Ep5 Overlanding Namibia, Buggies in Dunes & Camping at Spitzkoppe! ROAM Overlanding
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Wrapping up our bucket list time in Sesriem, we were ready to make our way to Swakopmund for a fews off in the city! But first we needed to get to Solitaire and enjoy a lovely apple strudel and a cappuccino! The drive to Swakopmund would take us through some incredible moonlike landscapes! Eventually we made it to Walvis bay, and then Swakopmund. We camped at Alte Brucke for a few days, enjoyed incredible restaurants, and then decided to hit the dunes for some fun! We rented some quadbikes and side by sides, tackling the epic dunes was an awesome experience! It was a great break but we needed to get back to it, and covid tests were on the list as well as getting to Spitzkoppe, where we would spend an incredible evening for our second last night in Namibia before we make our way to Botswana!

Thanks for another great episode Boet!!!
Epic adventure!
Stunning...lovely country Namibia.
What a wonderful episode... I completely forgot that I am watching a u tube channel, it was more like a national geographic or even better.. thank you for such a wonderful episode.
Can’t wait to experience this for ourselves in the new year!

Some awesome scenery right there Adrian 👍🏻😎
Just so enjoyed this episode . You have given me Overlanding Fever ----Standing ovation !!!
I get excited every time I receive a notification from Roam Overlanding. Fantastic series Adrian.
Your Hiluxes would have made a meal out of those dunes. It would have tackled those easy-peasy. My LC80 loves the dunes, and it too is setup for overlanding. The secret as you may know is having the correct tyre pressures.
Absolutely beautiful. Can't wait to visit Namibia

Great video Adrian. I can wait to go on a trip there.
Awesome place 💯
Another brilliant episode.
Thank you doing this trip and taking us all along with you for the journey. THIS is the Roam Overlanding I subscribed for (since the good ol' Jimny days). Watching the build of the Hilux was OK, but THIS is what I'm talking about! Thanks again and lots of love from Dubai!

Great series on Namibia just a pity you missed a dune trip which has to be the ultimate overlanding 4x4 experience in the world .

Another fun episode! I've never tried a tune buggy and even a quad - somehow it hasn't happen. Meaning that there's one more thing ahead in life to experience. Love the nice and chill mood of Your video as always!
As usual ❤️🇵🇱
Beautiful🥰
Awesome episode guys. Your vehicles look awesome. Love the logo
can't wait for the Botswana series
Awesome Vid as always mate!
Wow! Been there myself for most of what you have shown really make it all come back to me. I was wondering how you created the starhyperlapse at spitskoppe. Very very beautiful
Beautiful video, enjoyed the dunes with the Kids a few years back
👏👏👏
Wow I’m enjoying this series so much Adrian, well done. I want to go on road trip to Namibia but with my small car, seeing this series makes me nervous…
I like ...🥰
Awesome episode Adrian! You’ve given a varied overview of your trip including camp sites, a town stop and views of kopjies which look almost mythical! Well done everyone!!
I would Recommend staying at Uakii Wilderness in Gobabis...
Fantastic series, so much so we have decided to head to Namibia as our next destination. Is there any chance you have the gpx file saved you could share? Otherwise my only option it to watch all the episodes again and try ot the route. Many thanks you are an inspiration

That’s so awesome to hear Warren! I am releasing another namibia episode really soon that you might also enjoy! Travel safe! 👏🏻👏🏻
Really enjoying this series. We love doing overlanding in our Jimny. Would this trip be possible in the Jiny considering the fuel tank restrictions?

You could; you just need to make sure take a spare jerrycan or two of petrol just to be safe 👌🏻
Hi Adrian, great series it is a dream of me to own a 4x4 and visit Namibia. Just one question did you guys had to be vaccinated before you could cross the border or were the covid test sufficiant?

Did you visit Kucki’s Pub? It was a bit of an institution when I visited Swakop in the late 80s. We also visited Spitzkoppe in my Citi Golf and slept under the stars. No stop in Etosha?

Somehow you are not inspiring me to want to visit Namibia. The emphasis on your gear and cars and just the driving makes out most of the video. There is hardly any information about Namibia. No real pictures of the quirky Solitaire, just you lot sitting and eating, again, and spending days in Swakopmund and no pictures of Swakopmund’s is just a waist of time.

Our time in Swakop was more for us than for the show unfortunately; It was a time for us to take a break from filming and relax a bit and just enjoy our time without the pressure of filming; I hope to come back some day where I can show it better for you. But I hope you take the time to enjoy the rest of the series.
This is beyond awful. Product placement and the narration is simply a commercial for products. Seriously, a Jackery logo on the outside of your vehicle? A storage system? This is just a info commercial for products that were probably either given to them or they were paid to hype.

I think he always made and makes it pretty clear, when he works with companies. And it's said even in the beginning of each video that this series is sponsored. I mean, what do you expect? This content in my opinion is quite professional and something like this doesn't get made for free and since you're not paying to see this video, the money has to come from somewhere else. And the narration is actually really good imo and even a step-up from previous videos. My girlfriend even sometimes watches these videos with me just because she likes his voice and the narration even though she's not interested in the content 😅.
