I'm a Namibian living in RSA for more than 50 years, and I have driven back almost every year. Seeing this makes me long to go back - I missed going last year. And after all those trips I especially appreciate joining you on yours and seeing all those familiar stops. And I AM GOING BACK!

glad you enjoyed the video Jonathan🙂 I make videos to provide people with information to go there themselves, but its always extra special when my videos allow people to reminisce about the places they've already been. Hope you get to drive to Namibia soon.

Remember "The Finger of God" Fell in 1988!

Namibia calls you, whether you were born there as I was, or you visited and it crawled into your essence.

This feels so familiar. I am from Botswana. I have driven from Gaborone to Cape Town (approx 1400kms) in 2019 my partner and I drove from Gaborone to Swakopmond, another 1400kms (where I proposed and she said yes). I can relate and like you said the difference is there's less towns along the road driving in Namibia as compared to in SA. We're going back to Swakopmund this December. Amazing coast.

Nice drive, the scenery reminds me of driving through the Northern Cape which I do every couple of months. That Karoo and Semi-Desert vibes. I saw the same scenery in Nevada in the United States.

From a brit in Uk, lekker menheir, baai danke ! I did Windhoek to Etosha back in the 80's, in a bakkie, graded dirt road all the way, Outjo overnight, then Otjiwarongo, 140 klicks, lots of animals to watch and avoid, it hadn't rained up there for eight years !!!

Now you can drive from Cape Town to Okaukuejo/Etosha without a single km of gravel😀

This is so beautiful! Been to Namibia twice in my life and loved the country. This video makes me want to come back for more time. The vastness of this country is so appealing. Btw. The music selection is the best ❤️

I’ve done this trip quite a few times and love Namibia. Looks like a less red version of the Australian outback. The roads are excellent for a huge country and a relatively small population. What was truly impressive were the gravel roads constantly maintained by graders which towed their living quarters behind them. Looks like a few new gas stations since I last traveled. 👍🏻

we are fortunate that our government still prioritises the roads, compared to our neighbours in the region. And yes, fuel stations have been poping up like crazy the last decade

One of the reasons I want to be a truck driver... for the endless country music and most of all enjoy the open road as I chase one horizon, and vanish to the next one. Great video, great choice of music, great narration and awesome camerawork.

I didn't actually need instructions - I'm quite familiar with this route and it's an extremely easy drive. Actually, it's too easy and that's the danger as people get complacent. Bring a friend to swap driving duties if you can. Besides speeding drivers, tire damage is probably your biggest threat on Namibian roads. If your tires are not in excellent condition, replace them before you go. Bring a spare, more than one if you can. A word of caution if you're visiting for the first time - Namibia is highly addictive!
