Top Highlights

  • ChristuskircheNamibia is the second least densely populated country on earth and the distances between the stops on this trip reflect that.
  • Spreetshoogte PassStaying inside the Sesriem gate is what gets you onto the dunes at sunrise — the outer gate opens an hour later than the inner one.
  • Dune 45Deadvlei's camelthorn trees died about seven hundred years ago and have not rotted because it is too dry.

6 days of proper riding. The support vehicle was never far when someone needed it. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Would send friends their way.

Namib & Skeleton Coast on two wheels is the way to see it. No complaints about the organisation. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones. Good value for what's included.

Route planning was the strong point — long days, but the stops were in the right places. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones.

Machines were well maintained and the daily briefings were short and useful. Worth every rupee.
