Lovely, well done. It reminds me of that one Tolla story about the swings. The night guard says: Nee meneer ons is blou toe, then Tolla recons, Nee wat jong hier is niks toe nie, start lat ons ry! This is the South African way.

Werner, your cinematographic skills, script and narration are improving every episode. This has been the most professional so far. You have set a new standard for editing.

I blow a 20 liters plastic petrol can once because of temperature changes, filled it during a cold winter day here in Norway, then suddenly we got a few days with 18 Celsius, a change of nearly 30 degrees. 10 liters of petrol lost... Fuel bladders I never fill more than 2/3 to 3/4 full so that the petrol can expand... --- Another great video... I remember the first videos you posted... how you struggled with sand and gravel... and look at you now, just goes head on... 🙂

I really enjoy watching your vids - that South African twang brings back memories and it wants to make me come back home again. Thanks guys keep them camera’s rolling- love it! 👏👏

Loved the Grootberg pass. I would have bought a papsak of wine at the Savemor and used it as a liner for the Desert Fox . Might have had a little bit of a hangover as a bonus prize:)
@thetravelingtortoises Ай бұрын
We already have 2 papsaks that we use as water bladders! But we have not yet needed the extra fuel during the whole time we are in Namibia and we won’t need it now either. So we just carry on without it 😁👍🏻.

Thank you for riding along with us! We have both been using the Anakee Wilds in Namibia but they are not the best in the sand. They do the job but does give a “washing out” feeling in the soft stuff. The 390 has been using them now for over 20 000km’s and the 890 now for 6000km’s.

Stunning scenery, so green. I suppose you never know which way an Elephant is going from its tracks 🤔
@thetravelingtortoises 2 ай бұрын
You can actually see which direction the elephant is going. It has ‘toes’ in the front that leave marks in ‘softish’ ground. Another way that we used to tell direction is the smooth area at the heel (the bottom of their feet are cracked, but the heel is smooth). You can also actually distinguish individuals from their tracks in the right soil, their cracks on the bottom of their feet is like a fingerprint (graduated ecologist here🙈🤣)

That Mama with the whip at the Savemor in Kamanjab had me laughing out loud. NOBODY challenged her authority 😂. Great video guys. My guess now is you’re heading for Grootfontein, Rundu & Katima Mulilo. Let’s see if I’m correct.
@thetravelingtortoises 2 ай бұрын
We had a good laugh about that as well. There were some warnings about that petrol station, they seemed to have targeted tourist there regularly. I think the owners of the petrol station but this very competent lady in charge of making sure nobody is being bothered. We felt very safe 👍🏻🤣. With the direction.. you are partly right! Which part I will leave a secret for now

The Tropic of Capricorn is located at 23.5 degrees south of the equator. This means it circles the Earth at this specific distance from the equator. So, if you look at a globe or a map, you can find the Tropic of Capricorn running through countries like Australia, Brazil, and South Africa. It helps us understand how the Earth tilts and how we get different seasons. The Tropic of Capricorn is an imaginary line that goes around the Earth. It is located in the southern part of the world, about a third of the way between the equator and the South Pole. This line marks the southernmost point where the sun can be directly overhead at noon. This happens once a year, around December 21st, which is called the December solstice. Think of the Tropic of Capricorn like a special marker on the globe. It helps us understand how the Earth tilts and how we get different seasons. When it's summer in the southern half of the world (like in places like Australia and South Africa), the sun is shining directly above this line.
