First ever trip on a motorbike..
Hi Guys (and Gals!) my friend and I are planning to do our first Adventure Tour into Southern Africa next year. We've never been to Africa before, and only got our motorcycle licenses around 5 weeks ago. We're both mid-forties, so better late than never I guess.
I wanted to ask if anyone has any advice to share on our trip? We are planning to fly from Australia to Cape Town SA. Hire some bikes and ride through Namibia, Botswana, and either Zambia or Zimbabwe up to Victoria Falls and then back again to CT.
I was looking at possibly May or June as the time to go, and we were going to allow 3 weeks for the trip.
Would love to hear from those who have done it, or live there; have we allocated enough time? Is that a good time of year to go? Im guessing that South Africa's climate isnt radically different from Australia at the same time of year.
I've been looking at these guys to hire the bikes; Motorcycle Hire in South Africa with Karoo Biking - Motorbike Rentals/Hire but I'm open to suggestions too.
Thanks,
Scott.
