Does it get better than this?

Our second indulgence was to do no camping on this trip. What a pleasure to get off the bikes after another epic day in the saddle and chill at a great guesthouse or lodge. And Kaokoland has some show stopper lodges on offer.

Its almost become boring to post Kaokoland pics. There are so many stunning pics of this amazing place, but what the hell here are a couple more from a recent trip. WE cheated a bit and chartered an 8 seater Caravan up to Ruacana from Windhoek where we met our bikes. A great option which cut...

Hi, Anyone know how to get 2 Husqvarna 501's from Brits to Cape Town urgently? Contact me (John) at 0833252381

We have a misconception that us bike travellers bring in a significant income into the Namibian economy. If we vanish it hardly causes a blip on the radar. Sadly our spend at local camps is negligible. Camp sites are ND200 a night compared to very average lodges at ND2500. Add a bar spend on...

I think some guys are missing my point. Is it true the Lodges / Namibian guides and tour operators have an agenda to get rid of us. Of course. it's largely about money as always. Are bikers the 'bad guys'? No worse than any other users. And sadly even if we do everything right we might still...

This has been discussed before but we refused to listen. I chatted to Dirkie Baard this morning and he sadly tells me the entire Brandberg Conservancy is becoming out of bounds to bikes. This includes the Valley of Desolation, upper and lower Huab Rivers as well. It's a done deal and sadly more...

Hi Dogs, Does anyone have or know of anyone with safe parking for a car and trailer in Touwsriver for one night? This coming Tuesday? Cheers, John

Yes, they have both petrol and diesel at the hotel pumps. Sean Dewet always had fuel as well. Feel a bit sorry for him as it was a nice extra income stream and his fuel cans were always good & clean.

A big ride for sure through some of the most scenic and iconic adventure riding areas of Southern Africa. Starts in East London and heads up as far as Mboyti over 3 days and then a chilled rest day to Underberg. Three Lesotho days, heading up Sani. (Rapid antigen test in Underberg gets you...

Sadly no good pics of the return leg to Van Rhynsdorp. A short section of awesome sand twee spoor and a rocky canyon before the easy gravel tracks down south. The Namaqua  flower season has started , and although early there were already vast fields of colour throughout the trip...

.

And then the fun day along the Orange to Pella. Everything you could wish for on an adventure ride.

The beautiful  Frontier River Resort our crash spot for night two. The resort perched up on a hill overlooking the Orange River and Namibia never disappoints. Same applies to Christines legendary catering. The stunning Frontier River Resort hosted us on the Orange River . Christine's...
