Is Etosha National Park still worth it? How to make it better | Day 1 of 5
Is Etosha National Park still worth it? How to make it better #Namibia
In this video I spend my first day of five inside Etosha National Park to ultimately determine if it is still worth it. We camp at the Gondwana Etosha Safari Camp and do a trip into the park. I share some info on Okaukuejo camp and then we head to Aus waterhole in search of lions. What we find there is extra special as an elephant cow ends up chasing two male lions around.

sir why you didnt tell me about the other towns that are in namibia when you coming from south africa. You did hide towns like Mariental after Keetmanshoop and kakstrand n Rohobot. No more coming to your country driving never is too far next time will use fleight
Dit is regtig n baie mooi en lekker plek om te gaan en ontspan was ook al daar
Nice presentation. Thank you for an other excellent video. Seeing this video I remember my visit from a year ago
Worked in Winhoek some 32years ago and once made a trip with the some local young people with the bus to cape town and back. yeah long drive. Nice to see this ride again.
Hey Nick, Ek wil graag net noem eks gaande oor jou "Contect" en jou sin vir humor. Ek gaan viseeker my opkomende "Nam" Trip om jou video's maak.
Thanks for the video Nick! When can we expect day 2?
Loving your videos, they are fun to watch!
Great video, thanks
Now early November 24, there are finally graders in Etosha, stating on the main road to Halali. There is hope in sight
That is very good to hear..
There is another restcamp to the west of Okondeka waterhole, but it is not shown on any of the maps??
Yes, you are talking about Olifantsrus. The camping only camp.
Having seen Itchy Boots and her youtuvbe channel going to see the stinking seals at Cape cross thought Id use a spare day in Swakopmund to also go to Cape Cross. Drive past a German town where literally all German nationals live then onto Cape Cross. Its deserted and literally people and pretty much car free. Couple times needed to stop and just breathe as it was so empty. Got to Cape Cross and spent while with the stinking seals...Drive back easier. I half wanted to drive further laong the coast but was solo driving . Nick is a braver man than me. Having said that Im back in Swakomund in January so maybe maybe
haha, the drive up to Torra Bay is straight forward. Only in the rainy season might there be some issues with rivers coming down. And there will always people to assist if you run into trouble. Go for it when you are back in Jan💪
Was in Deadvlei and Sossusvlei for my 60th birthday. In some very upscale but small hotel. Couldnt have made a better choice.
it is a beautiful place
Been twice. And going back in late January. Always enjoyed my times there.
Great video. please make more, especially a round trip to Etosha, Moremi, Okavango, and the Kalahari.
Best overland video channel I've come across, we are busy planning our Nam trip and all our 'notes' is from your video, like you say, all the other channels just aim to 'gain sponsors' and normal people cant afford any of the gear or vehicles they claim you 'need'. Sad that you feel its a failure, maybe not 54 countries but luckily you started in the South so happy that you covered the areas we can reach from SA! thanks for your videos, certainly very far from a failure, something to be very very proud of Nic!
Thank you for the message Albert. Much appreciated and I will be back in 2025. The whole experience has made me stronger and more determined to succeed🙂
At least you gave youreelf 10trs for it so plenty time to still catch up!
Awesome! Will do
bro thanks for your videos i book at viooldrilf lodge whereby you slept when you were coming from cape town. Next week coming to namibia
Enjoy Namibia🇳🇦
@NickfrNamibia buddy i did enjoyed to be in your country but the network of your country is crazy thats the only problem i had experience
A great many of us, happy to see you and Frank back on the happy roads of Namibia.
nice music
Thanks for the great vid Nick. Glad you are back. What gear (camera,lense,mic etc) are you currently using?
Recently upgraded to the Canon R8, Rode video mic pro with my older EF lenses. Sigma 18-35mm art and 150-600mm lenses.
@@NickfrNamibia Thanks Nick
Good to see you back and making vids Mr 5210. Last two times in Etosha I was suprised by how few animal sightings there were and even more the road conditions. Returned to my air bnb in Otjiwarango to find I had a slow puncture and also a cracked rim. Im currently in planning stages for a Namibia trip in late Jan but might just give Etosha a miss this time.
yeah the roads are a bit rough at the moment...unfortunately
The ferry is at Luanginga river of Kalabo in Western Province.
I believe there is a bridge now at Kalabo...
.
Whats the model of your GO PRO camera?
@@sundiekaira9873 i have a 8 and a 10. 10 inside the car. 8 outside
keep trucking Nick
Thanks buddy😁
Very cool. Thanks for sharing. You would love the southwest of the United States. Some pretty epic deserts.
Is Afrikaans the language you grew up speaking?
yes it is
That was very touching to me. It looks like such a harsh environment for even hardiest animals. I wonder what befell the Ellie & if the one who came to mourn was separated from it personally. Btw the music was lovely. I’ll be watching more from you.
glad you enjoyed it🙂 couldn't get any information on the elephant. Everyone had their own version.
The rangers did check on us every day that we srayed at campsite 3. Nice to know help would ve available if necessary.
that is godd and no3 is the best, wished that was available when I was there
This place do monthly deals?

