This tour will make you live a wonderful motorcycle experience in Botswana, a unique and unforgettable Country that is a dream for many travellers and moto-tourists. A trail that combines the joy of a motorcycle tour and the emotions of game viewing in Botswana national parks and exploration of real wilderness trails.

The unique characteristic of this Safari is to include several different ways to live your African adventure: On top of the motorcycle routes, that mainly take place on tarmac roads to allow everybody to enjoy the beauty of this travel experience, you will enjoy 4×4 safaris, Boat river safaris on the Chobe river, a short Walking Safari in Livingstone trekking the last remaining white rhinos and even a Quad bike adventure in the Makghadighadi desert. All to allow participants to taste what it means to live a real African Adventure! Moreover, you will experience the beauty of the Victoria Falls, one of the seven wanders of the world, and the possibility to spend a whole day on the Okavango Delta

Motorcycles and assistance included in the organization:
We will be using our “Big five” motorcycles, reliable Honda Transalp 600cc completely refurbished and properly equipped for on- and off-road stretches.

The group will be led by a motorcycle-riding professional guide and will be followed by a 4×4 support vehicle that will offer assistance, carry all luggage and camping gear, as well as motorcycle passengers who might decide to “take it easy” for a day or two.
