This ride combines the best of both the formidable Skeleton Coast and rugged Damaraland, with undulating, rocky landscapes and huge open plains. You’ll start from the coast and venture into the remote western Damaraland and back onto the wild Atlantic beaches. This is a riding trip for the true adventurous spirit.
Arrive at Walvis Bay airport, transfer to a hotel in Swakopmund for sundowners and dinner with your guide.
Depart Swakopmund to a lunch spot on the Skeleton Coast, with a visit to the lichen fields and a shipwreck en-route. After lunch in camp, saddle up and ride to the first overnight camp.
There is an easy rhythm to camp life with memorable evenings around the campfire, making new friends, sleeping under the stars. This is a little bit of heaven on Earth. From the Ugab River to Leeuwkop in this landscape of undulating, multicolored geology. The terrain allows for some of the best going anywhere on the planet – so expect lots of fast riding! Descend into the lower reaches of the Ugab river before reaching the lichen-covered coastal plains of the Skeleton Coast.
After a final day of riding, spend tonight in a luxury beach house.
Transfer to Windoek International Airport for flights around 3:00pm.
