Be safe jermaine your blogs are just great mate learning so much about other countries ye
I'm a local but I wouldn't wall alone at night from town to Windhoek West 😂😂
Hello? The way it ended! You were on the way to the backpacker's place ….....alone! ...……at night! ...….again! ......
I am from Botswana. I can't wait to vlog myself at home. Currently in the States
Been following you channel for a month now and I love it. Can wait to see you home 🇧🇼🇧🇼 and would love to do a video collaboration with u
Hey Neo my darling...ivnt been watching fo a few days. I miss u and i will be watching u next.
Normal for US passport holders to get the extra checks done. Very common in African border crossings. What makes them very suspicious is you travelling on the bus.
It's not normal. They just profiled him because he is black. There are lots of white tourists in Namibia.
Love your vlogs. Keep 'em coming. Thank you.
I love your channel, keep the videos coming
Yo, yo, yo Jermaine still keeping you in my prayers young brother.💙
Loved your video once again... I've been to Windhoek and Swakopmund a couple of times. I'm Zambian living in Botswana. I just love SADC (Southern African Developing Countries) region. You have so much to see.. From Lake Malawi, Victoria Falls! Omg... enjoy Jermaine BUT please be safe. Don't be a daredevil too often. We love you!
I thought you learnt something about night traveling the first time when you crossed into South Africa from eSwatini. Pls stay safe bro, never take risks. Take a taxi always even for walkable distances. Take care bro ..
Yaay your home!! 🇳🇦
This ain't Fisco! This ain't no Party..This is movin' @round....
blacks ain't africans
Welcome to Namibia. You’ll love it here. It’s so beautiful, peaceful and the people are super friendly.
Must see: Windhoek, “the coast” Swakopmund, Wallis bay, skeleton coast (where the desert and the ocean meet), fish river canyon (2nd largest canyon in the world), deadvlei, man there’s sooo many places....
Love from Windhoek 🇳🇦❤️
If you love nature and wild animals Namibia is the place for you.
Taimi please i need to know more of Namibia please let us communicate through WhatsApp. My number is

Love this. Thanks. My students and I are studying Botswana. We are learning remotely, but with your videos, it’s almost like a remote field trip. Thanks for not swearing. 😉
They have one of the best safaris in Okavango delta. A huge country with a population of less than 2 million people . People there seems to be hard workers . They are surely taking advantage of a government sponsored education system . A peaceful and secure country .
Port Elizabeth, East London, Bloemfontein and Pretoria is the places to visit in South Africa, Enjoy your time in Namibia. 👍
all
I second that, especially Port Elizabeth, P.E in short is very laid-back you might wanna retire there one day. I'm not from there but I've been there a few times in the past and still want to go for holidays. Just go let us know about you experiences there, People are super friends even for a lone traveler, I would know about it (I've traveled there alone many times before). there are many youtube videos about P.E these days (check it out)
I took a bus ride from Johannesburg South Africa to Limpopo in the north east. These rides are a great bang for your buck. You see so much scenery
Namibia my home 😍
Back to Africa Namibia 🇳🇦 still on my bucket list
Here's a tip: don't walk alone at night in windhoek and even more don't get your camera out, unless you wanna get robbed and have your nose cut off
Are robberies bad there?
Woow you just passed by me at Namibia border ,not the hair .we have many people with dread
You saw me at the border?
The contrast between Gaborone and Windhoek tho..... Windhoek looks more modern...or is it just me?
Thanks Jermaine. Happy travel and good luck. Hope to see something new !!
Jermaine is just a unique traveler. All the border agents just want to stare at his passport in wonderment. He doesn't fit into any of their usual "square" boxes.
it isnt about the passport alone; it is more about him traveling via land with the passport- Thats a red flag.... idk how to explain it to you though
Great video Jermaine! This is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also locs are looked at differently in some countries of Africa (most). They associate locs with insanity or someone who doesn't take care of themselves due to homelessness. In the states locs are looked at totally differently. This is what an African woman said during a panel discussion on Grapevine. Personally? I like the locs.
Cool video, stay safe homeboy J
Love the vlog! Uniquely charming ! Have a more nice trip and keep safe always!
Ok, so, my first time here, 3rd video, thoroughly enjoying everything, but confused and really impressed. Are you alone? I heard to mention the possibility of getting robbed, mugged, what's the purpose of your travels? I'm not a tough guy, so naturally I want to know are ever afraid, and how do you keep going if you're afraid. Lastly I just want to say thank you for what ever reason you have for doing what you're doing!!!
