Glimpses of the world and the incredible places and faces
We decided to create two Instagram accounts so that the travel and motorbike photo material would not be confused. On PikiPiki_Overland_Blog is where you can find all of the road trip photographs.
For all of the everyday and landscape photographs, PikiPiki_Overland_Photography is in charge. Photographs include people, festivals, landscapes, and culture, as well as street photography.
We have launched a Beer & Coffee & Wine Instagram page for the sole purpose of celebrating the brewmasters and baristas of the globe, because they are the individuals who are responsible for bringing some joy into the world.
Incredible and funky things are waiting to be discovered and experienced all across the world, which is a beautiful place. It is my hope that we will be able to stimulate people’s feeling of adventure and travel in order to encourage them to step outside of their comfort zone. In spite of the fact that it is only to go to a location in their own backyard that they have never gone to before.
Storytelling via photography is a potent and intriguing stimulant that has the potential to help stir the soul to active participation.
A cool perks of riding in South Africa and why riding here hits different.
One minute it’s open road, next minute it’s a wall of elephants.
Riding past Addo Elephant National Park and accidentally rolled straight pass a full-scale elephant meeting.
Big. Quiet. Zero interest in motorcycles.
Felt less like a ride and more like a deleted scene from Jurassic Park.

Namibia doesn’t shout.
It drops a stupid size canyon, the Fish River Canyon, and waits for you to catch up on a motorcycle.
The honest stats:
Largest canyon in Africa.
Among the oldest major canyons on Earth.
One of the most raw, unfiltered canyon landscapes you can ride to on a motorcycle.
160 km long.
Up to 550 m deep.
Around 500 million years old.
This place was ancient before dinosaurs, before maps, before anyone thought riding a motorcycle into a desert canyon was a good idea.
Here we are today. Gravel roads, desert heat, big skies, and an adventure bike feeling very small. Exactly as it should be.

Namibia-Endless dirt roads.
Hour after hour of nothing trying to sell you anything.
Namibia slowly removes unnecessary thoughts.
After a few hours you stop planning shit, stop worrying nonsense, and stop asking sensible questions.
No cars. No crowds. No chaos.
Just dirt, time, and that quiet feeling that says: de fuck yes, this is working.
This feels bloody correct.
And that’s mildly alarming or not😅
Could ride this forever.
No clear exit strategy.
Extended dirt exposure recommended.
Results inconclusive.
Long-term testing ongoing.
Repeat anyway.

Swipe- Spitzkoppe.
Not a mountain range. A bunch of bloody groovy granite fists punching straight out of the desert.
These rocks are around 120 million years old.
That’s older than the Himalayas, older than dinosaurs had bad days, and way older than whatever nonsense is stressing you out this week.
The highest peak sits at 1,728 m, but it feels taller because there’s absolutely nothing around it to compare against. No build-up. No warm-up. Just desert… then boom.
This place was used by early humans as shelter, navigation, and canvas.
Rock art here is thousands of years old and still hanging on, unlike most modern gear.
There’s a few campsites around the place and it is next level cool staying at a place as unique as this.

Namibia is not trying to impress you.
It is wide, quiet, and unapologetically empty.
Namibia messes with your head in the best way.
The kind of open space that makes city brains itch. No billboards, no Starbucks stops every ten minutes, no noise telling you what to think next. You’re looking for a beer instead due to the heat😂
To some people it looks empty. Boring. Unsettling.
But that is the point.
Here, you feel properly on your own. The road stretches forever, the silence gets loud, and suddenly you start noticing things you forgot existed.
This is a place where distance becomes real, silence has weight, and you are properly on your own with your thoughts.
It does not shout for attention.
There is plenty to see. You just have to slow down enough to actually see it.

Well, this is a bit wild. Adventure Bike Rider UK moto magazine used one of my photos on the front cover of their Nov/Dec 2025 issue. I honestly didn’t expect to ever see something like this.
Huge thank you to the ABR team for choosing the shot. I’m genuinely chuffed and properly grateful. We’ve taken thousands of photos over the years while riding all over the place, usually covered in dust, tired, hungry, and arguing with the wind. To have one of them end up on a cover like this feels pretty damn special.
So thanks @adventure_bike_rider 😁🤙🏼

Fifteen years apart. Same line on the globe, same two dodgy loafers… slightly more wrinkles on the sign and on us too.
Back in 2010 we rolled up to this Tropic of Capricorn board in Namibia wide-eyed and clueless, pointing our front wheels into Africa with zero idea what we were doing. Last week we found ourselves here again, same spot, different bikes, a few more kilometres under the tyres, and a lot more stories baked into our well worn out boots.
Funny thing is, we’ve crossed this imaginary line more times than we can count now, Namibia, South Africa, Botswana, Argentina, Bolivia… name a place where the Tropic of Capricorn sneaks through, and we’ve probably bumbled over it with sand in our teeth.
But every time we hit it, it’s the same reminder: the world is huge, wild, ridiculous, beautiful, and absolutely worth getting lost in again and again.
Here’s to another fifteen years of chasing dusty lines across maps.
PS: Hopefully @namibiatourismboard can get whoever is responsible to clean up the boards😉

Adventure: when your plan goes to hell and you still call it fun.”
Your face is covered with dust, sand in your socks, and a goat staring at you like you owe it rent.
This is what we think off as the good life.
Motorcycle travel isn’t glamorous at all, well, that’s if you can afford 5 star pamper hotels.
It’s pretty fucking real. It’s duct tape, dodgy fuel, and instant coffee that tastes like burnt electrical wires.
But damn, when you crest that hill and see a mountain like this, everything makes sense again.👌🏼😄
