5 Guys, 5 motorbikes and Africa calling us

5 adventurous and a little crazy guys decide to tour Namibia SW Africa on their bikes. Now after 3500 kms and lots of pics we have finally done it, what with a sore butt and total admiration for the Himba tribe the results i will publish here. So, bear with me while i build this travelogue of Namibia and the Himba's.


Wow Another one ??
