Namibia Motorcycle Tour - 10 Days

The Namib is one of the largest and most unique natural creations on the planet.

It’s the smallest but oldest desert in the world, with one of the highest sand dunes, right in front of the ocean.

A mythical place for off-road enthusiasts.

At first it’s an adrenalin rush crossing the world’s highest sand dunes, but as the tour continues, the Namib has much more in store for its visitors… 

As the Namib has moderate temperatures and a pleasant climate, this excursion can be enjoyed at any time of year.

Day 1

Day 2

Cape Town – West Coast

It’s here, on the West Coast, that you’ll head after a hearty breakfast.

You’ll take a pretty gravel pass along the east/west axis through the mountains between the agricultural areas along the R365 to the west, with the Kransvleikloof pass to the east, close to the N7 in the Sandveld region on the west coast. The region is well known for potato production and in this kloof, with its own micro-climate, many farms also produce citrus products, similar to the Olifants river valley a few kilometers further east.

Day 2

Day 3

West Coast – Namaqualand

After a good night’s sleep and a hearty breakfast, you’ll hit the road again in the early morning, heading for Namaqualand, located in the Northern Cape region of South Africa, around 500 km from Cape Town, between the Orange River and the rugged Atlantic Ocean coastline.

Considered part of the Succulent Karoo, Namakwa (Namaqualand) is one of the most important biodiversity spots, with the largest variety of succulents on Earth as well as annual bulbous plants.

The Park stretches from the Atlantic Ocean on the west coast, to the small town of Pofadder in the east, to the Orange River in the north, south of Garies, and includes the Hantam Karoo, along the southern border of the Northern Cape Province. Namaqualand Park is open from 08:00 to 17:00 during the brief spring season, with several routes and trails to explore.

Day 3

Day 4

Namaqualand – Orange River

It’s time to set off for Ritcherseld National Park, on the border between South Africa and Namibia.

The Richtersveld is a unique mountain desert. This national park is home to grey rhinoceros, duiker, steenbok, klipspringer, kudu, Hartman’s mountain zebra, baboon, vervet monkey, caracal and leopard.

Day 4

Day 5

Orange River – Fish River Canyon

Today, you’ll head to the Namibian side of Transfrontier Park, where you’ll find the world’s second largest canyon. A large space offering one of the best views of Fish River Canyon, where you’ll catch your breath at the sight of such incredible immensity: far below, huge gorges wind through the rocky landscape.

The Fish River Canyon is around 160 km long, 27 km wide and 500 m deep. So, not only is it one of Namibia’s three main attractions, it’s also considered the second largest canyon in the world – after the Grand Canyon in the USA.

Day 5

Day 6

Fish River Canyon – Aus

You will leave Fish River Canyon in the morning. Your destination for the day is Aus, 130 kilometers from the Atlantic Ocean, a small historic town close to the Atlantic Ocean, nestled among mountains and sandy plains. The place has a charm all of its own!

Day 6

Day 7

Aus – Vioolsdrift

This morning, you’ll hop on your bikes and head for Vioolsdrift, a small town on the southern border of the mighty Orange River. It’s a popular stopover for travelers along the N7.

This route has a lot to offer. The river section highlights the magnificent Richtersveld mountains, while the Orange River offers lush greenery. It’s the vast expanses of land to the west of the canyon that those who like a view to themselves will appreciate most!

Day 7

Day 8

Vioolsdrift – Okiep

Today, you’ll head for Okiep, located in Namaqualand and known as South Africa’s oldest mining town.

Because of the rich historical value of this place, it’s well worth stopping and enjoying its beauty while driving the roads of Namaqualand!

Day 8

Day 9

Okiep – Cederberg

The penultimate stage of your adventure: the Cederberg!

Located in the heart of Namaqualand, you’ll pass through the town of Springbok to discover the spectacular scenery of the Northern Cape, a South African destination distinguished by its rugged beauty. By all accounts, the views from the valley will not disappoint!

You will arrive in Cederberg, where you will spend the night.

Day 9

Day 10

Cederberg – Cape Town

Departure around 09:00 for Cape Town, where the bikes are returned. You’ll take the road towards the Cederberg mountains, famous for their rock formations.

You’ll cross Bain’s Kloof Pass, a mountain pass on the R301 regional road between Wellington and Ceres in South Africa’s Western Cape province.

The pass reaches 594 metres at its highest point. Here, the road joins the Witte River, which flows down the northern slope of the mountains through a steep cleft to an expanse of rapid waterfalls and natural pools. Bainskloof Pass is now a national monument.

The city of Cape Town will be the final stop on your adventure, which we hope you’ll remember for a long time!
