Ep.5 | Spectacular desert mountain bike trails | Beyond the Desert Edge 2018 | Peter van Kets

This expedition was the first in a series of five Beyond Expeditions with Jacques Marais. The idea was to mountain bike the edge of the incredible Namib Desert from Serra Cafema on the Angolan border to Swakopmund along the coast of Namibia.
We are moving away from the Palmwag Concession where the terrain becomes quite rocky, and we get ready for a challenging ride. The closer we get to the Skeleton Coast the cooler it gets. The scenery from this part of the expedition is spectacular and some of the best mountain biking in the world.

The main purpose behind the expedition, besides just really wanting to do the ride, was to raise funds for and awareness of ‘Children in the Wilderness’ an NPO that deals with children that are born in wilderness areas that have to coexist with dangerous game. There is massive human/wildlife conflict in these areas and CITW teaches these children sustainable symbiotic solutions for conservation. They also focus on teaching the children to love their natural environment.
