- Join me on a full tour (in 4K) of Onguma The Fort, the best luxury lodge near Etosha National Park (Namibia's most famous wildlife reserve).
The video includes a safari drive inside Etosha National Park with several thrilling close-up encounters with wild animals: lions (with cubs), leopards, rhinos and elephants to name a few.

The Namibia series was exceptional and this wildlife experience was simply breathtaking, I didn't want it to end! Thank you again for taking us along, so grateful to you for sharing this adventure of a lifetime 😊
Mesmerizing... Such a peaceful place where you feel a million miles from everything
You got an awesome travel channel !
Glad you think so!
Wow 😳. Namibia never on my travel list before. But now yes 🙏
These videos have become must-see Saturday night viewing for us. Another amazing adventure!
wow
Animals are much better than humans that's why I adore them...
Breathtaking and beautiful work....
Thank you for your gift......
Oh I’m in love! This is probably the most wheelchair-accessible place you’ve shared from Namibia.
How wonderful to see Elephants and wildlife living free. What an amazing experience.
Simply breathtaking! Tanks for sharing.
Like others, I too have followed this Namibia resorts series and loved it all. This entry with all the animals -- Those two "necking" giraffes! Never seen anything like that! -- was the standout for me. Superb!
great video! Those Rinos are the bomb!
About four years ago we stayed at Onguma the Fort. It was a most wonderful experience. Can only recommend it.
The Time and Memories that are spent and achieved in this Amazing country. Is worth more than the cost. And again thank you 😊.
Memories are always priceless! Better spend your money on a fantastic vacation then on materialism!
Beautiful as always! Especially lovely to see the two loving giraffes. Love knows no bounds!!!!
Necking is actually a sparring exercise between two male giraffes and can become quite violent. Not a display of affection.
Great video on the best lodge we ever stayed
Hi your BEST video..the Safari drives were breath taking..excellent coverage..hint hint...
Wow, this journey has more wild animals too see! Made my day!
That was an amazing and beautiful video!!
The lion cubs literally stopped and struck a pose for the lady taking a pic with the iPhone at 20:29 min then continued crossing after she was done, gotta love these little things. 😂
Absolutely, spectacular. Thank you!
The giraffe against the setting sun is definitely the money shot! Very nice place! Lovely suite ... Well done, dear LTE 👏 !!
That was a very nice gesture of that giraffe indeed 😉
Thank you for these sensational videos...
Got an extreme desire to go on vacation...
You really are a gifted cameraman 👍👍👍 really !!!
It is a real pleasure to watch...thanks so much 💝

Really Enormous...
THIS VIDEO IS EPIC!! START TO FINISH!! LOVE ❤ THE SUITES THE POP OF COLOR USED FOR INTERIOR & EXTERIOR FABULOUS! THE UNIQUE SINKS! EXTRAORDINARY FOOTAGE OF THE WILDLIFE ANIMAL KINGDOM YOU ALWAYS PUT US RIGHT IN THE ACTION WITH YOU! THE 4K RESOLUTION FEELS LIKE WE CAN LITERALLY REACH THRU THE SCREEN & TOUCH THE ANIMALS OURSELVES! THE LUNCH & DINNER YESSSSSS!! THE GIRAFFE WALKING THRU THE SUNSET PRICELESS!! LOVED IT ALL!! 😍 ❤ ❤
I love your Africa videos. It is definitely someplace that i would love to visit one day. This place truly is so beautiful.
Makes me want to book a trip asap.
Fantastic fort resort and wild Safari 👌👌👌
I want to visit this country in Africa.
With this last video I end the spectacular adventures you gave us with the beautiful videos spent in the Namibian desert. As always I had a wonderful journey. Thanks. 😍👍
Wow, just wow. What a phenomenal property! Thank you for sharing your visit there.
Very beautiful places
Amazing Namibia series, thank you, and now I can´t wait for the Maldives experience, yuhu!! ☀😍
Speechless.
As this channel nears 1 million subscribers, will we learn a little more about the LTE as we reach this milestone? That was hinted at some time ago. Of course I know there was the Corona video, but maybe something is planned after all. ;-) Great work!
He doesn't want to make it about himself like many other travel TH-camrs. That's the appeal of the channel. No possibly irritating voice over, no selfie sticks. Just the experience.
@@Ozymandias1 True I like that
Another beautiful place with amazing wildlife, but I’m left with the feeling that I’d be permanently hungry! Those portions look so small!
