Staying inside the Sesriem gate is what gets you onto the dunes at sunrise — the outer gate opens an hour later than the inner one.

Deadvlei's camelthorn trees died about seven hundred years ago and have not rotted because it is too dry. They are not petrified — they are just dead and standing.

The Benguela current makes this coast cold and foggy — it is why the Skeleton Coast is called that.

6 days of proper riding. The support vehicle was never far when someone needed it. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. Worth every rupee.
Namib & Skeleton Coast on two wheels is the way to see it. No complaints about the organisation. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude.
Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to see you on another trip.

Thanks for writing this up. We've passed your note to the team.
One of the bikes had problems from day two and the spare took a while to arrive. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it.
Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to see you on another trip.
Route planning was the strong point — long days, but the stops were in the right places. Would book with them again.
Machines were well maintained and the daily briefings were short and useful. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. Recommended.
Thank you for travelling with us — glad the route worked out.
Route planning was the strong point — long days, but the stops were in the right places. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones. No hesitation recommending them.
Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to see you on another trip.
The outer Sesriem gate opens at sunrise; the inner gate, which only guests staying inside can use, opens an hour earlier. That hour is the difference between climbing Big Daddy in the cool dark and starting it in the sun.
