Thanks Jaco. Much appreciated. Think you will enjoy some in the next Episode as well. Will drive next to the Orange River, see the Wild Horses and will also be in Luderitz and Kolmanskoppe (In between my car gets sandblasted as well...)
The scenery on that Namakwa Eco trail is stunning & very reminiscent of the scenery on the Namibian side. It's a beautiful part of the world for lovers of desert wilderness. I have travelled in that region a number of times & would never tire of it.
That uphill section you did. That was quite steep, don’t think the cameras did it justice. Good set of tyres you have there because you had lots of traction
@@gregorygoodspeed8235 you are correct yes. It is difficult to capture and the caravan adds weight. The Maxxis does grip well, but that is something I have known for a while when I saw them on other vehicles.
Thank you. We used the following places: Witsand Kalahari Nature Reserve, Klein Pella, Amanzi River Trails. In the next Episode we will be at Klein Aus Vista and Luderitz.
Thanks Henk for showcasing some beautiful sites in the Northern Cape. Question: how do you make reservations at Klein Pella campsite? Looking forward to your next episode. Greetings from Houston, TX!
Great video! Klein Pella also has a wild camp right next to the river that is hidden between the trees. Know the river washes it away during floods and not sure if it still exists. Camped there twice, many years ago when still living in Aggeneys and worked for Rudy Niemöller. His father Gert Niemöller started Klein Pella farm and the history of that place and area is incredible. Amazing stories that you can sit and listen to for hours. Just out of interest, some scenes from a Nicolas Cage movie, Lord of War, was shot very near to the Halfmens forest on Klein Pella.
I do not think it is wise to take your family without another vehicle into these vast desert spaces it can be dangerous these places get very hot during summer time and without help you can die there without water and help, please remember it is desert even if it looks not the same.
Good day. Thank you for your concern. Please note that this was not the entire trail. Risk management were done before the trip. Various experts were contacted with regards to the route driven as well as a trial run a couple of days before the trip to ensure that the route is safe. I have also completed various 4x4 driver trainings (TETA accredited) to ensure I am familiar with my vehicle and various recovery techniques. We also had almost 100L of water and this trip was done in July.
This is epic and we can’t wait to watch the rest of the series! Also Witsand has been on our list. It’s a sign we have to plan a Namibia adventure 😃
@@the.sher.khan. thank you very much. Definitely worth a visit. Road in is just very corrugated…
Tanks a lot for the nice and stunning impressions!
@@the_wildlife_travelers Thank you very much. Thanks for watching. The next episode will be out on Thursday.
Fantastic start to the series Henk! Those shots over the river at Klein Pella....wow...
Thanks Jaco. Much appreciated. Think you will enjoy some in the next Episode as well. Will drive next to the Orange River, see the Wild Horses and will also be in Luderitz and Kolmanskoppe (In between my car gets sandblasted as well...)

@@mrdoodle8748 I agree. If you appreciate it it is a very special place to visit.
Showing off some spectacular scenery and sunsets. I'm enjoying the historical info you shared too.
@@anthonyforgey3518 Thank you very much.
Interesting angle from the trailer.
@@JorsMalan Thanks, I wanted to capture the movement of the rock flap.
Most of the time the gravel roads are not in a good condition the tar roads are rather recommendable.
Well done , great video.

11:27 Noticing the guys in the polo, look like they wanna join the vlog
I had to go back and have a look. I see what you mean...
Thank you for a great video. What is the brand of the front bumper?
@@JohandeKlerk-b5b it is a pleasure and thank you for watching. It is a Wildog K9 Bumper. They are based in Pretoria.
Really well done.
Could you please send all accommodation used on route. I'd like to follow your route.
Thank you. We used the following places: Witsand Kalahari Nature Reserve, Klein Pella, Amanzi River Trails. In the next Episode we will be at Klein Aus Vista and Luderitz.

@@JohanZaayman Thank you very much. I usually send them an email to book. But I know them well, I am there almost every 2nd month.
@@4WheelingSAThanks for your quick reply. I’ll drop them a note.

@@markmorris4083 It is great. Thank you for the information. If I can find a sponsor I will make a series just about Klein Pella tomorrow…
@@4WheelingSA ooh! That will be a must watch. I truly hope that will happen. No better story tellers than the people from that area.
Another great video, Henk. You need a bit of training though to keep up with your children 😂😂
@@keithmatthias4348 Thank you. You must see me then at the Sossusvlei episode… Almost did not make that one 🤣🤣🤣
@@keithmatthias4348 But too confess, I was feeling that well at that point of time… 😁
Does your vehicle have a lift? It really looks amazing ❤, love from Namibia 🇳🇦
@@Offroad_namibia Yes, it has OME. Thank you for watching.
Awesome video as always. Thanks for the honesty, beautiful country
