- Although sad to see Namtib in our dust; we were absolutely stoked for our adventure ahead! We would be using a campsite called Sossus Oasis, in the town of Sesriem as our base for exploring the Sossusvlei. We wanted an early start to the day so we could see the Deadvlei with spectacular light! Our 30km drive in was mind blowing, sandwiched between the massive red dunes of the Namib desert on either side of us! Eventually we rad out of Tar and engaged 4 wheel drive instead to tackle the thick sand as we made our way to the Deadvlei. As one of Namibias top tourist destinations, the Deadvlei did not disappoint! Onwards to Sossusvlei we would go, for a nice breakfast in the dunes! We would wrap up our time at Sossusvlei with an epic drive through the thick sand before heading back to camp to chill out until the afternoon, where we would head to the Sesriem Canyon, a special little walk through the canyon would end up concluding our time in Sesriem!

The way Adrian makes it feel like one is there in person is so epic.
The landscape is just breathtaking.

Happy to hear that!
Awesome once again
Thank you! Cheers!
“Eat like King!” 😎
unlimited series of videos an adventure such as like Netflix thank you legend 🙏 greeting from Somalia 🇸🇴
Great videos and analysis ✨✨
Great video Adrian. Keeo the great work.
I have a two week overland adventure in Namibia planned for May, 2024. My Hilux is already booked. Looking forward to some of those epic moments you displayed here.
You're going to have the best time! Be safe and enjoy!
Beautiful video❤.. I have just added this place to my bucket list
Love your work, keep it up. Thank you for visiting Namibia!!!
Thank you! Namibia was incredible and I will be back again many times!
What a trip …so envious …2022 for me !
Beautiful episode 👏
Your Videos is a delight to watch...Good Mate...~Love rom India~ ~Namaste~
Amazing scenery! Cheers from 🇨🇦
Thank you! Cheers!
Well done. Enjoyed that you have put the 3 places together in a day!
Leka video. Thanks. I was there in Dec last year with my Everest and walked up Dune 45, Big Daddy dune at Dead Vlei, nice sand riding to Sossusvlei and also hiked several kms into the Sesriem Canyon - a few weeks before it flooded.
Love your videos man and welcome to Namibia , I love your story telling and the video quality. I hope you can visit the northern part of namibia etosha , kaokoland, van zyl's pass and a place called ongongo waterfall.
Thank you so much Josef! We will definitely be back to do the northern Namibia! That will need to be a trip all on its own!
Epic journey. I TRUST U SHUD HAVE INCLUDED SANDWICH HARBOUR ON YR ITINERARY. THE MAJESTIC SANDWICH HARBOUR IS SITUATED 50KM WEST OF Walvis Bay. Its where the mountains of sand meets the sea in perpetually. Its the toughest competitor to Deadvlei. Infact after visiting Sandwich harbour u will tick it as the best natural wonder on West Coast of Namibia. I never went there but I see from tourists.
It’s on the list for when we come back! We had some other plans while we were in that region 👌🏻
@@RoamOverlanding 👍I travelled the route you took up to Skeleton coast and further Up to BEAUTIFUL PUROS CANYON VALLEY IN KAOKOLAND NORTH WEST OF HENTIES BAY AND SLEPT AT PUROS CAMP. THAT PART OF NAMIBIA IS UNRIVALLED PARADISE.
This is epic. Definitely on my bucket list. From New Zealand via Cape Town.
Definitely worth doing! You wana use your own vehicle or rent one in CPT?
@@RoamOverlanding The plan is to build one.
May DM you for tips 😁
02:54 Final approach!
hahaah! :P and I have enough instruments up front too
Amazing. Planning on going to Sossusvlei end of the year. That last sandy stretch, dis you do that in low range? Apparently the sand is very soft there?
The sand was super soft; I think I was in low range indeed.
Hey Adrian, cool video. Namibia looks epic. Me and my Girlfriend and sitting watching the video and debating whether you are English or Afrikaans. I say English, she says Afrikaans. Would you be able to enlighten us? Thanks man
hahah hey Anthony! I am english but having some afrikaans friends and family; so there is a slight influence from them.
Amazing footage. Thanks for sharing ! Can't wait to visit Namibia. Do you think this can be done in a high clearance 4x2 bakkie / SUV ? Or is 4x4 an absolute necessity?
On that particular section you will get a $500 fine for not having a 4x4; so you can park at the reception area and take a 4x4 shuttle to the Deadvlei/Sossusvlei. There were some very thick sand sections; and its frighteningly hot once the sun is up; so I wouldnt want to get stuck in the sand after its been baking in the sun all day :P
Nice videos, Adrian.
How is the Terrain Tamer suspension performing?
Thanks Willem! Its going awesomely! It has been handling everything really well so far, I am very impressed. Especially when I come home and unload the vehicle; it drives so nicely around town everyday; but can still handle being loaded and worked hard on a trip like this!
didnt you know that every rental, from a Uno upwards is a 4x4, amphibian, bakkie, street racer ens ens.......
I think the problem was not the tires, there's a little hole in the velg so the air can go out slowly.
it was in the tire pressure monitor on that wheel; it must have been damaged somehow.
What music do you guys listen to on such a trip ?? Like on the long drives
a bunch of different stuff really! If im on my own though I have Audible; and have loads of audiobooks.
Really enjoying these man! What was the story with the Cape Fox? Trailcam? Such a cool shot!
It was just hanging around our campsite at dinner time! Could almost touch it, it was damn chilled!
@@RoamOverlanding amazing!
What TPMS do you make use off .
Hey buddy they are called nGauge 4x4 by CAWE engineering
If I can throw in my 10c. Had a few TPMS brands on my vehicle and the Ngauge once is by far the best for me. Had 1 issue with a sensor and they sorted me out. No questions asked.
That’s a lot of devices on the windshield. In the USA a state trooper would nab you for that…
I guess I am lucky I am not in the USA then :P
@@RoamOverlanding 😁 Hi, I am still watching. At the point where you wake up to find your tire at .4 bar…
