i like your videos brother,welcome tanzania you will real enjoy
Another great video, brings back so memories of my two week self drive camping safari in October. I loved Spitzkoppe.
Glad you enjoyed it, one of my favorite places in Namibia
I love your videos
Thank you🙂
Karibib grew as a center for diamond mining and processing, attracting a diverse population of workers from across Southern Africa. In the 1950s and 1960s, Karibib was one of the largest diamond producers in the country and was home to a thriving business community. After Namibia gained independence in 1990, Karibib's economy shifted towards agriculture and tourism, with the town becoming a popular stop for tourists en route to the nearby Erongo Mountains.
Yes but there is also a gold mine at Karibib (Navachab gold mine) for years.
As I understand some of the marble & granite is a by-product from Navachab as well
Thanks for the video! I have a friend that had the hunting concession from the conservancy at Spit.. and we spent a great day chasing game around there. His camp is in an area off limits from the public so we got to drive all of the veld around the mts and picnic in some stunning high meadows under trees. Your video brings back great memories of that area. Thanks Nick!
Always a pleasure🙂

Just binge watched almost half of your videos and I'm hooked. Really appreciate the info on traveling Namibia, since I want to plan a trip quite soon. Then a question on your camping gear, are you still happy with your Tentco Savannah 3 tent?
Nick, is there a way that you can share the video link of your travel from Windhoek to Swakkopmund pls. Thanks again for all the awesome uploads.
Unfortunately I stopped my travels there...but from Spitzkoppe its a tar road all the way, you just carry on straight where I left the tar road.
Man, I miss Namibia!
Karibib 🤔
Would not exist if it wasn't for marble and granite. Lovely to see those small places again.
Thats what I thought, thanks Nico
Hi Nick, I went there once and there was thunder in the air, then the next moment I nearly shat myself as a bolt of lightening shot up far too close t me for my liking. Never experienced anthing like it before or since. But I am very wary of thunder and lightening now. Saw plenty in JoBurg but that was far enough away.😬😀
😂not something you'll find a lot of in Namibia⚡️
Wonderful job....keep it up broo....hard times forever pays.....do you buy maps?
buy maps?
@@NickfrNamibia yeah I mean do you buy the map you use when travelling or not?
is that a Land Cruiser
Would the gravel road be drivable with a normal city sedan i.e. a Ford figo or renault kwid?
yes ive done this before with a Polo Vivo, only about 40km
We are going to visit Namibia in October. I´m so glad I found your channel! Are you namibian?
No, he's from a new country called "Nambia"
Just ask Donald Trump 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes I am🇳🇦
😂
Love the SA accent, Namibia looks like it has good roads unlike Zambia where I was from
Very good, I was in Zambia last year so I know what you are talking about👍
In the 70s they were mint, but that was a few years ago 😖😫
The best road in Africa
Namibia is beautiful
Namibia is uniquely beautiful. Fact. What attractions are in Spitzkoppe??
I'll show some in the next video, but people go there mainly cause you get to camp right against those massive granite boulders. Rock climbing, hiking, sunsets, lots of SAN rock paintings, there is a rock pool where you can swim and a few more places for beautiful pictures
The town of Karibib was established mainly because of the mine workers. (If I’m correct) 😂
Thought so as well...
During apartheid, Usakos was designated a "colored town" and was subject to racial segregation policies. After Namibia gained independence in 1990, Usakos continued to develop as a center for commerce and transportation, with the town serving as an important hub for the region's mining and agricultural industries. Today, Usakos is known for its rich cultural heritage, including the annual Damara Traditional Festival, which celebrates the culture and traditions of the Damara people.
Thanks so much, knew that someone which would be able to provide some insight. Do you now what time of the year the festival is held?
@@NickfrNamibia Not sure. I'm still having a look online.
Is Namibia safe?
