I worked at the Namibian international airport and almost all the foreigners would say “we enjoyed “
Namibia is safe , the roads are good and so are the people!!
Personally I have lived in Asia (India) that is when I realized my country is blessed because we have open places of thousands km without people and infrastructures.
Travelled to Namibia. Namibians are Very Good Kind Pleasant Sociable people.
I'm from DRC congo I lived in Namibia for 8years recently moved to the U.S., Namibia it's a beautiful country with great people they have love for each other even for foreigners, I love all their tribes, the hereros, namas,damaras, the oshiwambo speaking, the capriviens etc, and I thank God for giving me a Namibian woman.
Wow.... the land blessed you with their daughter, wonderful.. thanks for the great compliments, it is indeed a peaceful country, but with these corrupt politicians, may God have mercy and spare our beloved country from tensions and wars
Elias Kabamba thank you 🙏🏾
Thank you, love you too
Thank you Kabamba.
Parles-tu le français ?
Our love for Namibia, from India❤🇮🇳🇳🇦❤
Me also visited to my daughter place its nice place
Big up to the film-maker for this wonderful portrayal of my country. Indeed my country is beautiful 🤩 - even I had a culture shock when I first arrived 31 years ago after several decades in exile, having left as a young child. I fell in love with it then and I’m still in love with it now. To all of you who haven’t been here, please do visit, you are most welcome - as long as you leave it in the pristine condition you find it in, for future generations to enjoy! Karibu, Akwaaba, Bienvenu, Shalom.
FROM ALABAMA, I WOULD NEVER HAVE BELIEVED SO MUCH WONDER, BEAUTY AND HOSPITALITY IN AFRICA. NAMIBIA IS BLESSED. TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT. DO NOT LET RELIGIOUS STRIFE INTO YOUR MAGNIFICENT COUNTRY AND RUIN IT FOR THE WORLD.
Too many germans
WOODY RESTER Namibia is nothing compared to many other parts of Africa. Don't believe all what the propagandist western media says about other parts of the world esp. Africa
We Africans are believers, long b4 Whites got here we already knew there is God. Religion has pulled us through the darkest of times in life. Those kids singing for tourists were singing a Christian song borrowed from South African Zulu saying: We will crush and defeat demons (in the Name of Jesus Christ). Amen.
Make NAMIBIA BLACK AGAIN! KEEP THE INVADERS OUT!
Im afraid it too late
I love my country , my pride my country and I will continue to maintain my train🛤🚉 communication as a technicians love my work. Love you'll my visitors.❤
Good flora and fauna in pristine Environments in Kalahari deserts
I live in Greece. I am so grateful for TH-cam. You can see parts of the world so different than yours. ❣️
I think, Namibia's beauty is the best in the world. It blows my mind. I would visit Namibia one day if I had the chance. 💙💖❤💓
you will not be disapointed, namibia is fabulous !
I would visit just as well in a heartbeat given the wherewithal! One of the pristine beauties on the planet and it would find just a few other places of such incredible beauty and grandeur!!!

My family visited Namibia once and we are planning to visit Namibia again. Great Country. Great people. Excellent Hospitality!
I knew about Namibia when they played Cricket World Cup. I saw so many videos about their nature and culture. I have a dream to visit Namibia. This video showed me countryside of Namibia. Thank You from India 🇮🇳
I can not belive Namibia is so beautiful.What a peace, beauti, animals etc. People should educate, and more develop the nation.Please hate terarism, build good realation to other country. I am from Mumbay (Bombay.) India
I wish good Development and Education to namibians country and people.Jai Hind. Ph. 09821844996

visit namibia and spend time with locals. NOT on this train which is a racist white only venture. beware of these colonists mate.
Many people have a bad image about Africa but this video proves it wrong... Beautiful Namibia I wanna visit this beautiful country once in my lifetime. I will surely explore Africa whenever I get a chance in future. Love from India💓
Thanks to the western media for creating that perception. Africa is a beautiful continent.
It,s because it was German. Not the same as the rest of Africa, which is all beautiful, but with serious political issues.
Africa is continent....bad image u mention is deffend the country...
I always find a indian comment ... Promising to visit place ... Or send love from india
Southern Africa is beautiful, more safer thn any other part of Africa
I am from Mumbai, India. I watched this video. It's so beautiful beyond discription. Full of awe. All glory to Almighty God, the Creator. God bless you

