Bicycle Tour

To all bike enthusiast

Can I be a pain in the butt and offer you the following:

For the energetic bike - aholic there can be no better way to explore Namibia than on a bicycle. On the way to your next destination you will become aware that there is no trace of human existence within a hundred miles of you; not a cloud in the sky; a pristine environment; unique landscapes; diverse terrain; experienced guides who know the trails by heart. It's just you, your travelling companions and annoying flies. At the end of your daily ride on the two-wheeled steed the comfort of a tented camp erected in the wilderness for you and your companions will await you and for those who have still some energy left can explore the area on foot. Those whose butt is done for the day can sit on camping chairs and enjoy the softness of it.
The night you will be sleeping under the stars in comfort desert listening to the sounds of Namibia’s nightlife.
