Namibia is a vast and desolate backdrop of ancient landscapes against which a fascinating spread of flora and fauna has evolved to survive in the parched conditions.This mountain bike safari has been designed for the active types out there. For six days you will drive and ride through spectacular scenery in complete isolation - save for your guide and the handy and ever-present support vehicle.
The camps are fully serviced and reserved for exclusive use of the cycling party. Each camp has dome tents with mattresses and duvets, bucket showers and separate bush toilets. Dine by the light of a hurricane lamp and unwind beneath the stars, next to the campfire.
