10-DAY NAMIBIA OFF-ROAD ADVENTURE ITINERARY
DAY 1
You will be picked up from Walvis Bay International Airport. Then taken to the arrival hotel situated in the heart of the Swakopmund moon valley. Here you can freshen up before you will meet our team at the briefing about the upcoming Adventure.
DAY 2
Today is all about sand dunes and the Namib Desert. We ride through the coastal town of Swakopund and hit the beach. After a short ride on the beach we go into the big sand dunes. Then we will be riding all the way to Walvis Bay. Afterwards we will stop on a dune where you have a panoramic view of the largest sea salt producer in Southern Africa. Finally lunch at a cozy restaurant next to the marina in Walvis Bay. Tehn we head back to Goanikontes through the desert.
DAY 3
We head east up the Khan River. It is a magical ride with the chance to spot ostriches and klipspringers. The ride in the river is absolutely gorgeous and fun to ride. We exit the river and hit the desert flats. Passing old mine shafts and heading straight to Spitzkoppe Mountain. One of Namibia’s iconic landmarks. We will camp at the base of this magical mountain.
DAY 4
In the morning we will go for a short hike to the overhanging ‘bridge’. A must see when at Spitzkoppe. After that we hit the 4×4 jeep tracks. Passing local Damara villages, goats, and donkeys on our way to the Erongo Mountains. We will visit a Bushman village and learn more about their culture and way of life.
DAY 5
We head through the bush into the Omaruru riverbed. In the river you will ride soft sand and also pass through a muddy swamp. Time to get the bikes dirty. As we exit the river you will have the Brandberg Mountain in your sights. It is the highest Mountain in Namibia with over 45000 Bushman paintings on it. On our way we will find Local Himba woman and children selling crafts that is still made the traditional way. We ride all along the base of this huge mountain towards Brandberg White Lady lodge where we will stay the evening. Riders will be staying in comfortable rooms.
DAY 6
Rest day. While the team are prepping bikes and making sure they are ready for the next stretch you can enjoy relaxing by the pool or sit by the water hole and see what wildlife is in the area. We’ll go elephant tracking, search for mountain zebras, Kudu, springbok and giraffe roam the area attracting leopards, desert lions and spotted hyenas.
DAY 7
Enjoy the off road tracks less traveled as we head up to Palmwag lodge. We ride through the Desolation valley, the name says it all. In the Huab River is its big Anna tress, giving life to the surroundings. Oryx, springbok and giraffes are often seen in these areas. The night will be spent at Palmwag.
DAY 8
Time to head west, to the notorious Skeleton coast. It is also known as the world’s largest ship graveyard. The beaches are littered with old ship wrecks. It is a harsh landscape and we will be in the middle of it. We pass through the Skeleton gate and immediately ride towards the beach. Here we can open up those throttles as we head South riding on the beach to Cape cross Lodge. Nestled in a cozy bay with its own private beach. Definitely a complete opposite from where you just came from.
DAY 9
In the morning we will visit cape cross seal reserve which is one of the largest cape fur seal colonies in the world. We ride the salt roads past salt mines towards the small fishing town of Henties bay. From Henties we ride along the shoreline passing the Zeila wreck on our way to our end destination in Swakopmund. Here you will be booked into a hotel where we will hit the town for the night. Here we will enjoy our last dinner together.
DAY 10
Depending what time is your flight leaves you can still wander around in the old German built town before you’re transferred to the airport. If you are booked on the tour extension then we ride in the Kuiseb river delta. This area is sparsely populated with the Topnaar tribes who are a clan of the Nama people. They inhabited this area since the early 1800s. Surviving off the Narra plant. The ride will take you through a green delta covered in small sand dunes. The further we ride up the river the bigger the dunes will get, some reaching well beyond 300m. A camp will be built in these sand dunes. No noise, open sky and an unforgettable experience under the African sky.
DAY 11 (Extension)
After a relaxed morning we head back to Walvis Bay crossing the dunes and river bed. Passing a Topnaar village on the way back. Once in Walvis you will be booked into a hotel where you can get your things ready for the journey home.
DAY 12 (Extension)
Breakfast and if your flight is in the afternoon you can still wonder around in the old German built town before you’re transferred to Walvis Bay International airport.
