Riding Techniques, Road Safety

The safety of the riders is the primary consideration of Dusty Helmets.  For riders with little experience in off-road riding, we provide training at the beginning of the safari that will give riders the basics for riding safely off-road.  We also avoid the main highways and only do short sections of tarmac when required.    All trips start with a brief on the mandatory safety rules that riders must comply with.

For safe riding, it's mandatory to wear riding gear which includes helmets, goggles, gloves, body armours, riding pants and shirts, camel baks, and boots.

While on the longer safaris, Dusty Helmets will have a backup vehicle carrying fuel, water, spares, and a spare motorbike.  Dusty Helmets also contracts for each rider an Emergency medical airlift evacuation insurance with the renowned Flying Doctors.

While on safari, we provide a backup vehicle carrying fuel, water, and spares, and we also always have a spare motorbike. Inclusive of our services is the world-renowned Flying Doctors services. (Emergency medical airlift evacuation).
