Is anyone else going on the Africa Unlimited Safaris “Highlights of Namibia” organised tour starting from Windhoek on 7th July 2006 (leaving the UK 6th July) or do you fancy joining me?
It’s the organised 13 day ride around Namibia run by http://www.africansafaris.co.za/motorcycletours.html
It’s the same one listed as “BMW Motorcycle tour Highlights of Namibia” at http://www.africaguide.com/travel/index.php?cmd=5&pid=1190&client_currency=GBP
But I’ve booked mine through a UK agent called The Mighty Fine Company http://www.mightyfinecompany.com/holiday_details.asp?HolidayID=121
If you are, you might want to consider doing what I’ve done with the flights as it worked out cheaper. I’ve booked the flights to fly out one day earlier (5th July) and fly back one day later (20th July). I know this sounds mad but doing that has meant that even with paying for two extra days in a hotel, I’ve got direct flights to Windhoek and back to London and still saved enough money to offset my upgrade from the F650GS they give you as a standard part of the package to the R1200GS.
If you’ve already booked or you fancy coming and want the details of the cheaper flights etc let me know and I’ll give you the flight numbers etc or put you in touch with the lady who helped me sort it all out.
P.S. Namibia will be a new place (as is all of Southern Africa). Has anyone who’s been there before got any tips? The route I’m doing takes in Windhoek, Swakopmund, Twyfelfontein, Sesfontein, Kamanjab, Etosha, Otjiwarongo etc and any hints on what to look for or maybe even avoid would be welcome.
