South Africa and Namibia Sand Route in May 2025

South Africa and Namibia Sand Route in May 2025

The tentative plans are to start in South Africa in May riding the Sand Route https://bikepacking.com/routes/sand-s1/.  The plan would be to generally follow the Sand Route with possible detours to parks and other interesting places.  I prefer wild camping when possible.   After finishing the Sand Route in Namibia I will look at continuing to Botswana and further. 

Last year I cycled the length of South America.  Most trips I take end up 3 to 6 months in West Africa, Southeast Asia and many trips through Europe.  Not having a return ticket until needed is nice as there is no set schedule. 

I ride 60 to 70k when the roads and hills are good.  When food and the need for water drive me on I do 100k+ days.  Hills and other challenges I learned to enjoy and wonder which local god is having fun with me.
