Start in Windhoek
Pick up your enduro in Namibia's capital, run last errands amid the city's bustle and settle into the offroad adventure ahead, before heading out into the bush the next morning for the first gravel leg.
Artists' town Omaruru
Ride gravel roads through mountain and farmland to the centre of Namibian artists, where the Franke Tower still recalls German colonial rule and the 1904 Herero uprising, near the Omaruru River.
Etosha National Park
A full-day game drive by open safari vehicle through one of Africa's best reserves, with springbok, zebra and giraffe, and with some luck elephant, lion, cheetah and rhino to spot along the way.
Twyfelfontein engravings
Visit the Twyfelfontein UNESCO World Heritage Site in Damaraland: rock engravings cut into the stone over 2,000 years ago, standing in territory that desert-adapted elephants also roam.
Nights by the fire
Camp in the Namib Desert, sit by the fire and take in the clear view of the Southern Cross overhead, with comfortable lodges also on offer along the route for those who prefer them.
