Ride Namibia with Dan Craven — Gravel Like Nowhere Else

We’re working on something truly special — a brand-new RAID adventure across the vast, untamed beauty of Namibia, guided by none other than local cycling legend Dan Craven. This will be a journey through striking desert landscapes, endless gravel roads, and remote backcountry terrain, all delivered with the premium support, hospitality, and attention to detail you expect from RAID.

We’re lining things up for 2027, with final dates still to be confirmed — but you can count on them falling in the prime riding season between June and August 2027, when Namibia offers mild daytime temperatures, clear skies, and ideal gravel conditions.

VAST

Extending beyond the limits of perception, encompassing boundless expanses that evoke a sense of awe and wonder.

Sometimes, it appears people travel simply for the novelty of it, seeking out far-off and unusual destinations. Yet, Namibia defies this trend. Namibia epitomizes travel in search of boundless expanses. It's a place that satisfies the genuine adventurer, presenting trials beyond conventional travel. RAID's voyage through Namibia's northern frontier symbolizes the apex of ten years committed to exploring, shaping, and navigating through the most isolated corners of the globe.

Namibia is a feast for the senses, with otherworldly landscapes, jaw-dropping wildlife, and beautiful luxury lodges. Only in Namibia can watching a single elephant be far more powerful than witnessing an entire herd, and can staring out at a sea of sand feel like a religious experience. That's partially thanks to the otherworldly landscapes, which elevate every wildlife sighting and outing to supernatural status. Jagged mountains rising purple and blue behind his approaching and growing silhouette but Namibia is arguably about quality over quantity, and colors so wild you almost don't believe your eyes.

*Non-riding partners are warmly welcomed on this trip. It's recommended that they bring a sense of adventure to fully embrace the experience. Please feel free to contact us to discuss this option further.
