Thank you Nick for putting so much effort into make clear, easily understandable videos. They are incredibly informative and please keep it up 👏🏻
Always a pleasure Adrian🙂 just doing my bit to help the community
Lekker, bra! I will be following your advice. Liked and subscribed.
Thanks
Great stuff
thanks😁
Your channel makes me want to drive through Nambia 😁
thanks🙂 I hope you do at some point
Fantastic informative video.. i would like to visit this place.. can you just camp anywhere along the coast line as i see is thos video? Is cape cross seal colony outside the reserve?
really enjoyed your travels there i find the desert shots lovely and did you catch any fish?
no I didnt Bob🙈 managed to get some at the Kunene river later on the trip
Hello Nic nice video.. can you kindly advise what's the best route to use from etosha okaukauejo to Miles 108.
Hi Nick a suggestion try and include a route of your planned trip. Helps to visual your route. I know it's on your website. But nice to include it in the video. Stay Safe...Stay well.
Hi Momin, do you mean my route through Africa? its not planned out, i go where the wind takes me. Or do you mean where Ive been?
@@NickfrNamibia Hi Nick, I think in the video it might be good to give a Google map route or maybe on a map you can draw the route that you've taken within each video. Helps to communicate what you've done. Just a suggestion.
Ons het die video regtig geniet, die Skeleton coast is op ons bucket list. Ek wonder maar net of dit regtig die geld werd is om verder noord saam 'n operateur tegaan. Daai mense moet ook 'n lewe maak en is glad nie binne ons begroting.
Torra is only open during Dec and JAn . Dec is very full but you will always get a spot in january. You can book a camping spot. First come first serve.
Ive never tried in Jan. After the 5th?
Hi Nick, great videos! Question on wild camping - everywhere I read that it’s illegal in Namibia. Is it easy to get away with / anything to worry about? Are there rangers in the parks (Dorob or Skeleton) etc? Love wolf camping. Thank you!
*wild not wolf!
Wild camping in national parks are illegal. So definitely dont try it in the Skeleton Coast National Park, or Sossusvlei etc I use this guide. If I passed through a gate and had to pay then wild camping is out of the question, and you will be caught and punished, yes there are rangers. Everywhere else in Namibia is ok for a quick one night camp. Try and be out of sight when you camp. Do you use the iOverlander app, it is extremely useful to find site in Namibia,
Namibia is gorgeous man. Looks like u r on the moon surface
@Barefoot 😂😂😂 Come on
yip, this is where the US filmed their "moon landing"😂😂😂
Hola Nick!!! Wonderful job, thank you so much for sharing with us! Do you think we can plan a 3 week tour in November Namibia with an Iveco RV not 4x4 or do we have to give up some visits? Thank you y aludos desde Canarias!
You can see a lot of Namibia without a 4x4, including driving all the way up to Terrace Bay/Skeleton Coast. Some gravel roads are long and a bit tough on a car, but no 4x4 needed. Extra spare tyre and a pump and you are good to go
@@NickfrNamibia means it is possible to do skeleton coast all the way to Terrace Bay without a FB but a good car with ground clearance
It's a little bit greener here on the Texas coast. lol
😂I'll take your word for it, but it doesn't take much
That's our area boss, Terracebaai in Sesfontein constituency...
Good to know, if I have problems there Ill be calling you🙂
What a place!!! I'm plannig a self drive holiday in namibia and I have to go from Palmwag to swakopmund. Do you think two days are enough for this route with some stops at cape cross, dead sea and zeila shipwreck? I want to sleep in my jeep along the road near mile 108!
two days are more than enough
Do you travel alone? Great content
I do🙂 & thanks
Lekker music
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks Nick. I won't be going there!🏜🌞😊
why not?
@@NickfrNamibia sand and desert
😆😆😆😆😂💔
So u can visit the skeleton coats with a good 4x2 Bakkie with a good ground clearance? 🧐🤔 I thought u only require a 4x4 Bakkie to do the trip
Yes you can drive all the way from Swakopmund to Terrace Bay with a normal bakkie
@@NickfrNamibia i appreciate ur response...I will put it as part of my plans and book accomodation on time
hello hello))) if I drive all the way straight from the swakopmund to this cape cross, how much time do you think i will spend?
and if I drive afterwardsm from Cape Cross all the way to Etosha park? (im watching all your videos to get prepared well) :) thank you very much
from Swakopmund to Cape Cross directly will take you about 2hrs. Swakopmund to Etosha via Cape Cross in one day? or sleep at Cape Cross?
@@NickfrNamibia in one day maybe? if we can reach Etosha from cape cross easily ) bcz I don’t think it’s recommended to drive during night ..
@@iradyachenko1469 no avoid driving at night, especially on the gravel roads. From Swakopmund to Cape Cross to Etosha will be a very long drive. if I was you Id rather sleep over somewhere.
@@NickfrNamibia maybe we can stay over a night somewhere driving from cape cross? Open camping somewhere
its the only place on earth where lions will hunt and eat marine life like birds and seals they even have adapted to time the tides
Salt road, not gravel
where?
@@NickfrNamibia there
