African Adventure
No place in the world conjures the adventuring image better than the Cradle of Mankind. Join GlobeRiders on a unique 37-day journey through the vast and varied lands of southern Africa! And, not just South Africa. The African Adventure begins and ends in Cape Town, South Africa, making a counter-clockwise loop through Lesotho, Swaziland, Botswana, Zambia, and Namibia.
Although the Africa Adventure is now being offered for the third time, the 2009 Adventure will not be a simple cookie-cutter of previous tours. Each tour is unique, with changes and revisions being made from year to year.

Notes |
| To participate in this Adventure, you must be both experienced and comfortable riding in crowded urban traffic, and relatively long distances on roads with varying surface conditions on a fully loaded motorcycle. The last 1/3 of the tour is on salt and gravel roads in Namibia. You should own a rough-terrain capable "dual-purpose" type motorcycle, with sturdy, lockable panniers or saddlebags and an approved handlebar-mounted portable Garmin GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver. |
