Royal Enfield Interceptor 650

I had a mixed experience with the rental shop. One staff member was amazing, really helpful, and quick to respond when I was on route. However, the owner was hard to work with and insisted on certain tires that ended up being detrimental to my trip. The motorbike was said to be just serviced and well maintained, but the battery light came on the second day and the oil level was below minimum from the start. The motorbike model is great but must be well maintained. I would steer away from the owner if you can.

If you're thinking of doing a more adventurous ride, the rental shop is a great choice. There is so much to see and do in Namibia - almost too much! I'll be back again soon to do a different route. I went north up, to Ugab Terrace Lodge overlooking Vingerklip, and then Palmwag Lodge (one of my favourites in Africa). The Himalayan handled the gravel roads, occasional sand, and the climb up to the Terrace Lodge with no problems - actually really surprisingly good for a 25bhp motorbike. I saw lots of wildlife, including an ellie, sable, and a jackal. I then went west through the Namib, riding through dunes and a bit of deep sand (no problem) to the Skeleton Coast road. I stayed at Henties, Swakopmund, and Walvis Bay before riding back to Windhoek. Excellent service and support throughout. As I'm used to travelling in southern Africa, I just did a solo trip, with a mostly unplanned itinerary. For novices, the organised tours would be a good start. I think they also carry luggage, fuel, and spares in a Hilux, so that makes the riding easier. I had hoped for a Himalayan 450, but their arrival in Namibia was delayed, so I just took a 411. The motorbike was in good condition, and thoroughly checked over before I went. I got panniers and extra fuel cans (needed on the Skeleton Coast). We communicated via Whatsapp during the trip, so I could update them on progress. The only problem I had was caused by some unusual weather. Riding into a strong headwind, up the climb from the coast, heavily loaded, was very slow. The 450 would have been much better. But I got there in the end.

The organized motorcycle trip through Namibia, which I had the pleasure of organizing for a group of Polish motorcyclists, would likely have been quite a challenge if not for the high level of professionalism of the event's local partner - the rental shop. Their team prepared a meticulously crafted program for us, provided reliable Royal Enfield Himalayan 411 motorcycles, provided logistical support backstage at the office, and provided full professional care from a local guide and the best motorcycle mechanic I've met in Africa. The team accompanied and supported us 24/7. Working with such a professional partner guarantees safety and success in completing a demanding motorcycle trip in Africa. I highly recommend the rental shop as a Partner for any trip to Namibia.

I took part in a motorcycle tour, Skeleton Coast, I chose the rental shop because of the easy Royal Enfield motorbikes. Very good choice, motorbikes are in very good condition, easy and perfect for gravel Namibian roads. The staff was always available to manage details, I drove with a guide who helped me explain how to cross some difficult parts of the road. There was also a mechanic with a 4x4 carrying all luggage and solving problems if needed. I always felt supported at any time! Lodges chosen were fantastic, like cuisine and landscape. If you follow their instructions, you could drive safely and enjoy a lot! Some guys that didn't follow instructions had problems, fell down and had an unpleasant experience. In the future I would like to try the longest trip!
