Has anyone been up to Lesotho via Ongeluks lately. Very tempted to go up on Wednesday next week and wondered if the border post is operating. Last time I came down it took 2 hours of hooting and shouting to find someone to open the gate.

Hi, Needing some advise on taking bikes to and from Tanzani. We're a big group riding up to Arusha (Tanzania) through Zim, Zambia, Malawi and then Tanzania. Advice needed? * Do we need carne's for the trip? * Is it possible to get 'fixers' to help speed up border crossings? And how do you...

Does anyone have space for us to park a couple of cars and trailers for 2 nights towards the end of August? Trying to avoid the long schlep to and from Cape Town on small bikes. Cheers, John

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

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...

A good friend’s son had his beloved Transalp stolen from behind a high gate on Friday. Not just a bike but part of his life. Still has a French licence plate (rode it back through Africa) https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1970108719808364&id=100004277650865

Every couple of years I do an 'EXTREME' route in Kaokoland. Not crazy enduro stuff, but a little more challenging than my regular tourists sign up for. Well 2021 isn't going to be a good international tourist year thanks to `Covid , so a great time to squeeze in another of these tough...

Robbie's Pass is one of those legendary passes that we all know about but seldom get the chance to ride. Unless you're lucky enough to have a support van in the area it's a mission getting through with a load of luggage, camping gear and extra fuel. Once every couple of years I take groups on...

KAOKOLAND XTREME WILD RIDE I've had this in mind for a while. A route with all those crazy tough parts of Kaokoland I couldn't offer to the average adventure rider. Perfect for the 500 / 690 guys and I guess the new midsize bikes with an expert pilot. ---------------------------------- A...