Beautiful quality of the filming, great music that complimented the lodge and safari, among the best travel videos I have seen, and I have seen a...lot..... Thank you
Wow - I think y'all's safari tour was the most successful I've ever seen! Those lion cubs were the cutest, but there were a couple of times there, I was scared for y'all! Gin seems to be a popular liquor in the common areas of the lodge and I bet a few of you needed a shot or four after that trip, lol. Really beautiful place....that sky at sunset = AMAZING.
I would love to stay in this luxury lodge !
wow so cool lots of animal to see ty for video this
Oh my God you're going to finish the entire country of Namibia!
Looking forward to your content!
Another great video. I still love it. Thank you.👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
What a beautiful area and view. Beautiful and incredibly precious, this little piece of earth. Thank you for great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Amazing experience. Hated to leave!
Gosh, I felt I was really there. Maybe your best one yet. Lodge looks great, though I have to say the menu and cheap cutlery let them down a bit. But those wildlife pics! Just amazing.
Quick correction, at 26mins, that’s a unicorn 🥰😋 but seriously thank you for taking the time making and sharing these videos. Wishing you safe travels always, a fan from Ontario 🇨🇦
What an amazing collection of animals. The best I've seen so far.
Yes, we were pretty lucky during the safari drives
Prima! Thank you.
Chris
Anymore African vids coming and what country is next in the world?
Maldives
Beautiful exeptional artistic in everyway such a sight to behold 🙏🙂💛
Very beautiful pleace🌟🌟🌟
Come to Namibia guys, it's pretty chilled this side.
wow! quite amazing!!!❤️
You are a true capturer of the essence of a place and its surroundings. Your selection of calm, soothing, and touching music in the background provides an ethereal and nostalgic feeling. I love your video presentations!
Thank you so much 🙂
Nice ..how much night??
❤❤❤❤❤love this
C'est très beau, magnifique, un décor très épuré, les couleurs sont douces donc n'agressent pas les yeux contrairement au blanc qui est utilisé un peu trop devenant vif et éblouissant, c'est spacieux, très léger, aérien, c'est très très beau, bravo.
Very beautiful, amazing)))
Always awesome content.
❣️❣️❣️❣️
ME ENCANTAN TODOS SUS VIDEOS.
ME HACEN SOÑAR...🧡
Wonderful..
Thankyou...
Uu nice wou mamma Mia uu lalaa
Thank you for the journey through Africa as I cannot go (can't afford even on a "budget"). Was absolutely beautiful.
Wow wow amazing thank you so much i have seen all your videos from Namibia you inspire me for a Trip to Namibia
All your videos give me inspiration for my vacation your simply the best 😊
素晴らしい動画です。
Thanks for all your videos.
Glad you like them!
wow, so beautiful. Btw I'm from Malaysia. Greetings From Malaysia👋
Gorgeous place
💯
My ultimate goal is to travel to South Africa 🇿🇦 and stay there at this most breathtaking lodge. I will make it happen 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Namibia
Nice
So good your video
Thanks Luxury travel Expert or this wonderful discovery of this wild Namibia Park😀! Have a nice day ! Greetings from Paris-France
Very beautiful спасибо!
Since being a vegetarian, my heart breaks a little seeing these beautiful animals using them for game and then seeing that on the menu :-/ but in addition this is a lovely lodge and I would definitely holiday there :-)
Yes I'm also vegetarian
@@afellatjawad For humans Vegetarian food is inevitable but non vegetarian food is always an option.
I bet the wild animals aren’t vegetarian
This was like entering a little adventure. Which starts when you enter the hotel door. Where you enter a litle castle, decorated in a fusion of Arabic-African style. The suites you showed in the video had beautiful colors. I liked it best with purple tones. Furthermore, you will be on a fantastic adventurous journey of all the fantastic creatures a jungle can show off. Another beautiful video, with beautiful pictures and music. Wonderfully good because I again forgot time and place, and I could dream away. A wonderful ending on a spectacular journey!
Ok, this might be a very stupid question. What keeps lions from jumping on the deck of that pool and eating you? I'll fully admit to camping in places where predators live but I also have bear spray (pepper spray) and my Smith and Wesson. You would think the liability would be high on that. I mean, as they say, it all fun and games until someone gets hurt!
That’s exactly what I was thinking ! I don’t see no electric gates or walls… just little fences built with sticks😂
Hi Traveler. This lodge reminded me of Zighy Bay in Oman. That stay was worth its weight in gold for the animals seen, right? They were beautiful and majestic. Wonderful trip on the whole I might say. Thank you for my Saturday morning trip abroad.
