This is the daily blog from Africa4Adventure.com, in particular a short series on the Botswana and Zimbabwe - Giraffe Motorbike tour we attended during July 2011. Check out the original
plans and route for the trip here.
We had a mad dash to Bulawayo since we had left quite late and had to make it before sundown. As a group we only ever stopped about three times in the 450km, which was pushing it a bit. Below are pretty much some of the only pictures we managed to get when we stopped twice at one garage (where we saw old trains) and some other quick stops I made so as not to miss some of true Africa.
More South and
Southern African motor cycle tours on our list of tour route summaries are available, where we explore these sorts of
motorcycle tour routes. Just choose one of our
events and
reserve yourself a place on one of the future motorcycle adventure safari events.
