About the tour

Hello and welcome to the RMB Namibia Ride for Rhinos!

We are so glad that you could join us on this amazing adventure into the Namibian wilderness!

The goal of this tour is not only to raise funds for Save the Rhino Trust Namibia, IRDNC and Children in the Wilderness, but also to raise awareness about their efforts and difficulties. These entities operate in a remote, rugged area of more than a million hectares – with few fences, no national park status and no controls over who goes in or out. Over the past thirty years, the rhino population in this region has rebounded from the point of near extinction to a level that all Namibians can be proud of.

Tour 1 takes place from 23 to 27 June 2021, with the 23rd being a 'travel to' day and the 27th a 'travel back' day. Tour 2 takes place from 28 June to 2 July 2021, with the 28th being a 'travel to' day and the 2nd being a 'travel back' day. Riders will make their own way to Damaraland. The group will meet up at Wêreldsend. See directions and map attached. If you are willing to give a fellow rider a lift north or need a lift for yourself and your bicycle, please let the tour organisers know so that everyone does not have to travel all the way by themselves. You can contact Elzanne directly at 081 367 3583 or elzanne@venture.com.na, or have a chat with your fellow riders. Cars will be securely parked at Wêreldsend for the duration of the trip. Arrival time at Wêreldsend is between 15:00 and 17:00 on arrival day. You will be transferred from there to Wilderness Safaris' Desert Rhino Camp. See the packing lists in this information pack for detailed instructions.
