I emailed Sossusvlei lodge yesterday and asked them if i could take a motorcycle all the way to the lodge and they said YES.? Or is the lodge not "there" yet? How the road to the lodge, looks like 6km of thick sand   :eek7: Yes the Lodge is at the entrance to the Park.  From the NWR gate to...

Hi DrBob Full agreement with the previous posts.  Many guys come and do solo trips.  Haul out your map and see the route via Windhoek, Namibia through the Caprivi Strip ( now called Zambezi) to Vic Falls.  We certainly can help with a trip and routes to follow. One could then go through...

Hi Cyclops Stayed at Old Bridge backpackers in December last year it was wonderful.  Especially with all the international folk.  The accommodation was comfy and once we parked the bikes we could relax as they serve dinner and breakfast. I will watch this space for a report.  Have a good trip...

Hi Guys, If you are importing the bike from SA to Namibia you need a police clearance and all vehicles new or old need a data dot before you can get a police clearance for export in SA.  This is only if the vehicle is permanently leaving SA. If you come on holiday no clearance is required.  :)

Ha found it!  How are things looking?  I will keep looking at the thread to see what comes of it.  We leave on the same date and maybe we can change plan and come direct to Zim and go back via Zambia. We might even give Zambia a miss as it is sooo expensive to get a bike in...
