I'm so proud of you! Anyone can live that same life in Africa instead of the United States. No place is perfect in this world, but Africa is where I'm going to live among my people.

[@omshantipeacehafeni]

I am Namibian and I must say it’s so refreshing seeing Namibia through your eyes. Thank you my Namibian sister👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾🇳🇦🇳🇦💐💐

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Thanks so much 💗💗💗

[@chriscreek8577]

So sad that in aimErikkka they ONLY show Africa being destitute,poor,dirty and grim! Wonderful that you show the better side of the Mother Land!

[@regi3875]

I’m sitting here in America like WOW. If it wasn’t for KZbin vloggers like you and others, a lot of us living elsewhere would not have a clue about the continent. Thank you.

[@Akhi-Mo]

OMG AFRIKA IS SOO BEAUTIFUL WAAW IT LOOKS MUCH MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN EUROPE I LOVE THE WAY THE PLACE LOOK

[@ghetto4na]

I moved with my family from America to the UK 10 years ago. I will say this, you are not "abroad" anymore my dear, you are home 😉

[@pineapplesinla]

barz4dayz 🌬️ I'm contemplating on moving to the UK, near Citrus Heights, PLEASE share any work sites or tips when time permits. Blessings

[@mamahazbaima6732]

barz4dayz can i kindly ask why u left the US if u dont mind? My dream is to b in america and i currently live in uk

[@wanjikuroki2688]

Namibia is beautiful, I have always been fascinated by Southern Africa as an East African ..You have a lovely family

[@kiwishbj1]

Kua proud of kwenu. Hapana lamba lamba watu.

[@kaycee99]

Its amazing that the language is somehow similar to swahili like the name of the two mountains.

[@thatlchiponda3368]

Whole southern Africa it's beautiful,I mean Namibia,Botswana,Angola,zambia,south Africa , Zimbabwe,Malawi ,Swaziland, and Mozambique..

[@mopride7249]

I love these basic videos because people really need to see that life is NORMAL in Africa. Thanks you so much for this!

[@katherinemcconico982]

Hi family! Lance is handsome little one. Your face is gorgeous and you look at peace with self & family! Missed seeing earrings! Blessings to you and yours!

[@jamman8678]

I like your presentation, it’s professional, you should work for some Namibian net works.

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Thanks so much, appreciate it!

[@Militant_Twinky_X]

Your family is gorgeous!! 🥰🥰

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Thank you ♥♥♥

[@luvlapetite1421]

Lance favors his grandma. She’s very pretty. The stores are very neat and clean, beautiful city.

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Thanks so much, I see a resemblance too 💗💗

[@ronniematrix89]

The capital looks clean and well organized 👌. Not congested like Lagos Nigeria or even my capital city, Kampala Uganda.

[@positivevibes2406]

Or Accra Ghana

[@Pk-lx4gh]

One day I want to come to Uganda and experience Bodabodas

[@danielm2715]

Namibia where desert meets the ocean so fascinating

[@narieee2543]

I am a big fan of your channel! - a random Korea guy who happens to live in Tanzania.

[@timcamer4702]

Wonjae Lee Tanzania is arguably the most beautiful country in Africa. Along with Namibia, Botswana, South Africa,Uganda, Kenya, Morocco .

[@CrispyBuda]

I remember coming across your channel some time ago. Welcome back home sister. I don't think there is such a thing as African American, just Africans in America. Good wishes and blessings to you and your family.

[@angedanielzue9800]

Wow! This pretty woman should have been a journalist, the presentation is on point with good communication skills, u deserve an African husband because u so down to earth and smart, i love u so bad, big up from an african brother living temporarily in Austin, TX.

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Thanks so much ♥

[@nickystyles3878]

Namibia looks so calm amd peaceful...hope to visit there one day.

[@hazell1593]

I love watching videos like this. It may seem boring to you but it is really interesting to those of us who have never been to Namibia. Thank you for sharing.

[@curtismuhammad8088]

Namibia is a beautiful country, namibia is a country im considering visiting and living there, i really enjoy your videos I learn so much from your work..

[@lady5692]

Your little king reminds me of my grandson. Have a safe trip!

[@Aeon1019]

NAMIB means ‘vast desert’ ... looks like *vast GREEN SCAPES* to me! Beautiful landscapes! Shalom 🙌

[@callieduval3000]

Greetings from the US loving you and the family's life it's inspiring keep bringing the videos showing us how life can be without all the stress and worries

[@yvettereed2865]

Hello family. I loved this video. I hope to visit Namibia. Have you ever been to Swakopmund, Namibia? If so, would it be a nice place to visit? Look forward to your next video. Do I have to get a vaccine to visit Namibia? Also, I love your hair.