YOU ARE SO RIGHT MOST BEAUTIFUL AND CHARMING
Gee, I didn't even notice, about it only being for the rich whites! Trust that to be brought into it!
@@lavishtchana7342 we the locals hardly use the train as its very slow. Tourists can use it.
Indeed!!
it surely is....keep it up
The soundtrack and narration is just wow. This guy did justice to the documentary.
Rating : ***************************
I agree to the full
Exactly
Yep
I agree 100%
y did youtube censor your rating
God loves Africa. Am from uganda, love you Namibia brothers. Your country is amazing.
I am lucky to have visited one of the most beautiful country in the world....and even lovelier people.....loved Namibia 💕
My son was lucky enough to go on a school trip! Yeah...in my day it was some soggy Saxon settlement, or w/e. Anyway, he came back a completely new person.
Any suggestions please how to plan dessert express trip ?
Real Hulk give a rough estimate of your expenditure while there
Real Hulk anybody with an estimate expenditure? watching it from kenya
@@dismaskenyoni2584 : depends on they way one travels, avg USD 3.5k~5K modest budget per month
This made me fall in love with Africa even more
Your a fool, what a shit comment.
My Country my pride , I am so proud of my lovely Country Namibia 🇳🇦 Namibia 🇳🇦
Still suffering at the hands of the colonial power. Germany.
Patricia Agbewornu how ?
Love 🇳🇦from India🇮🇳😊
My parents lived there for 10 years in Tsumeb and I had the privilege of visiting for 3 months. Fell in love with the country and people.
I am an Indian and really impressed with Namibia and its sanctuary of the wildlife after watching this video.
Thanks for giving the opportunity to have a glimpse of this beautiful country.

Like the comment !
Having money can be so peaceful some times!
very true
Right 😀😀
Probably worked their asses off for a retirement like this. Wish I'd upped my game as a kid. Fair play to them, i'd like to cycle it myself, but trains are cool too.
K V Close Up 😁😁
Absolutely
Tour by train is nice, but if you really want to experience the place, 4x4 or caravan would be it.
Driving in the desert...all alone n quiet...its like being on another planet.
Then the heat and sand, u have to make them a part of you to survive.
Sleeping in the open desert, under the clear sky full of stars ....this is experiencing Namibia.
Can the animals attack u and are there any robbers anywhere near that place targeting tourist?
@@georgethadeus well, if you provoke them then yes, they will.
@@georgethadeus No, the animals actually talk over here.
Sounds so exciting!!! The stars are big and bright here in FortWorth,Texas too!
4x4 is nice if you're going to go off-road and don't want to get stuck in the sand. However, a small sedan is adequate since the main roads are good and there are camp spots along the way. If you dress down like a backpacker, you won't get harassed in the cities/shops. Animals don't attack unless you surprise them, and the dangerous ones (except snakes, hippos, and crocs) are confined to the game parks.
What a pleasure to listen to a commentary that is free of Yank sensationalism and corny "jokes". This video is a fine shot in the arm for a country that needs -- and from what I hear, deserves -- the resultant publicity.
The land scapes of this place are so similar to Western Australia it's incredible. Only difference is the wild life.
Beaty ful. Seanary
Excellent video. I had a fantastic time visiting Namibia in 2015. It is a great place to visit. Our guide Victor and our driver James were from Kenya and they were experts on traveling in this beautiful desert country. Namibia and South Africa are two countries I would recommend to anyone who wants to visit Africa for the first time. Namibia has scenery, wild animals and excellent skydiving facilities. Loved my stay in Namibia. I would go back in a second if I had the chance.
Hello Christopher, Where did You RENT the vehicle & the Driver & Guide. Any email address / Any Phone number ? Any WEB address?Thanks