I think its because you are American actually. It kinda feels like what they do over here at Lagos airport. The officials hear a western accent and they try to frustrate you simply because they want to be in your position being able to travel at the drop of a hat on a sought after US, Canadian or EU passport. Ya-hey
Jasmine how can you not tell me you are in my country. My first time to comment though. Welcome to Botswana and southern Africa. Enjoy the journey.
2019
Wild.this was hella interesting. Good luck!
Let’s get this video starteeeeeeeeed 😍😀😍
Loved the vídeos, you rock!
Oh the case with dreadlock...there was a woman found on border hiding drugs on the locks.sorry you went through that
Like your videos more. Can you share with us the bus schedule from Gabs to Windhoek? Is it daily or somedays of the week? Which are those days? How much is the fare? Name of the bus campany? Will be visiting Gabs and Windhoek in July and will travel the same route
Can't wait until the next video.
No Jermaine, I don't think it's the dreads. There are plenty of people with dreads in Namibia.
Let's just say your traveler profile, young, non-businessman/official Black, hippyish *American* is not the most usual profile across the road border. Perhaps they suspected you work for your government's global "eager beaver"! (especially when you combine that with the number of stamps from so many different countries in your passport!)
(They often deploy African-Americans to Africa operations for obvious reasons)...........or, you know, a drug dealer!
So they think Jermaine is a hippy spy? I don't think so. They are power hungry nutcases bored out of their minds working at the boreder and like to bother travelers at their most vulnerable.
@@curiousnomadic
Ever heard of a cover?
I guess you'd be the guy later going "Gee, golly gosh. I never suspected X. He seemed so laid back. He didn't *ACT* like a square at all!"
They go by unusual, not "stereotypical".
lol @Agrid their "cover would be Africans with African passports, not American "hippy" travelers with gopros and youtube vlogs. They'd never even know and they wouldn't be spying in Botswana/Namibia anyway. No interest, nothing to disrupt.
@@curiousnomadic No. You wouldn't be able to fake locals for a fast op.
Being that you are talking about some of the TOP 5 Uranium producers in the world in that region among other resources, I would say there is plenty to disrupt!
US intelligence involvment goes back decades, including providing the intel for the arrest of Mandela in Howick , KwaZulu-Natal in the early 60's!
The SADC region is pivotal to African affairs!
@@curiousnomadicUh, Namibia has the world's 2nd and 7th most productive Uranium Mines. These two open-pit mines (meaning they are far less efficient than more modern mines) produce 10% of the world's capacity.
There are probably half-a-dozen American Assets in Namibia at all times monitoring theses mines. But they do not come in by bus, nor do they usually tour the country (they typically stay in American government buildings with diplomatic covers) - Jermaine would have an excellent (and impossible to break) cover were he in fact working for the CIA as a NOC (Non-Official Cover = the guys who kill people/plant viruses on Iranian Nuclear Reactors).
So J in this video I've discovered you share the same birthday as my mom ! No wonder... I like you Aquarians!
You mus visit Rwanda!
SwakopMUND 😂😂😂😂 that was funny
Namibia 🇳🇦
I'm seriously looking for one to marry and settle my life in Namibia. Please be my contact to help me have details and connections i need. Let's communicate through WhatsApp number

Bruh, Namibian service providers are horrible. I couldn't understand why they were so rude, more especially at the border because they're welcoming people.
yo bro love the hustle
Man be careful Jermaine. Some of those places look sketchy.
He dont need to worry of anything, he is black that alone will not put in danger situation
have a good time namibia is the best
Brother, Nice video. Thanks
I love these videos ♥️☮️
You gonna be ok
Hi, Jermaine. I am watching this video which was shot 3yrs ago, but I still wanna write a comment. Hope you wouldn't mind. I wonder if your trips across Africa all safe, and if you have had any dangerous experience.
I might die and get robbed. That's my kind of sound thinking. 😂
I hate filling out forms, because they always have a question or two that makes no since. You might have two choose yes or no, when it could be yes and no. Where do we go from there, so then I end up doing math. lol
Hello Jermaine Ellis. I saw a few of your videos. It is nice to travel and see the world. The way that you travel is very risky and dangerous. Border agents search you and ask you a lot of questions because they are suspicious of you. Take these searches and questioning very seriously. It is a hint that you need to change the way that you travel. I hope that no one falsely accuses you of something as you travel. You should at least try to have a local join you as you walk thru the city. I am just trying to be helpful and give you my assessment. Ed
Yay! You said it correctly. Well done. :-)
Jermaine u making me miss my home Botswana loads. Im in Namibia and this is my route..woow
Hey ..am trying to find info on bus companies on this route.esp Windhoek to Nambia,kindly helpout
Yo yo yo ! Another day another adventure with your homeboy
No I work at that Namibia border ,is just a normal checking of people.
