The Dunes of Namibia

Namibian Desert (9 day)

Tour Description: Guided

The Namib Desert, the site of this cycling tour, derives its name from the a Nama term meaning "vast place" and occupies an area of arund 80,900 square kilometers. It is considered to be the oldest desert in the world. The Namib Naukluft Park is the largest game reserve in Africa (and the fourth largest in the world!). A visit to the spectacular dunes of Sossusvlei and Sesriem Canyon, where the Tsauchab River has exposed millions of years of geological history, is a must-visit site for visitors to Namibia.

A combination of vehicle and cycling is a unique way to experience the Namibian desert scenery. This tour is rated "challenging" due to daily distances, but the difficulty level can be adjusted somewhat according to fitness standards. A few highlighted routes per day will be cycled with a support vehicle behind the last cycler and a guide cycling amongst the group. Most of the cycling will be done on smooth gravel roads. All camps and lodges visited have swimming pool and bar facilities.