Enjoyed watching this flying out to Indonesia and the Philippines for work on Monday looking forward to going back to the Amanpulo and Nihi Sumba ,and basically getting back to work which I’ve missed and seeing clients that you’ve only been able to communicate to via FaceTime,,,which definitely not the same,,,,PEACE AND HAPPINESS AS ALWAYS LTE,,,,
😍
I have watched your videos and just wondering about fridges in the rooms, amenities in the rooms and also do the hotels have soft drinks? Just overwhelming. I would love to stay there. I was in the Cameroon doing charity work.Again this hotel seems too quiet.
Such an amazing abundance of wildlife! And a stressful environment for prey animals such as giraffes with all the lions about. Those cute lion cubs have got to eat and mom is on the hunt. And that is the way of the wild. As a human, I would definitely feel more safe in a fortress-like lodge such as Onguma--lol. I shall miss Nimibia--so beautifully presented to us by our master filmographer, Dr LTE. It's been a grand experience and it's nice to know I can re-visit any time I want to :)
as a senior giraffe, i take offense to your comments and wish the humans could feel my existential fears every minute of there lives so that they may live it as if it were there last. So much time is wasted by those who are privileged enough to think they have more of it.
@@Saki630 I love giraffes and it grieves me that they live in fear. And sharing their space with lions means giraffes and other animals are in constant danger, especially the little ones. I most certainly did not mean to offend you :(
I haven't but would love to stay there.
❤️
i love your video i think you should tour some scanadavian resort
Another great piece of work. I dont miss any of your videos for 2 reasons. The places and magnificent filming, but also for the MUSIC!. Any chance that you can tell us about the music?. Thanks from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The soundtrack is from MusicBed.com
Love your videos, would love to be like you one day! I'm actually curious, how much do you spend monthly on your travels?
Your Namibia series is awesome.. Loved all videos in this series.
Which camera you are using. It seems this is best for Outdoor indoor videos.
iPhone
@@luxurytravelexpert super.. I thought DSLR camera..
Model
I can't be the only person saddened the Nambia series is over!
LTE: How many days was the entire holiday?
two weeks
The landscape looks right out of 0 A.D.
Dodo here...Regular folks probably know the answer but.... Can't all the snakes and animals get into your room/suite/bungalow?!?😳 It sure looks super open to the 'public' ... Super awesome video as always!
The lodge is not fenced off so animals roam freely on the resort grounds (hence why the staff accompanies guests at night when walking around)
@@luxurytravelexpert That does NOT make me feel better LTE! That was a BIG snake and I wouldn't sleep the entire time knowing any manner of critter could make itself comfy in my open concept, to the elements, come on in, make yourself at home, we have snacks and water ...suite. Nope.😳🤣🤣 Glad I have you to take me to these places.🤩😁
That was also my question, as the lodge is quite open. Thanks LTE.
Hellow Which camera or phone do you use for creating videos if is not a secret☀️☀️Thank you
iPhone
Beautiful but I’d rather sit on a terrace and look out at the ocean rather than a savannah any day
Notice no curvature caused by the lens! This is (are) real dimensions; a lot of the accommodations are actually quite roomy... NICE. Question (not to spoil but I need to know!): How to 2 male giraffes do something about it? Proceed😇 carefully?
My opinion, after experiencing these kind of wildlife animal roaming around in the open freely surrounded by beautiful land, it would be difficult to go back to city ZOO.
what is the music in introduction? 😃
Are you always travel alone? Can you give me tips to travel alone
What month(s) of the year did you visit?
Early November
At 33:00, what's the name of the music?
How did you fly to their?
Спасибо за ваш ролик, очень интересно смотреть из заснеженной Москвы на диване. Вы такой смелый человек, что так далеко погружаетесь в Африку. Наверное делали какие-то дополнительные прививки от малярии. Интересные блюда, но такие же и в Москве, но только больше по объёму. Самое любимое животное это жираф, но в Москве в зоопарке требование его не кормить, потому что он болеет. А тут такие красивые и здоровые животные.
These places look lovely but way under utilised. I like my place to have a bit of life; not feel as if all eyes are on me which is what I would feel in a deserted hotel. I’m not saying I want 100 rooms but maybe 30-40 so there’s a wider range of people and at night the bar and restaurant feel alive with chatter. Places with 10 rooms leave me cold.
