Brings back great memories . So want to return.
Swakopmund, as well as Lüderitzbucht are most probably one of the most unique towns on this planet. Where water and desert meet.
Swakopmund was an absolute blast. The Desert Tavern bar for a few drinks. Sandwich Harbour was exhilarating. Thanks for posting.
The music just took me. Love love it
thanks Lauren😊
Beautiful content and beautiful country Namibia 🇳🇦 Keep up the great work
Yip, I am lucky to call it home. Thanks👍 for the support!
If I'm able to and I'm pretty sure I'll accomplish it, by the time you achieve at least 35 countries...I will contribute to getting you new wheels just to make you feel welcome again in Namibia. I won't stop watching your content coz you tube pays you a small fee, but that's minimal!
Luv your positive attitude! Excellent cant wait to get my new LandCruiser😁
What a legendary continent Africa is. 🇨🇦🇳🇦
it really is Big Brother!
WOW amazing and beautiful
Thanks Janice😊
Namibia is beautiful one of the country I would love to visit.

Beautiful country and friendly people. Always worth the visit
Yip, my home❤️🇳🇦
A most enjoyable personality and i commend you for all you've managed to do without a gimbal or drone
Thanks David! especially for recognising its just me and GoPro👍🙂
@@NickfrNamibia People always think you need all this gear to be a content creator. Its more so the doing and being yourself that matters and you have plenty of that :) Your production can only get better and better my friend
Beautiful town,
It really is, I love that place😍
Loved it all, stopped at quad biking, hope you had fun!! I defenitely have with al your videos, thank you!!
Thanks Elisabeth😁 you don't like the quad biking?
@@NickfrNamibia Nope, I love the silence and all these little creatures, guess they are wondering what all the noise is about ;)
@@africalisa your right, striking a fine balance between economics vs protection of the environment, fortunately i can confirm that the bikes are restricted to certain areas, which does help a bit, but the little creatures will of course still go into these areas.
@@NickfrNamibia I am more a kayaking type, I love being 'one with nature'. So all noise in nature is like: WHY?? ;)
Wow is nice keep it
This is beautiful
Thank you Sir🙂
loving the music a lot❤️
Nice one i love it thanks brother from canada Montreal Quebec city
Thanks👍😁
Namibia is breathtaking
Thank you Kumuran
AYYY, I see you enjoyed my town
yes i always do, but that was a long time ago
I walked from Walvis bay to Swakopmund at 1am, it aint easy but an amazing experience.
haha, why?
@@NickfrNamibia bad date and i wasnt going to sit around in walvis bay for 8 hours
miss this place so much. im in cape town. i used to work for now-defunked times of namibia but thought twas too boring in windhoek
Its a beautiful place. Last time I was there it was warm enough to swim! Which sounds crazy but it was true!
Lucky, that waters always freezing🥶
Thank you so much , beautiful country . When I retire here in the US in the next 5 years I will be buying a home in Swakopmund, originally from South Africa but have been abroad for 35 years . Be safe and thank you .
Its a pleasure. Not a bad place to retire at all🙂
We are planning a trip to Namibia. Really enjoying your channel and videos. We learned a lot! Keep them coming PLEASE!!!! So Cape Town is very pet friendly holiday destination. How is Namibia? We travel all over SA with our tiny Yorkie. I know we won't be able to do Etosha and parks with a pet. But overall how is Namibi regarding traveling with a pet?
Travelling with pets will create issues. You will have to contact individual places to confirm, but I can tell you the majority of places wont allow pets.
Love this videos and your happy vibes. Would you say Namibia is a good place for young expats? Thinking about moving to Swakopmund or Windhoek.
Thanks 😊
One of the better in Africa...probably depends on where you are from? things are a lot slower and you need to get used to not getting everything you are used to
Ich komme am 27. Oktober nach Namibia. Ich freue mich schon sehr.
Been there🇧🇼
and you liked it?
can you share your music playlist. top stuff lol
Ill try and make time🙂 and have a look in my old folders
Wow, I enjoy the music what's the name
This should be called "outside activities in the Erongo coast". I look forward to a video actually in Swakopmund.
more than half of that video is in Swakopmund and the rest in close vicinity. Not the Erongo coast. I am a Namibian, this is my country, and if you want me to explain to you what the Erongo coast is I will gladly do it. Thanks for watching!