Thumbs up ! Awesome Video. Great job 👏 .

very proud to be NAMIBIAN. I was talk bad about my country and just realized how beautiful it is
It is breath taking country ... Love from Nepal
Are you Muslim saima ?
No,why
@@saimawilliams5835 Saima is a name given to Muslim girls
I lived in Windhoek for 5 years and I also lived and worked in an establishment about 65 Kms from Sousessvlei where you will find these majestic sand dunes. This video and the wonderful narration is a very accurate description of the real beauty of this beautiful country and the people.

Super God bless Namibia lndia welcome you people
Africa is such a nature rich continent. Actually spoilt of choices as which one to include and which one to exclude. Every place is unique on its own ... desert 🏜 or wildlife or whatever .... I wish more tourism awareness for this lovely continent is made so that more people know of the beautiful attractions
I am from Indonesia
Namibia is one of the most beautiful and safe countries in Africa
I hope it is always peaceful ...
Extremely beautiful landscapes, flora and fauna , The red rocks , hills and the blue vistas its a paradise.

What a great Country. What a trip! From Nairobi Kenya.
Once upon a time I fell in love with a beautiful Namibian young lady 🥰
Was there in October 1979 - Was an eye-opener in every which way... Left a part of my heart there... Closest smell of Bush as was in Rhodesia as a child... Climbed Brandenberg 'hills' and landscape scenery was breathtakingly awesome... This part of Africa is magnificent...
Ah! October 15, 1979, a, Monday, that's when I was born. Once I visited Namibia in 2011 I felt that "...I left a part of my heart there", too... exact same feeling
I lived in Namibia when it was still called SouthWestAfrica in a small town, Usakos. Some of my best years. Will always remember those years.
@Dan D 58 mate. My time in South west Africa was in the ealy 1970,s.
I am now in Usakos , welcome again
Danie, Wilna Brits Best years for you but it was the worst of years for our people... we would not like to be reminded of that ok
One of our worst time in history was your best time?
@@marthamendonca6219 were you alive then to know it was the worst time
NAMIBIA !! I know this country from my friend of mine in Germany.. greetings from Bali Indonesia
What about bali, brother???
@@koushikdas1992 Bali is really nice island to visit.. called the island of gods
Dear Mr. Altenhenne, this introduction to the country was a real delight. I savored the panoramic shots in these frames and am keen to travel to this continent once things are back to normal. Thank you!
Great job 👏 .
Years ago we took a flight from Johannesburg to Rio. It was a daytime flight,perfectly clear skies from start to finish. As we approached the Atlantic,flying over Namibia,we could get a beautiful view of the desert actually meeting the ocean. I got a great photo...one of my most treasured photos.
That flight to Rio across the coast of Namibia, Jack Fitzpatrick, must have been amazing! I imagine when I read this something like the English Patient scenes from the sky. ❤️
@@FrauDrSophieLouisaBennett It was indeed. It was February (summer) and the Atlantic waters were as crystal blue as anything you're ever likely to see. Two places to visit that I have on my bucket list are the Namib desert and the Atacama desert...where I'd like to visit the huge telescope complex that's operated by the European Union.
@@jackfitzpatrick8173 That is a lovely description. I probably wouldn't be allowed to go to the Atacama observatory. But the desert sounds fascinating. I have seen the Namib - a friend kindly sent me photos some years ago.😍 Good luck and enjoy. ❤️
@@FrauDrSophieLouisaBennett Hey,thanks! The reason I think might be allowed into that complex is because I'm a citizen of a European Union country (Ireland) and it seems possible that that would allow me access. But could be wrong. :-(
@@jackfitzpatrick8173 Maybe I could marry an Irishman for his passport :-) 🤭
The other side of the paradise.
An addition to my to do (visit) list.
Mother earth is full of amazing landscapes & beautiful people.
It was like a dream watching this 19 minutes clip.
i have no idea why this is on my recommended, but I love it
I watch the seal rescue OCN and realized by watching how beautiful it is. I love these men and 2 women for there persistence of rescuing the seals from the plastic that's dumped into the ocean. I will never be able to travel to Gods country in Africa but can watch the videos like this one that takes us along the journey in Namibia. Thank You so much for sharing this trip with us viewers. God Bless Bye from NE Ohio USA 🇺🇸
What a beautiful experience, Namibia!! Let us preserve nature and all its beauty. Visit this graceful place is one among my lifetime goals. Love, love and love from India💓
I once lived in Namibia and get so emotional when I see videos and photos of this beautifull country!! Beautifull video!!
Yes Roeleen indeed a place to remember. I've been there a couple of times and toured it from Karasburg in the south to Otavi in the north and also the west coast between Walvis bay and then north to the place where the Welwitschia plants can be seen. Visited Etosha nat park.
I had a friend working at Daan Viljoen near Windhoek and my late brother was stationed at Grootfontein. I must admit though it's a beautiful country.
An incident I'll never forget was when an elephant bull, walking at a fast pace, forcing us back in reverse gear for about 100 meters. To tell the truth I was really frightened and my friend, driving, later told me it was the scariest time of his life.
One feels so helpless being confronted by such a huge animal so close and in full control.
Enjoy Namibia everybody bc that place is a feast.
Take care!!!!
I'm in S. Africa
Me to same feeling, after covid will visit
Roeleen Matthee, me too. I lived there from 2014 - 2019.
Theo Le Rou, it sounds like you got to see and experience so much there. And shew! I can imagine your scary encounter with the Ellie.
Greetings also from me in S.A. 🇿🇦 May you and yours remain safe and in good health 😃
What a beautiful country. Love from Egypt.
One of the best journey in Africa....
I always loved Namibia. Even during their struggle to liberate themselves, I fundraised for their cause.
Thank you very much for assisting us during our days of liberation struggle. 🇳🇦🇳🇦🇳🇦
Oh my mother land, love you so much,.

