- Welcome to Namibia! And welcome to part 3 of an incredible road trip through one of the least populated countries in the world. This country about 1,5 time the size of France mainly consists of desert landscape. In the previous two episodes we traveled along the coast of South Africa from Cape Town, to visit the first highlight of the country and the absolute number one sight: the Sossusvlei. After that we drove through no man's land to the industrial port city of Walvis Bay. We spotted flamingoes crossing the dunes in the endless desert and visited pink salt lakes.
In this episode we continue the drive along the coast to another tourist hot spot on the ocean shore. The town of Swakopmund is the most beautiful preserved colonial town, with a lot of German influences. The architecture is outstanding, but Swakopmund has more to offer. It's the beating heart of Namibian culture. We also visit the National Marine Aquarium, some shipwrecks on the so called Skeleton Coast and thousands of seals at Cape Cross. Up next will be Etosha National Park for some safari drives.
Our journey through Africa is part of a one and a half year trip around the world. We can even continue to travel indefinitely. On New Year's Day we started in Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, the Canary Islands. Then you saw us in Oman, Cape Verde, Martinique, Saint Lucia, Tobago, Grenada, the Bahamas, the United States, Mexico, Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands, Brazil, Qatar, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Australia and the Philippines. Zanzibar and Tanzania are already destination number 21 on the big trip. We have also been away from home for a year. Follow us on this world tour, first in Tanzania, from Zanzibar to the safari parks on the mainland and then to many more beautiful destinations in Africa! We still travel non-stop all year and film everything, with a new episode every week. Also take a look at instagram @woutoftheworld or www.woutoftheworld.nl

What a beautiful place!!! Namibia has a lot of positive things. It's clean, beautiful, peaceful, friendly, and many more. I'm from Paraguay and I can't wait to move there. Great Job!!! 💯
Ich bin stolz und glücklich in dieser Stadt zu Hause zu sein! ❤😊☀️🇳🇦
My Namibia. My Country. My Pride. We Love Thee 🇳🇦🇳🇦🇳🇦🇳🇦
I would like to visit. I'm in Canada. This country of Canada used to be nice, cold but nice, until the politicians and W.E.F. and U.N. got hold of it. Now Canada is becoming a totalitarian country. I need to get away for a while to somewhere more normal. Mr Sunshine Baby channel describes Canada's sad condition better than I can.
Keep Namibia beautiful, true and free. 🎉😊
You are welcome to visit beautiful country.
Namibia continues to impress me. Looking forward to the safari next week. Thank you for the lovely video.
Thank you for your lovely video.
The areas of German South West Africa (now Namibia) were formally colonized by Germany between 1884-90. The semiarid territory was more than twice as large as Germany, yet it had only a fraction of the population-approximately 250,000 people.
How did you like the video? Have you seen the series of 4 episodes? Cheers from the family 😁🤙🏻
Worth watching as always ❤
love from Tanzania wow Namibia is very clean and beautiful
The production quality of your videos continues to be amazing. The emphasis on nature is balanced with cultural history. Great ! You must work so hard to make these. I see Namibia in a different way now. Wonderful .
You forgot to mention that Tanzania like Namibia was a German colony too!
Herzlichen Dank für das schöne Video viele Erinnerungen an Swakopmund & Namibia. Die Muschel ein Buchladen gehört einer Bekannten "Margit" Liebe Grüße
Namibia rocks
SwakopCity...the nice dream of... beautiful Namibia! And production as well, thanx!
Breath taking love the music! Miss home 🇳🇦🇳🇦
You know what? Your travel videos are magnificent ! Thanks (what month were you there? Now? August?)
👍Swakopmund has about 20,000 German descendants living there including Germans emigrating from Europe. However, both Dutch and German descendants live in Swakopmund but Walvis Bay is predominantly Dutch descendants coz Walvis Bay was a Dutch enclave in 1700 before the British South Africa bought the enclave from them as a result of which Walvis Bay was annexed as part of Western Cape. Population size of Germans is estimated at 40,000 in 2022 whole Namibia. Dutch descendants(afrikaans) are about 250,000 in 2022.
When all this emigration and annexing took place by people of European descent why weren't indigenous Africans consulted?
@@happydays5218what country do you live in?
@@happydays5218because they don’t care about africans
@@happydays5218Can you tell me a country I the world where indigenous people were consulted before it took place? I am sure you won't tell me any because there is none.However despite our differences we made peace with those who made Namibia their home and everyday we are working towards the wellbeing of all citizens of this beautiful land we call our home.
Waaaoh is sooooo crazy 😜 love ❤️
Great place to visit for sure
amazing i never thought namibia is beautiful
Great video! I am going to Namibia in November and your videos are really helpful! I'm looking forward to exploring this charming town!
I'm watching from Brazil!

German
Early in the 20th Century Namibia was a German Colony. After the 1st World War it became a League of Nations administered territory. Following the 2nd World War, South Africa administered Namibia, until independence in 1990.
Hi Itscyberqueen! How are you? Did you like the video? Thanks for the short piece of information. This information is also in the video right? Just wondering who it was meant for. We know all this of course. Are you Namibian? Thanks for the comment and cheers!
No! Namibia is an African country and belongs to African natives. Not European invaders!
Chewie!🐻😅
😂
nice Kuala Lumpur Shirt
Swakop is the most beautiful town in Africa,,,it 'belongs to all of us', and by the way thanks to the Germans,,,i am not German and i am not a Namibian
Watching from Canada. Avoid coming here unless you like lunacy. It's really politically crazy right now. Channel named Mr Sunshine Baby describes it better than I can. Have fun on your journeys.
😂😂😂😂😂cap…we coolin
Is it totally safe to travel with wife and kid?
Hi Khaled, yes it is. We haven't felt unsafe in Namibia. Are you planning to go to Namibia? We travelled around the country for a few weeks, did you watch my other Namibia videos aswell? 🤩🎥
It's not poop 🤣, "Tsoa-Xub" means anus yes but not literally, it means "emptying" as in "the river that empties into the "hurib" or ocean".
Potato potato 😉 it’s means excrement from anus, so poop. Every river flows to sea by the way 😂
@@WoutoftheWorld neh...? 😂😂the Okavango doesn't though...
Great content btw, stay blessed.
Lol Africa cant have buildings?
I don’t know 😅 why can’t they?
This town is not owned my Namibians but the Germans. This town is known for the m@ssacre the Germans did to the indigenous during the occupation in early 1900 . They had a concentration camp in which they killed thousands of namibians. Today citizens are doing all they can to get this town back .
Similar to the history of my own country by the way 😅 Yes every place on earth has cruel history.. I didn’t see any Germans nowadays by the way. Hope this place will be peaceful and thrive!
i think is better for the future of Namibia to have strong connection with Germany 😊
I am an african born in Namibia, @snkrhead9191 is so problematic. You are so wrong. Swakopmund belongs to Namibia
