however, due to
its striking outlines, it is regarded as the most well known mountain in
the country. Situated in an endless, dry plain, the island of mountains
can be seen from far away.
DAY 8
Today
is a long days ride (394km) to Etosha National park where we will spend
2 nights exploring the wonderful park. Included in the tour is a full
days game drive with a game drive vehicle.
Etosha
means "place of dry water," and the heart of the park is the Etosha
pan, an extensive, flat basin about 5000 square kilometers. This great,
white expanse is a place of shimmering mirages where large herds of game
in this setting make Etosha a unique experience. German Governor von
Lindequist established one of the major sanctuaries for wildlife in
Africa, Etosha National Park in 1907. Expert management, the protection
of the environment, and carefully controlled size and location of camps
and lodges gives visitors the feeling of being truly in the wild. The
wide-open spaces make a visit to the park an unforgettable experience.

Game
drive in the park, fully catered by the lodge we are staying for the
two nights. The lodge is a paradise and we will definitely end the tour
of on a high note.

will end the tour, this night we will eat at the famous Joes Beerhouse
and celebrate the tour that has ended. This night’s accommodation and
