Victoria Falls to Cape Town with Charley Boorman!
The Smoke that ThundersJoin us on this epic, nearly 5.000km (3.000m +), 16 day adventure from “Africa’s Fairest Cape” to the “Smoke That Thunders”, a journey through some of the world’s most beautiful scenery, meeting some of the friendliest people and riding some of the best tracks.

We are very excited to be able to announce that we have joined forces with the well known motorbike adventurer Charley Boorman ("Long Way Down", "By Any Means" etc... fame!) and he will be on the tours to guide and assist you plus recount some of his endless experiences had while travelling the world on his BMW with Ewan McGregor.

Ross Noble Charley is a great guy to travel with – and let’s face it he’s done a fair bit.

Ross Noble has also decided to stay on and join us all for dinner on the 4th September. Between the 2 of them it will be a hilariously entertaining evening and a great way to start your adventure.

This will be a biketrip of a lifetime!

All our BMW R1200 GS's come equipped with a Garmin Zumo 660 GPS installed with our daily routes in Tracks4Africa software and Mitas dual purpose tyresHe is aided by our other experienced guides, and you will ride top of the line BMW R1200 GS motorcycles and stay in great accommodation including a couple of nights in more local places so you get even more of an insight into the country and their culture. Along the way you will have plenty of opportunities to take part in optional activities such as game viewing, helicopter and fixed wing flights, sun downer drives and cruises not to mention the multitude of adrenalin activities awaiting you on arrival at the Victoria Falls.

Treat yourself to the best! This adventure is suitable for all types of riders although some off road experience is recommended, especially for those considering bringing a pillion. We have included a two day training course at the “BMW Off Road Skills” school in Wales where Si Pavey (of 7-times Dakar-legend-fame) and his staff, will be giving you the best tuition and advise possible to maximise to the full your adventure with us.
