This is a country where you can ride motorcycles for days without seeing another person. In a remote wilderness far from the modern world, things we’d usually take for granted take on a different meaning. Enjoyable, freshly cooked meals eaten under the stars. A roadside stop in the deep shade of an Acacia tree, a beer with friends round a campfire after a day in the desert.  # [![Elephant-Experience-Namibia.jpg](https://www.rideadv.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Elephant-Experience-Namibia.jpg?width=601&height=401&name=Elephant-Experience-Namibia.jpg "Elephant-Experience-Namibia.jpg")](https://www.rideadv.com/tours-by-type/dual-sport-motorcycle-adventure-tours/the-southern-africa-experience-namibia?hsLang=en-us) # Etosha National Park  Stand at the edge of this 22000 km sq ancient lake and see the curvature of the earth, plus an amazing variety of wildlife, Lion, Hyena, Elephant and much more.. # [![Adventure-Dune-45-Sossusvlei-Namibia-BWSS03.jpg](https://www.rideadv.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Adventure-Dune-45-Sossusvlei-Namibia-BWSS03.jpg?width=601&height=401&name=Adventure-Dune-45-Sossusvlei-Namibia-BWSS03.jpg "Adventure-Dune-45-Sossusvlei-Namibia-BWSS03.jpg")](https://www.rideadv.com/tours-by-type/dual-sport-motorcycle-adventure-tours/the-southern-africa-experience-namibia?hsLang=en-us) # Damaraland Harsh moon like vistas, profound silence, incredible starry skies and a geological wonderland are the order of the day here. This is home to the country’s famous desert-adapted elephants, black rhino, and a few isolated communities. # [![sossusvlei_camelthorn.jpg](https://www.rideadv.com/hs-fs/hubfs/sossusvlei_camelthorn.jpg?width=601&height=451&name=sossusvlei_camelthorn.jpg "sossusvlei_camelthorn.jpg")](https://www.rideadv.com/tours-by-type/dual-sport-motorcycle-adventure-tours/the-southern-africa-experience-namibia?hsLang=en-us) # Sossusvlei The world’s highest dunes tower against the azure blue of the sky and from the top, views of the iron rich red sands extend to the horizon. # [![BMW-R1200GS-Adventure-Namibia.jpg](https://www.rideadv.com/hs-fs/hubfs/BMW-R1200GS-Adventure-Namibia.jpg?width=352&name=BMW-R1200GS-Adventure-Namibia.jpg "BMW-R1200GS-Adventure-Namibia.jpg")](https://www.rideadv.com/tours-by-type/dual-sport-motorcycle-adventure-tours/the-southern-africa-experience-namibia?hsLang=en-us) # The Namib Naukluft Desert Covering almost 50,000km², it is one of  the largest conservation areas in Africa and guards one of the oldest deserts on earth. The Namib is all about breathtaking scenery on a grand scale, isolation, unnerving silence, other-wordly plants and animals.