OK.
Visiting Namibia soon😊
Hey jermaine that's how we zimbabweans cross the boarder to southafrica 😅or to botswana
I see
@@901cali enjoy africa visit zimbabwe someday oneday take a night train from bulawayo to Victoria falls that's a secret tipp.
And thats how we Batswana cross to Zimbabwe. Zims officers even illtreat their own. Being married to a Zimabwean ive seen them illtreat my husband...so sick
Wow must feel awesome to be a black American walking around in Africa. Not many will take a trip like that..
The amygdala is the fear sense in the brain. Yours is malfunctioning. Love the videos. Keep doing your thing. Probably a good idea to keep your California residency a secret.
Bro you make me want to go
Back to Africa I feel like I been
In the United states forever lol
me traveling is basically going room one side of Gaborone to other, Nd back
Knysna is the other Beautiful place in South Africa ✌
Yes, too many beautiful and well developed places in S.A..
Jermaine looks like u didnt do much in Botswana. Batswana love dreads too. My family has dreads starting from hubby..kids and i recently removed it
And Africa needs investment, lots of it. They need better roads and infrastructure.
Namibia actually has well maintained roads. As the ending of the video attests.
@@agrid2608 Africa need's world beating infrastructure then
Namibia has some of the best roads in the world and the best in Africa...do some research
jermaine dont lie your in windhoek going to walvis bay am telling mom
I stay in Block 7
from which city did you travel in botswana ? to windhoek
jermaine try to go to other places like phillipines cambodia asia in general is cheap
You know big Africa is?? He has only been to maybe three to 4 African countries and I know he has been to Asia.
I live in namibia it is the best place to live ever I love it
I don't miss that bus ride
Stay safe!
Update us
Jermaine
Why so much walking to cross the border?
please go to Zimbabwe
😂😂There us border patrol
Windhoek is pronounced Vind-hook.
hello thank you for your comment its quite informing, i had trouble trying to read your name, if you look into your keyboard there is a button shaped like a rectangle yes the longest one. its called a spacebar. you write your name then press that button then middlename and press that button then your surname. i hope it helps. Have a great day
No, actuallu, its Vend-Hook. Thats how its pronounced.
@@smartmoneyinstitution9279 Kind of like the missing space between smart, money and institution.
Ce du n'importe quoi, ce que Tu rectifie ici.
You’re in real life college/grad school ✨
Iam from Rwanda how to work and live in Botswana
botswana+namimbia= a village in my country interms of population
which bus company did you use i wana travel that route as well
Hey ,did you find info on bus company? planning to Do Windhoek to Gaborone and no info available
Lol pack warm for SwakopMUND
Dude, mayb u were in Gaborone Botswana during holidays majority of ppl there have dreadlocks it is even targeted by thieves they'll steal it frm ur head😂nt joking
Dude, I know Namibia. They profiled you because you are a black tourist with an American passport. There are lots of white tourists in Namibia. They don't raise eyebrows at the border post because well they are white and assumed to be rich. All that searching, emptying your pockets and cross checking your passport is abnormal. This is racial profiling and it happens a lot in Namibia if you are black and doing things that are considered white.
I see you're a fellow January Aquarius! That's what's up.
Isn't this your 2nd time in Namibia?
Is he still alive?.. Send us a sign man... U alright?.. That ending though.. Naaah man.
Man you visit everywhere.Check out the Philippines.
Hello
As for uber bonus I have 1916 rides so I got nothing
Just move to Namibia already bro, lol
Hey Jermaine, do you travel alone?
Yes
They can search Jermaine all they want. They will never find the drugs.
yes
@@901cali Uhnm 😊🙄
👨🏽🎓
Go to Zambia Malawi Tanzania East Africa.
Not botzona but BOTSWANA
I dont know how you didnt get jumped walking alone that time of the night
Where you from?
Tennessee USA currently residing in San Francisco.
Goddamn bra, walking there alone? at night? when it's so quiet? Isolated? you got guts i'll give you that, i doubt many locals would do that.
Either way great video, and if you do make rounds to South Africa, avoid the big cities and explore the smaller cities and big towns, like on the West Coast or the Karoo, go to the Southern Cape region.
Next stop Zambia
