Nairobi, Kenya to Cape Town, South Africa
|
| Beginning with our Out of Africa Adventure for 2012, guests may opt for a 4-wheel "Safari Style" vehicle in lieu of a motorcycle. Guests are provided the option of securing a vehicle which they may drive themselves, they may share a vehicle with other guests, or they may ride in the 4-wheeled vehicle chauffeured by one of our tour leaders. Riders now have the option to permit non-riding companions or family members to share this unique African experience. Details regarding vehicle selection and pricing options will be posted soon. In the meantime, for additional information contact Ron Ayres at 214-770-1240. |
The Out of Affrica Adventure is one of the most unique and all-encompassing African experiences that we offer. Spend 22 days riding 7,000 kilometers (4,300 miles) through six Southern African countries - enjoying premium level accommodations, meals, attractions, and support services the entire way. The Adventure begins in Nairobi, Kenya and ends is Cape Town, South Africa – one of the world’s most beautiful cities. A collection of world-class, once-in-a-lifetime African experiences has been incorporated into this amazing journey:
- Two nights in the Serengeti, including a 4x4 safari at the world famous Ngorongoro Crater
- Two nights in Botswana's Chobe National Park, including a game drive by 4x4
- An overnight stay at Victoria Falls, including a tour of the Falls
- Wildlife cruise on the Chobe River, teeming with elephant, hippo, giraffe, and numerous other wildlife species
- Three nights (two locations) on the shores of Lake Malawi (Africa’s third largest lake, and the eigth largest lake in the world)
- South Africa’s Swartberg Mountains, including the Swartberg Pass
- The final evening in a luxury hotel on Cape Town's Waterfront
This premium-level Adventure is especially suitable for experienced two-up riders. A comfortable support vehicle will be available for non-riding companions (or "sometimes" riding companions) as well as a trailer for transporting luggage and a spare motorcycle. |
