Riding through Namibia, South Africa, Botswana and Zambia
We are warming up to our RTW expedition starting in December. We planned this for 3 years, we saved a good part of our budget and we are ready to go.
My wife and I rode through the four countries on a 16.000 km tour on our Yamaha Super Tenere. The bike performed admirably so far. We had close calls with elephants in Botswana and Zambia (why don't they like motorbikes is beyond me!) but overall it was a hoot! Camping in the bush under the stars, visiting villages of Bushmen and many other tribes and we also tried our equipment to make sure everything works ok.
