I just read this from the World of BMW website under their ‘next years tours’ section:

Q: Which of the far-away tours are set to run in 2010?

RH: The magnificent Discover South Africa tour sold out very quickly this year and we will definitely be running it again in 2010 with a similar itinerary. Customers were attracted to the spectacular scenery, fantastic food and the visit to the Private five star game lodge and the chance to see the big five. At this stage, however, we are not sure if we will be running one or two trips to South Africa in 2010.

The Moroccan Desert Experience will also take place again next year with more of an emphasis on nice hotels, swimming pools, and spas also with lower mileages. It is suitable for couples or solos on touring bikes.

I think I get the idea of who are the market for these tours. It won’t be long before they forget the motorbikes altogether and just get a bunch of affluent mature Brits to lunge from one luxury hotel pool to the next.