This documentary is absolutely astonishing.. beautifully filmed and narrated with perfect pace, he was so clear that i could understand without subtitles.. that's the beauty of english and most importantly the narrator..

Beautiful landscape. Breathtaking and hypnotising. Disheartened to see 96 dislikes for this video.

Post Covid lockdown. I would like to visit Namibia.
Blessings and peace from America.

@ Yea
@@LFKGooner i say you are a false african,
Hey@ what made you arrive at that conclusion?🤔
@@LFKGooner I was born in ZA and lived in Namibia, now fuck off
The journey of this train, its class, the story of serving food and sitting at the table, the smile of all the workers, these animals and places are all reasons that make every person (writer) visit that spot. Thanks for this great video report 💥❣
I lived in Walvis Bay for 2 years..1970 to1972..in a house directly across from the desert!
Travelled on the train from Walvis Bay to Windhoek a few times and even to Pretoria so remember Keetmanshoop well! Swakopmund also a beautiful town showing the German past! A never forgotten experience! ♡
Who wouldn't love to travel in a nice air-conditioned railroad car with all the luxuries!
Much as technology eliminates geography it has brought to one of the amazing wonders of the world. Keep on keeping on and big up to the people of Namibia for conserving the environment
So very true. And you look so well after it. I will never forget my visit in Namibia.
Breath taking!!!!!!
Really a beautiful country - I was there is late 1980's. My compliments on an excellent video, well done!

Mind blowing experience
I enjoyed 2 trips on Desert Express, from Windhoek to Etosha, & Windhoek to Swakopmund, just prior to Christmas in December 2002. They were full of excellent facilities & service on both + beautiful people & stunning landscapes.
Hey Michael. Was it costly?
what currency you used over there? do you need to bring lots of money with you? what month is the best time to go? thanks.
How much it cost in desert express??
Michael Denne how much it cost all tour?