Don't/can't drink Water....draught beers are the best there....
Walvis Bay was a disappointment after staying in Swakop....
Namibia is very fascinating though, wherever one goes ... went in October and was very hot....
Would recommend it at a shot! pastries are tops .....
Sir where can I get all the music you play I really enjoy it
I get the music from Epidemic Sound
Take me with youuuuuu🤗😔
ok, just bring money😂
@@NickfrNamibia how much to travel with you ?I'm in swakopmund,young female
Your 'music' team may not realize it but the music you're playing sounds like a 'take off' from Simon & Garfunkel's 'The Boxer' only you don't get to the Chorus.
I'll check👍 the music is supplied independently and approved for online use. Trust me, TH-cam will strike it immediately if there's an issue. Love that song by the way!
wil graag uitvind, wat het jy maar alles nodig om oor die gren te gaan na Namibia toe veral as jou voertuig bv nog nie klaar betaal is nie. Kan jy met ZAR ook betaal? jammer sal my eerste trip daarheen wees en ek wil geen probleme he nie. Dankie
Hi Roelene, dis moeilik want tans verander alles so vinnig. Is jy op facebook? hierdie is die Padlangs in namibie groep, alles is altyd op datum facebook.com/groups/265461873900547 Maak net seker daar. 1. n brief van die bank wat toestemming gee met die datums 2. registrasie papiere/disc 3. virsekering brief 4. paspoort & bestuurslisensie. Nie seker oor wat die situasie tans is met covid nie
Missing my Africa. Browsing some videos and stumbled across a familiar face.
awh sad, Africa will always be here🙂 hope you are doing well that side
Any nightlife? In Asia can be pretty good...
not sure how much of the nightlife survived after covid
Ek wil graag vanaf kaapstad na Windhoek met n 2x4 fortuner en Kamp waaintjie toer deur swakopmunt. Die vaag is watter roete met kampeer geriewe. Dankie
In Namibia? Jy kan heelpad teerpad ry, Whk dan Swakopmund. Of jy kan via Sossusvlei, die agter pad/grondpadna walvis vat. Geen probleem met die 2x4 Fortuner, hoe sterk is die sleepwaentjie? As jy op facebook is, kyk na hierdie groepe: Padlangs in Namibie | Camping in Namibia | DriveNam
@@NickfrNamibia Baie dankie, dit is n off road sleep wa
Walfish Bay 😂
How is journalism in Namibia? And do journalists get good salaries?
Sorry Ngala, no idea.
In case of a trip in Namibia I only want you as a guide
haha, thanks🙂
What was suspicious at the bottom?? You didnt say
there were some guys hanging out there watching me....they do this, wait for you to go to the top of the dune and then break into your vehicle. I didnt want to take the risk. As soon as I came down, the left as well. Very suspicious
@@NickfrNamibia ohh good to know
Are you Namibian?
The British still don't want to hand over Gibraltar to Spain, so maybe South Africa should have held on to Walvis Bay a bit longer.
😂and if we started a war and beat SA?
Strange thing is SA never colonized Namibia
@@messetjituri6443
Namibia was colonized by the Germans and was known as Duitswes Afrika (German West Africa) but placed under the administration of South Africa after Germany lost WW1.
By far not the highest. Two three dunes behind d7 you will see very high dunes❤
The first thing Mandela did after becoming president was to excuse his wife from her involvement with the kidnapping and murder of Stompie Seipei, a 14 year old black boy. Not handing Walvis Bay to Namibia.
You are most likely right and I wont disagree with you, I definitely don't know exactly what the first thing is he did. That's why I said one of the first things...the devil is in the detail. There was a list of initial corrections Mandela made, the handover was not immediate, but the fact that SA became democratic in 1994 and Walvis Bay handed back in the same year is evidence of the priority this matter took.
Yes Mandela had no power to act until 1994 since he was not head of state though his stance was very clear on Walvis Bay. . So it's therefore realistic to know that handover of Walvis Bay officially took place sametime when there was government changeover in SA in 1994.
He said one of the first things he did.
SA hung onto Walvis Bay as it was considered a national key point at that stage...for military purposes
I would rather go to Nambia. Please take us to Nambia.
