    It is nothing but the blessings of God. The dry, lifeless desert is filled up with God's bounty, the water. Thank you for the video. Love from Calcutta, India.

    Wow is all I could say. God is truly amazing. The blessing of rain and just to hear it gushing as it flows is so beautiful. May blessings cover this Nation that life will flow even in the desert places from the abundance of the rain. Namibia, have a blessed year ahead!!

      Ek is regtigwaar jammer om dit te hoor, daarom kan ek geen antwoord persoonlik gee as om net te se dat my hart gaan uit vir julle volk nie, maar asb laat my toe om jou te troos met die woord van God.
      2 KRONIEKE 7:13-15
      “13As Ek die hemel gesluit hou sodat daar geen reën is nie, of as Ek die sprinkaan beveel om die land kaal te vreet, of as Ek pes onder my volk stuur, 14en my volk oor wie my Naam uitgeroep is, toon berou en bid en vra na my wil en draai terug van hulle bose weë af, sal Ek luister uit die hemel en hulle sonde vergewe en hulle land laat herstel. 15Ek sal hierdie plek nou onder my sorg neem en ontvanklik wees vir elke gebed hiervandaan.”

    As a tour guide for the last 3 years I have accompanied my guests countless times into the dry canyon...had the privilege to see and swim in the canyon for the first time in January 1997..also swam in the actual Sossusvei back then.it was waist deep..There were no shuttles then as there are now. We as experienced 4x4 drivers , left our vehicles in the car park and walked the 5kms to the vlei, had a swim and walked back. An unforgettable experience
