2026-05-30 08:00 - 2026-06-10 17:00 UTC
-Kaokoland, The best motorcycle adventure on the planet.

Kaokoland Odyssey is a true ‘AFRICAN ADVENTURE. The tour visits the regions of Kaokoland and Damaraland in the remote north west of Namibia. We meet in the Capital Windhoek or the coastal town of Swakopmund (see tour details) The standard tour package is 11 riding days but can be between 9 and 14 days for packaged groups. It is not without reason Kaokoland is known as Africa’s ‘last unspoiled wilderness’. The tour is a giant loop into this truly remote wilderness with the Cunene River the northern most point of the journey. Along the way you’ll cross great variations of terrain, from rich grass lands, rugged rocky climbs, lengthy navigable dry river beds, desert plains and the Skeleton Coast. The region is a vast unfenced game park with herds of antelope, giraffe and desert elephant roaming free. We’ll get to meet the Himba People, a semi-nomadic tribe that live seemingly untouched by the modern world. The women are instantly recognisable by the red dye that covers their bodies as protection from the sun and insects. Our accommodation ranges from stunning bush lodges, guesthouses to remote bush camps. Group size is limited to 6 riders and you’ll be looked after by your trained motorcycle guide and the accompanying four wheel drive support vehicle and trailer. Recommended rental motorcycles are KTM500EXC & Husqvarna FE501
Tour packages include motorcycle rental ( or option to ride your own bike), all fuel, back-up vehicle & trailer, 10 x nights bed & breakfast accommodation, 4 dinners + selected lunches , bike support, satellite phone communication, and experienced first aid trained rider guide.

The tour is an 11 day, 2500 km loop of the Kaokoland and Damaraland regions of Namibia (North West).
It’s like giant unfenced nature park with large numbers of free roaming wild animals. The tracks we ride include hundreds of kilometres of dry riverbeds, remote two track paths in the African bush and wide open plains. WHERE REMOTE TRULY MEANS REMOTE. There are no shops or gas stations for most of the middle part of the tour and we carry fuel and supplies in the support truck.

We’ve tweaked the route to eliminate the long less interesting bits without losing any of features that make this the best motorcycle adventure on the planet.
