Namib Trail

This 8-night trail runs through the remote expanse of Namibia's central area. A wide open expanse wilderness dotted with rocky outcrops and dry river beds. It offers a wild gravel riding experience as we make our way over from the mountains of Erongo and Spitzkoppe, over the open plains of Uis and on the wild reaches of the Damaraland, home to the desert elephants and lions. Journeying by bike opens a new perspective to the intrepid rider, allowing us to get to places not often seen by tourists. And once we find ourselves at any one of our serene overnight camps, the days riding will make the sundowner drink even sweeter.

The Namib desert isn’t heaven but it’s damn close. Starting in Namibia’s Erongo bushveld, we traverse the formidable desert plains en route to the coastal town of Swakopmund. Free-camping brings us to legendary locations like Spitzkoppe and the Khan River. The bustle of the city is a million miles away as we soak in spectacular African sunsets and bask in the starlight of a milky way uncorrupted by light pollution. Keep a sharp eye out for the elusive desert wildlife, like the iconic oryx antelope or the sly brown hyena. As we conclude our trip in Swakopmund, enjoy the feast of a traditional meal to reward your tired muscles.

Note: The Namib Trail has a predetermined point-to-point route and for this reason, we can not adjust the type or length of riding. However, a back-up vehicle is always on hand.
