6 day Namibian Mountain Bike Safari

Days 1 & 2: Save the Rhino Camp, Ugab

After arrival in Windhoek, we are met by our guides and drive to the stunning monolith of Brandberg, on the banks of the Ugab River. We enjoy a warm-up ride of 40kms to the Save the Rhino campsite, our Adventurer campsite that is pre-erected under the shade of immense Acacia trees.

On Day 2 of this Namibia tour, we ride to the old zinc mine, enjoying steep climbs, thrilling down hills and exhilarating challenges the route presents. Our afternoon is spent relaxing at the camp and exploring the Ugab Riverbed.

Day 3: Damaraland Camp, Damaraland

On day 3 of this Namibia tour we embark on the longest stage – a route of 90km through changing habitats to Damaraland Camp. This also creates a wonderful opportunity to find Elephant and Rhino on the tracks, as well as view oryx, springbuck and giraffe.

Day 4: Palmwag Campsite, Damaraland

Damaraland has a desolate, volcanic landscape with small rock-strewn plains where glaciers once moved. Our 80km ride traverses this incredible panorama and is the heart of black rhino country, creating a challenging but highly rewarding ride.

Day 5: Palmwag Rhino Camp, Damaraland

After a short exciting ride of 40 km through rhino country, we then enjoy an afternoon tracking rhino on foot with the specialist Save the Rhino trackers. We end with a sunset drinks, taking in the absolute and isolated (of humans) beauty of Damaraland.
