Before you ride.
Provisional minimum riding age: 18, subject to final operator and insurance approval. You need a valid motorcycle driving licence appropriate for the CFMOTO 450MT’s engine capacity. International driving documentation and insurance eligibility must be checked before a tour is confirmed.
The four-day tour offers a gentler introduction to touring, but is not a learn-to-ride course. Intermediate and longer tours require confidence on loose gravel. Tell us about your experience so we can assess suitability together.
Bring or arrange an appropriate helmet, protective jacket and trousers, gloves and motorcycle boots. Check that your own travel insurance covers the planned motorcycle activities, medical treatment and evacuation. No insurance coverage or access permission is guaranteed by this website.
YOUR PARTNER ON THE GRAVEL
The CFMOTO
450MT.
Our fleet is chosen for the riding we love: open roads, gravel and days that leave you smiling. An upright riding position and approachable character make the 450MT a natural fit for a supported Namibian adventure.
We carry your main luggage in the support vehicle, so you can focus on the road. Bike setup and a familiarisation briefing are part of the start of your tour.
