Africa Call of the Wild

"Official Travel Partner of BMW Motorrad"

The Call of the Wild Adventure is the component of our African Trilogy with the greatest focus on observing Africa’s wildlife. This is the only African motoryclce tour that combines motorcycle touring with luxury game lodges to offer an "in-depth" experience with the continent's incredible wildlife. The Adventure begins in Sandton, South Africa (suburban Johannesburg) and continues through Botswana and Namibia, with a side trip to Victoria Falls in Zambia. The trip ends in Namibia's capital city of Windhoek.

Features of the trip include:

Nearly all accommodations in luxury game lodges (several 5-Star lodges and hotels) in South Africa, Botswana and Namibia. (All accommodations, including luxury tented lodges, include full private "ensuite" bath facilities)
Numerous game drives in 4-wheeled safari vehicles to see Africa's "Big Five" (lion, rhino, leopard, cape buffalo, and elephant) - as well as a wide variety of other wildlife
A free day in Kasane, Botswana, providing ample time for a day ride to Vicotria Falls in Zambia. The stay also includes a river cruise on the Chobe River and opportunites to do game drives in Chobe National Park
Three nights at a luxury lodge in Namibia's famed Etosha National Park, where guests may use their own 4-wheeled vehicles to go on their own daily game drives.

Jamie Elvidge, editor of Motorcycle Escape Magazine described the Call of the Wild as "the coolest way to ride a motorcycle from one safari to another."

The route is entirely paved, primarily straight roads. A major feature of this Adventure is the extensive wildlife viewing that takes place during the many game drives and river cruise in the major game parks, especially in Botswana and Namibia. Many game sightings will also occur from the seat of the motorcycle on Botswana's and Namibia's national highways.
