We have found the most stunning places to rest after a long day of riding through Namibian landscapes on our Cape to Namibia tour.

This is one of our faves! Nothing beats having a cold beer and watching the sun set over the Orange River.

Meet Mike! One of our Trusted Adventurous Guides who loves showing people the wonders of sub-Saharan Africa on a motorbike. This is what he has to say about being a guide:

"What I love about Ride Down South tours is that every trip is an adventure. Each time I do the Cape Town to Vic Falls, for example, it is a unique adventure because of the people on the tour with me – they make it unique. We may be riding the same route, but the scenery is never the same, it changes all the time. It is always something new, something different. There is always something to discover along the way and we meet some really fantastic people – always open and friendly. I also love the deep appreciation of our guests – as we ride through desert landscapes or lush winelands. The best thing about this job is seeing riders absolutely LOVING where they are on this epic African adventure."

Come ride with us!

The Cape Town to Vic Falls trip is currently underway! One of our most popular tours that takes riders from lush coastlines and beautiful winelands through the arid Karoo to the breathtaking deserts of the Namib. This is right at the start of the tour - along the stunning coast of Clarence Drive as we head for the Cederberg mountain area. Mike, trusted and adventurous Ride Down South guide, and the five riders who set off last week.

We have spaces on a few upcoming tours like this one - or Cape Town to Kruger National Park too!