How many Times to reach epupa from ruacana by this D3700 road ? We plan to do Epupa Ruacana tomorrow ..!

i wish i can see you when i am there sir coz i learned a lot fro you n your videos
That what i was saying to him coz next month will be on that side. You know from the first time i saw his video driving from driving from cape town to namibia i never stopped watching his videos
Nick thanks for this episode greetings
How long did you take to reach the top ?
honestly cant remember...was a long time ago
Great Video Nick, good to have an update especially now that the park is getting such bad press. Issy
Thanks Issy. Unfortunately I will add some bad press in the next video. Did not stay inside , but the roads are really bad. At least the animals sightings are still amazing
@@NickfrNamibia That's such a pity, Etosha is one of Namibia's jewels :(
Great video! We visited Etosha in May 2023. The roads were horrific: not sinkplaat, but stones and rocks in the majority of the roads. Even 4x4 boffins complained. To my mind the management should ask the CHINESE to improve the situation...))))))
Why ask Chinese????
@@patrickisingizwe7595 .....Because the Chinese are already building quality roads in the rest of Africa (even in South Africa) and they are already in Namibia building roads and infrastructure... politics , my friend, politics...
@ I think they are not helping, they are paid to do it, they are doing business not not helping
You inspire me to step out of my comfort zone and embrace the great outdoors, we have booked our first camping trip EVER!! thanks to you Sir, we go back home to zim in dec camping with our 3 toddlers!
Comments like yours is why I keep on doing this. I am so happy to hear this. All the best with your first ever camping trip💪
Will most places accept sa currency ?
@@garyjansen365 all places will accept SA currency. It is a legal tender in Namibia equal to the Namibian dollar.
What are the entrance fee’s for the parks roughly ?
here is a link to the current park fees. The last increase was in 2021. www.nwr.com.na/icheephu/2021/04/Press-release-Park-fees-2021.pdf
Nice! My planned Namibia visit next year is partly fueled by your videos. The only error I noticed here was your claim that you're "not exceptionally attractive nor entertaining".
you should have seen me 10 years ago😂 glad the videos are helping and hope you. have an amazing stay in Namibia
I just realized the last time I was there was 44 years ago. Think it's time to plan another trip
44years😳 back then you just slept in the bush.....
Very nice video, thank you for sharing. Patience - that is the most important thing in Etosha, then you will often be rewarded. I have heard and seen in many documentaries how elephants mourn. I love these animals, they are so magnificent. Whenever they lose a member of their herd and would even offer condolences on the bones, it almost brings tears to my eyes, I am so moved. And YOU were allowed to be there when this elephant went to his dead companion at the Aus waterhole. What a privilege. I am happy for you that you were able to see something like that live. Best wishes from Germany, HenningVery nice video, thank you for sharing. Patience - that is the most important thing in Etosha, then you will often be rewarded.

Thank you Hen. I mispoke in the video. I knew this is what they do, but Ive never been able to see it. In the video I showed a few minutes. In reality she took so long before and after drinking and chasing the lions around. It was a special moment which I think many people there overlooked. Like you said, made me really sad....
The roads in Etosha are awful. Just returned from there…great animals, but the roads will prevent me visiting again.
I agree. This point did not come out in the first video, but will in the next two. Ended up abandoning the 5th because the roads became too much for me.
Road conditions have really deteriorated and seemingly no attention to improve services for visitors,
Unfortunately very true
Awesome video! Thanks Nick!
My friend i am watching all your videos n i am counting days to come up there
Well done Nick ❤
Dankie🙂
Great to see you back Nick!
Thanks everyone for watching the video. Glad you enjoyed it. Two corrections on the video. The gate at Okaukuejo camp (which I passed through 3 times🤣) is the Anderson gate and not the Galton🫣 and of course the swimming pools at Okaukuejo are only for onvernight visitors and not day visitors...but dont worry all the animals are real. no mistakes there😊
