About this film
Part of the Southern Africa series, this 23-minute film is centred on riding rather than a review or workshop project. The creator describes this as her favourite riding in Namibia so far, with the desert landscapes providing the main focus. The episode pairs that account of the ride with wildlife seen during the morning, giving the journey both a broad landscape perspective and a close encounter along the way.
The journey
The route takes the rider through a substantial stretch of the Namib Desert. The description emphasizes the vastness of the surroundings and the distinctive impression they make from the motorcycle. During the morning, several oryx appear and accompany the ride for a time. These details keep the story grounded in the experience of travelling through the desert: the changing view across a wide landscape, and animals encountered on the way. The film is presented as episode 45 of Season 5, Southern Africa.
