Daily program: Kaokoland for Enduro riders

Day 1: Arrival in Windhoek

You will be picked up at Hosea Kutako International Airport in Windhoek and have a 45-kilometer transfer to Windhoek. Here we will stroll through the colorful hustle and bustle and familiarize ourselves with the African mentality, complete formalities, and make purchases such as currency exchange, SIM cards, sun and insect protection, and buy biltong (dried meat) or similar for the road, as the next day we will head into the Namib Desert. Accommodation: Lodge / Camping

Day 2: Journey to Kamanjab:

Transfer to Kamanjab on a comfortable bus to avoid the long drive to Kaokoland. Breaks in Otjiwarongo and Outjo. In the afternoon, pickup of motorcycles. Accommodation: Guesthouse / Camping, Meals: Breakfast and Dinner

Day 3: Adventure in the Khowarib Gorge

Today will be exciting and challenging. We will ride through a small dry riverbed into the impressive Khowarib Gorge. Keeping a distance is important as it can get dusty due to Fech-Fech. We can wash off the dust in the water that suddenly emerges from the dry riverbed.
