    • @NickfrNamibia
      @NickfrNamibia  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      most locals will calm them junkies, no idea where that comes from, and the lazy ones call them fat cakes, i mean lazy cause it is translated directly from vetkoek. A guide... not really, just walk and drive around yourself, its so small...🙈😆

    Hi Nick, like always it has been a huge pleasure to watch this vid! You will become my main source of information to plan my next year trip (6 months with my wife and kids).
    By the way, I allow myself to ask you a stupid question. Stupid because it will be difficult to answer, but just let your inspiration guide you: I must slowly book some places in Botswana for June-july 2023 and I plan to travel 7-8 weeks in Nambia before, do you think it’s exaggerated?
    I was there for 3 weeks in 2014 and I just cover half of the country and it was before having the kids.
    (I plan to make 7-8 weeks in Namibia, 4-5 in Botswana, 4 in Zimbabwe 4, 5 in SA)!! Thanks in advance and keep your contagious smile

    • @NickfrNamibia
      @NickfrNamibia  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Peter, If you are planning on seeing the entire country then I think that is about the perfect amount of time. You can do it a bit faster, but then it is long distances of driving everyday, only spending a night at a place etc Take your time, if you like a place stay an extra day or if you hear about some other place whilst there you have the option to make a quick detour.

    • @peterpatch7144
      @peterpatch7144 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @NickfrNamibia
      @NickfrNamibia  ปีที่แล้ว

      Recently, we've had problems with petty theft especially stealing valuables from tourists, they usually identify them from the rental vehicles. I travel with all my gear in my car, but keep it out of sight. Spread your money and credit cards around, if they do steal your wallet at least you only loose a little. But if you are vigilant and an experienced traveller you shouldn't have any issues.
