  • Crossing the Red Line in Namibia: Grootfontein to Rundu
    In this video we cross the red line in Namibia, also know as the veterinary cordon fence. We drive from Grootfontein to Rundu, sleeping over at the popular Roy's rest camp. I also provide some information about entering Khaudum National Park from the southern gate.

    Ah nice to see Rundu again. I was there 25 years ago at RVTC setting up the plumbing department. I’m bringing my family for a visit this year 2023, out to Swakopmund, Palmwag, Etosha, Rundu, Vic Falls, and back to Windhoek. I drove up through Chobe 17 years ago with my wife, that was some drive in a petrol Navara in the wet!!! At one point we were running on two cylinders, then drying the distributor out 😂😂😂😂

      @@NickfrNamibia your enthusiasm has been great to watch. Thank you for your input and wish you well in whatever your doing now. I’m sure my boys will be stunned with the diversity of Namibia. I would have liked to get them to Chiefs Island in the Delta but we won’t have time. Rafting down the Zambezi will be great for them too. I’m a lot older since my last time down there though 😂

    During my army days, I stayed over at Grootfontein and Rundu, on my way to our base near Katimamalilo. That was 50 years ago.

      I was in the Groitfontein, Ondangwa area in 1976!
      It looks very different nowadays.
      I'm impressed by the condition of the roads. Well done, Namibia 😊

    Looks like you got out of Windhoek just in time with the flooding there. Grootfontien brings back memories of when we passed through there doing our military service.

    Hello Nick, thanks for this video! You have the best Namibia videos!!! Do you know whether beef biltong “jerky” is considered uncooked meat that would be confiscated at the red line going south or east in Namibia?

    • @NickfrNamibia
      @NickfrNamibia  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      thanks for watching. Yeah, biltong is too close to raw meat and will most likely get taken. As you can see from the Govt Notice there are many grey areas and up to the officials to decided with which you cant argue. So I wont chance it.
