Arrival in Windhoek

Arrival in Windhoek

Pick up at Hosea Kutako International Airport in Windhoek, 45 km transfer to Windhoek. Picking up the motorcycles. Here we stroll through the colorful hustle and bustle and familiarize ourselves with the African mentality, complete formalities, and make purchases such as exchanging money, phone cards, sunscreen and insect repellent, buying Biltong (dried meat) or similar for the road, because the next day we head into the bush.

Omaruru

Omaruru

We set off through mountainous and farmland landscapes over the town of Okahandja, with its large woodcarving market, to Omaruru, the center of Namibian artists. In early 1904, the settlement became the scene of a Herero uprising against the German soldiers stationed here, which was suppressed after only a week. The French Tower near the Omaruru River Guesthouse still reminds us of colonial times. Overnight stay at the River Guesthouse. Breakfast and dinner.

From Kalkfeld to Outjo is a short stage, but we will get up early tomorrow before sunrise. It is already a tradition to stop at the Outjo Café to try a Black Forest cherry cake. 😊 Breakfast and dinner.

We drive to the park, unfortunately, motorcycles are not allowed in the park, and during the joint wildlife safari, it quickly becomes clear to us why.

Brandberg

Brandberg

Residents of a Damaraland village show us how to start a fire without matches and give us insight into ancient traditions.

Here, historical documents were painstakingly engraved into the rock over 2000 years ago. Brandberg is Namibia's highest mountain, and it also regularly hosts visits from desert elephants. Our overnight stay, the White Lady Lodge, lies below the Brandberg by a dry river. Breakfast and dinner.

We spend another day in the charming town. Time to engage culturally. Swakopmund offers a wide range of leisure activities.

Those who prefer a quieter experience can stroll through the aquarium, jewelry stores, the crystal gallery, the museum, or cafes, or walk along the sea and/or visit a cozy beer garden. Breakfast and dinner at the restaurant at our own expense.

Die Moto Enduro-Tour durch Namibia legt den Fokus auf fortgeschrittene Fahrer, die auf 2.500 Kilometern durch verschiedene Regionen fahren. Die anspruchsvollen Strecken, insbesondere in der Sand- und Berglandschaft, erforderten ständige Konzentration und Aufwand. Nachts unter dem Sternenhimmel zu campen, stellte eine zusätzliche Belastung dar, die jedoch Teil des Abenteuers war.

Die Tour durch Namibia bietet eine gut durchdachte Routenplanung, die es ermöglicht, die verschiedenen Facetten des Landes zu erleben. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die Etappe zu den beeindruckenden Wildtierbeobachtungen im Etosha Nationalpark, wo die Fahrt über Schotterstraßen sehr anspruchsvoll, jedoch gut machbar ist. Auch die abwechslungsreiche Streckenführung von Windhoek in die Berg- und Farmlandschaften um Omaruru ist bemerkenswert strukturiert, wodurch die Teilnehmer stets gut an die Herausforderung des fortgeschrittenen Schwierigkeitsgrads herangeführt werden. Nach der Tour habe ich ein besseres Verständnis für die Schönheit und die Herausforderungen der Namibischen Landschaft gewonnen.

Die Gruppendynamik auf dieser Motorradtour durch Namibia war herausfordernd, insbesondere aufgrund des fortgeschrittenen Schwierigkeitsgrads. Der ständige Wechsel zwischen Camping und komfortablen Unterkünften, wie in Omaruru, erfordert Anpassungsfähigkeit und einen gemeinsamen Rhythmus bei den etappenweisen Wildtierbeobachtungen in Etosha.
