Great countries! Riding up to the Kaokoveld to Opuwo isn't too difficult, but west and north-west fom there terrain gets more and more difficult, albeit very rewarding. What few people visit is the west rim of Fish River canyon. There is a beautiful lodge situated right on the canyon rim about 100 km south of the road going to Luderitz.
Lesotho is lovely - very rugged. So different from Oz. The rides I enjoyed there most were from Butha-Buthe past Katse Dam south-eastwards, the trip along the eastern border (don't miss Sani Pass), the central road going east-west, the ride from Quachas Neck to Tele Bridge.
Namibia plus this will probably be more than enough for four weeks. But if time is left, the area just south of Lesotho in the Eastern Cape is brilliant as well (Naude's Neck Pass) or further in the direction of Cape Town the Swartberg Pass with a detour into the De Hel valley.
Enjoy!
