Namibia is the second least populated country on the planet. With its magnificent landscapes, open African sky, unique wildlife and welcoming locals, cycling Namibia is the perfect way to discover this astonishingly beautiful part of Africa. Known for its national parks and wildlife reserves, Namibia offers so much more. Cycling along the Fish River Canyon, for example, the second largest in the world, is a simply breathtaking experience. Or how about a bike safari on a local farm, or cycling past the imposing Brandberg mountain in the Damaraland.
Highlights of cycling Namibia include the desolate Naukluft Mountains and the Spitzkoppe, with its massive granite peaks – a reminder of past German colonization. The thousands of years old artistry created by the bushmen from the time of Twyfelfontein is offer a glimpse into the past, as well as displaying the country’s wealth and depth of culture and history. The advantage of exploring Namibia by bike is that you will be able to not only see but also feel and experience the natural wonders, devoid of the distracting rumblings a 4×4 produces. The specially selected bike trails have been carefully chosen by experts and guides, ensuring maximum enjoyment for the cyclist. Other activities are also part of the agenda, including an interesting hike in the oldest desert in the world, a visit to the mission village of Bethanien and a safari in the Etosha national park.
Whilst cycling Namibia, you will also be given time to put your feet up and simply soak in this wonderful country. Having cycled through the Gondwana Canyon, wondered at the Zebra, ostrich and Sprinbok in their natural environment, you are given the chance to relax with a two night stay at a beautiful lodge located at Fish River canyon. An English speaking tour guide is constantly at hand to assist and answer any questions the cyclists may have. With almost 20 years experience, African Bikers are a qualified team of professionals who also provide constant vehicle backup as well as transport for bikes.
