The Kalahari 5-day MTB Traverse – prepare yourself for a mountain bike journey through the spellbinding wonders of the Kalahari. Brace yourself for an extraordinary encounter with the untamed beauty of this remarkable landscape, where saltpans, black rock koppies, and fiery red sand dunes await your exploration. Experience the arid riverbeds under the vast expanse of open skies, while the majestic flat-topped acacia trees stand as iconic symbols of this awe-inspiring route.
Immerse yourself in the captivating world of the Kalahari, where the Kalahari Meerkat and the mesmerizing Vulture Restaurants await your discovery. Witness a symphony of vibrant birdlife and encounter a diverse array of wildlife.
But that’s not all! Prepare to embark on an exhilarating cycling adventure to the legendary Kalahari Lost City, pedalling across a magnificent salt pan. Each day, you’ll pedal to a new Game lodge, where you’ll witness the breathtaking sunset over the shimmering salt pans after an unforgettable Game drive, all while savouring a refreshing sundowner.
