Even goats need to fill up 😂

One of our riders caught this thirsty moment in Botswana on a recent tour from Cape Town to Victoria Falls.

Do you need some room to breathe? Get away from it all?

Join us on one of our rides - they all have plenty of these kinds of road where it is just you (and the crew) and wide open spaces.

Email andrew@ridedownsouth.com for more information.

Spitzkoppen! The Namib Desert is home to one of Africa`s most stunning rock formations. Bald granite peaks that reach heights of 1728m! We stop here on route from Cape Town, South Africa, to Windhoek, Namibia. It is always a win with our riders. And we never get tired of this raw and striking beauty in the middle of a desert either.
