​
​
Leave the UK for Windhoek, Namibia


Day one: Maun 
Fly into Maun a little river town in Botswana, check in, kick back and relax.
Tonight we will meet the team have a couple of beers and go through the briefing
 
Day two: Maun to Okavango Delta Lodge 
We leave the bikes behind in Maun and jump aboard the safari vehicles for a guided game drive through the Okavango Delta to tonight's bush camp, where we spend the night in the wilds, no fences, no electricity just camp showers and toilets under the stars, the real deal.
 
Day three: Remote Bush Camp 
After breakfast we jump back into the jeeps and head deeper into the Bush in search of big game. This is a full day in the bush eating food solely prepared on the fire and listening to the natural "noise" and we bed down.
 
Day four: Bush Camp to Nata 300 kms
After an early game drive back to Maun we are reunited with the bikes. Today we hit the road and head toward the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans.
 
Day five: Nata to Kasane 307 kms 
Today is spent riding up and along the Zimbabwe border and through the Sibuyu and Kasane Forest Reserves which gives us the rare opportunity to spot members of the Big 5 from our bikes and if that wasn't chance enough after checking in to our lodge in Kasane we do the Chobe Sunset River Cruise.
 
Day six: Kasane to Victoria Falls to Kasane 
Today we jump back into the jeeps and after a short transfer we cross the border into Zimbabwe to discover the majestic Victoria Falls. Options to take a helicopter flight over the falls or a more sedate ride on an elephant. (extra activities not included) After tea at the Colonial Victoria Falls Hotel we head back to Kasane for supper.
 
Day seven: Kasane to Divundu 433 kms 
The day starts with a 50km ride through the Chobe National Park with a chance to discover plenty of wildlife from the saddle of your BMW, including big game. We then ride through the Caprivi region  of the country to a lodge on the banks of the Cubango river which leads into The Okavango Delta forming the so-called "Pan Handle".
 
Day eight: Divundu to Grootfontein 456 kms
With more of the Caprivi region being covered today we get a chance to ride through little rural villages. Discover the real Africa.
     
Day nine: Grootfontein to Etosha 253 kms 
We ride from the Grootfontein area to the Southern gate of Etosha through a predominantly game and cattle farming area of Namibia to reach our lodge just outside the Southern Gate of Etosha.
 
Day ten: Etosha
A day spent in Etosha will always be a memorable day with another chance of spotting any of the big game including almost all of the bird species Namibia has to offer. Today is a guided game day in the safari jeep spending all day in Etosha looking for that great wildlife picture.
 
Day eleven: Etosha to Windhoek 317 kms 
Our last day of riding takes us to one of the largest craft markets in Namibia for some souvenir shopping and then off to Windhoek.
 
Day twelve:
Relax and prepare for the farewell African dinner

Day thirteen:
Today we head to the airport to fly home with a bag full of memories.
Not ready to go home, the we can arrange extra activities, speak to one of the RAMS Adventures Team
