Questions about the tour itinerary?

Our tour guide is happy to answer any questions about the day-by-day route, stops, and details.

160 km to Victoria Falls

The border crossing to Zimbabwe by motorcycle can be frustrating and time-consuming, so we take a shuttle ride from the lodge for a day trip and wait for our guide to sort out all the documents. Then we are greeted by the "Mosi-oa-Tunya" - "the smoke that thunders," one of the most impressive waterfalls in the world. Experience the majestic waterfall, explore the town of Victoria Falls, and visit the local markets before we return to the Senyati Safari Camp. The Victoria Falls are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and offer numerous activities such as helicopter flights, bungee jumping, and white-water rafting.

245 km to Elefant Sands

We continue our motorcycle trip south on the "Elephant Highway" towards Nata. Today is a day for wildlife observation, so the route is relatively short. In the afternoon, you can relax by the pool and watch elephants visiting the waterhole. Overnight stay at the Elephant Sands Lodge, known for its spectacular elephant encounters. The lodge is located in a nature reserve that serves as a home for many elephants.

220 km to Makgadikgadi Pan

In Nata we change direction and head east with our machines. The journey takes us past the vast salt pans of the Makgadikgadi Pans, one of the largest salt pans in the world. These provide unique photo opportunities and the chance to experience the expansiveness of the Botswana landscape. We take an excursion onto the pan and spend the night at the quirky Planet Baobab, which is nestled among ancient baobab trees. Enjoy a traditional African dinner under the stars. The Makgadikgadi Pans are a remnant of an ancient lake and offer fascinating landscapes as well as a rich wildlife during the rainy season.

220 km to Maun

Today we have a shorter drive to Maun, the 'gateway to the Okavango Delta.' Maun is known for its vibrant atmosphere and as a starting point for safari adventures. A scenic flight over the Okavango Delta offers the opportunity to see the impressive floodplains and channels from a bird's eye view.

Christian K.

The tour took us through Namibia and Botswana, a challenging motorcycle tour that I started with the hope of exciting moto enduro routes and cultural experience...

Translated from German · Show original

Die Tour führte durch Namibia und Botswana, eine anspruchsvolle Motorradtour, die ich mit der Hoffnung auf spannende moto enduro-Strecken und kulturelle Erfahrungen gestartet habe. Besonders auffällig war die Gruppendynamik während der täglichen Etappen, die mit maximal 20 Teilnehmern klar strukturiert und durch tägliche Briefings begleitet wurde. Das Tempo wurde durch die unterschiedlichen Erfahrungslevels in der Gruppe angepasst, was sowohl bei der Wanderung am Waterberg als auch bei den Fahrten zum Okavango-Delta zu einem ausgewogenen Reiseerlebnis führte. Nach der Tour wurde mir klar, wie wichtig eine harmonische Gruppendynamik für den Erfolg solcher anspruchsvoller Reisen ist.
