haha...that would take some doing! I like the idea...

The guys who ride Namibia tend to be lonewolves or in very small packs

It would be interesting to form a loose route & see who you can meet up with in the evenings associated with the ride? Don't know if i'd want to ride in a "big" group...big being relative of course.
I want the sense of solitude and open spaces that i 'own' for the moment to.

Most guys can only do it in December anyway...

yip agree with Pete

and you need time to do Namibia....the last thing you want to do is rush it...

Without 'jumping the gun'

the idea will rather be to gather on the Namibian side of the border than actually traversing the country.
There's some awesome riding in the immediate area - Gamchab canyon, Fish River Canyon, River road to ROsh Pinah and even the Richtersveld with a crossing at Sendelings drift.

Could someone please tell me what documents, other than Passport, are required to enter Namibia and are any copies accepted?

Thanks Ian

Passport, ZA sticker, Insurance clearance letter, vehicle finance clearance letter (if the bank still owns your bike)

And a map

What paperwork does one need? can I cross the border with a learner's licence, or do I have to go and play nice with the traffic cops one day? riding two-up is not going to be an option for a while, it seems.
