  • Motorcycle Tour South Africa and Namibia, from Cape Town to Windhoek Motorcycle Tour South Africa and Namibia, from Cape Town to Windhoek
    Motorcycle tour South Africa and Namibia, from Cape Town to Windhoek Motorcycle tour South Africa and Namibia, from Cape Town to Windhoek Duração Dificuldade Veículo de apoio 14 días Normal-Hard Sim Language Guia en,de Sim Namibia, a vast 830 thousand square kilometre expense of desert flanked by the icy Atlantic Ocean, is home to slightly less than 1.7 million citizens. That’s less than half the number of Cape Town residents. Unending roads stretch out as far as the eye can see under a sky that’s so big it can only be described as heavenly with space enough to truly breathe. The two-week trip starts in Cape Town and winds its way up our west coast to culminate in Namibia’s capital, Windhoek. With both on and off-road riding, the 2,100 miles city to city tour is an epic tribute to solitude and uninterrupted riding with out-of-this world scenery. Your on-road riding experience will be punctuated by some gravel road riding exploring such places as the mountainous Cedarberg region, the Northern Cape, one of the world’s oldest deserts as well as the Fish River Canon, the world’s second largest canyon. Approximately 50% of this tour is on dirt roads, some basic off-road riding skills are required. Itinerário 1 - - Cidade do Cabo - 0 Welcome. Almost all international flights arrive in Cape Town before midday. Our tour guide will meet you at the airport and taxi you directly to your hotel where you can freshen-up and perhaps have a light bite to eat.
