  • Our family overland African adventure continues as we head deep into Damaraland in Namibia, Our little boy meets his first elephants, and hangs out with the Himba tribes people. We also take a walk through a forest of 200 million year old trees and do a little shopping on the side of the road.
    This might just be our favourite episode yet!
    We are the Newbys, John, Tara, and our two little boys Crusoe and Sawyer. We’re a family who are pursuing an alternative lifestyle, and after two years of full time travel we’ve taken root on an abandoned farm in Northern Portugal which we’re renovating into our dream off-grid homestead. We release new videos every Sunday sharing our story, and we’d love for you to be a part of it with us.

    Thankyou, as always, for a lovely start to my week. I've only been once to Africa and I will always remember that when I saw elephants in the wild, I was overwhelmed by the feeling that I was in the midst of amazing wisdom, greatness and wonderful family relationships. Thankyou for reminding me of just how special these animals are. Happy travels!

    Each week you surprise me even more. Crusoe is like a little sponge, soaking up everything. He always has such a look of wonder. John is seeing everything in a new light, as a dad not a backpacker. I look how hot and desolate it is there and am amazed that creatures, both 2 and 4 legged have carved out a living. Thank you for sharing your family adventures... the weather in the US a hot mess... flooding in the northwest and freezing rain/snow in the northeast. Mother Nature can't seem to make up her mind... she needs to send some of that moisture to the wildfires. Stay safe and can't wait till next Sunday. ❤

      Hi Cathy, great to hear from you friend. Good insights there about John and his adventures changing as the backpack is left behind and Crusoe takes front stage.
      Wasn’t that cool to see the little man watch his first elephant. This really was our favourite video so far, maybe Jordan and Petra comes close!

      Yes, a meet up some where down the road would be terrific. The world is son messy at the moment it’s tough to make plans more than a month out. India looks off the cards, they just implemented mandatory quarantine for all arrivals. So we are looking around for new ideas. Let’s see.

    Another great video. Made me homesick for Africa as well. You are raising an amazing child through your adventures. I love you outlook on trying not to get something at the cheapest price. I believe you will be blessed because of that attitude. Thanks once again. I may have to book a trip to see my son in Cape Town soon.

      Hi Laura! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. What a truly kind comment, thank you. We are doing our very best with the little man, and so long as he is smiling we will keep on exploring.
      You should go to see your son, he would appreciate it and you will love the trip we are sure. Good luck friend. Thanks for taking this journey with us. 🙏🐘🌍

    Wow! I am so nostalgic as I have lived in Namibia and have been to all parts of Namibia including Damaraland. I love your Namibia Series. I would have bought more souvenirs to give away to help those people in the middle of nowhere. Your baby is the sweetest toddler & so mature as though he understands how to behave in a rugged country. Hats off to you both. Crusoe will be an adventurer when he grows up. Are you still in Namibia? We drove through Caprivi District all the way to Victoria Falls also.