[@mollypohamba]

This is a nice video and you look so happy..as a Namibian it is nice to see it from your perspective.love and light to you and your family

[@4tressfortified]

Lance is a fine young man!!! He is inquisitive, judging by the way he is exploring Grandma’s Bible and examining her picture!

[@jnyerere]

Thank you for uploading this video. I know the day/week in the life videos are usually the hardest to make, so they're highly appreciated and enjoyable to watch.

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Thanks so much for watching as always Czar!

[@diawaraoussey9091]

It seems that both of you are lucky to be together

[@cransolentesswells3034]

Sis thanks for posting. Africans being cousins. The two hills u said amatako meaning buttocks is spoken almost all over Africa, as far as Ivory coast moutu meaning same thing.

[@PrintsInTheSoil]

I get so excited when I see a new video from you! Blessings to you and your beautiful family. Thank you for showing us in the Diaspora your beautiful life. ❤️

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Thanks so much ♥

[@zayloc23]

YES YES YES more videos please!!!!! You inspire so many people in the Diaspora to make that move!!! Gave the video a like before even watching lol !

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

THANK YOU! 💗

[@mfundomgaga2522]

Lots of South African stores in Namibia. Game, Pep, OK and Spar... Interesting ☺️

[@renithabechan7262]

Wow. Lovely Video. Please visit South Africa...come see the beauty of S.A

[@ayobampilo5762]

Yes Game is owned by Walmart, we also have it in South Africa

[@monicanadine]

Thank you for the sights and sounds, you and your family are so beautiful. I felt like I was really there with you all, even though I’m currently in cold, dark, dreary, and damp London. It looks so peaceful over there, and the land is gorgeous. “Lance Cam” was great haha!.. Perfect little helper for mom ❤️

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Thanks so much!! ♥

[@Meli_Mels]

I enjoyed seeing this snippet of your life. Next time share the beauty shop! One of my fave things to do when I travel around the world is go to a beauty shop.

[@naame-owoyeya-malapi2454]

Lance looked like he was talking his father's ear off in the Sunday scene😆

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

He definitely was! Lately, he talks our ears off 24/7 😂

[@CarpeDiem1983]

Awesome video :) Greetings from Sweden.

[@h2opower]

Nice trip. For me anything Walmart related will still get boycotted as I will never let up on them until they go under as they mess up communities by putting the prices low at first until the drive out the competition then jack their prices up on the community.

[@kevaughnrae]

The memories! I love your uploads. Reminds me of my stay.

[@infamousq33]

I just love your son's smile and his innocence. I had 2 boys before having 1 girl. You have a beautiful little family.

[@myrbl30akan60]

You have such a beautiful family. Thanks for sharing!

[@f6876]

Mzungu’s are everywhere wow !!! 😳

[@naame-owoyeya-malapi2454]

🤣🤣😂.where are u from? Southern Africa is like tht

[@naame-owoyeya-malapi2454]

When we gained independence our leaders didn't chase the white people out...there was just a change in systems

[@kiwishbj1]

And they tell you Africa is dangerous. Who's being fooled here and falling for the lie.?

[@jnyerere]

They're concentrated in Southern Africa. Namibia, like South Africa, also suffered a lot from Apartheid.

[@Tuariangamunotjiri]

Namibia has a about 10% born mzungu's since colonial times

[@linahfinegirl]

African is beautiful, small youtuber s let's support each other and don't skip the adds that's how us youtubers grow, show her some love

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

THANKS!!

[@mrhymer95]

Lance is so adorable, does he speak the native language where he attends school or does his dad teach him the language? I hope that not too personal, I was just curious. Greetings from NYC!

[@sonofsoweto]

Yes we teach him, lol

[@Komeshokakunanwene]

He said Tate Wange which means my dad / my father.. The rest is English.

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Eliz, you heard him say Tate too :) I didn't know if anyone caught that :)

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Hiii! At his school they speak English and Afrikaans and at home we mostly speak English but my husband also speaks to Lance in his mother tongue which is Oshiwambo :)

[@aquillaboss]

Y'all are thee cutest family ever!!

[@deedeebak6991]

Being that you are in Africa for a while now, have you made any good friends to hang out with? Do you send Lance to camp in the summer? Or do you have school in June/July because it’s cold outside. Do they have Jamaican restaurants there too, just curious it’s nice to have different foods from time to time. I love your stories of Namibia. I love Africa and learning about the countries there. If you want to watch fun KZbin Woda Maya has a great channel bringing Africa to the world and breaking stereotypes. Miss Trudy also has a cute channel.

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Hi! Yes, I have some close friends but most live in another town. They don't really have summers off like in the U.S. The biggest holiday time off from school is xmas break. They do have school in June/July still. I don't know of any Jamaican restaurants here but I do know a few Jamaicans here! Thanks for sharing those channels!

[@salmimaria8061]

Your mom is gorgeous! Blessings to you and your beautiful family.

I enjoyed every single bit of this as I do all your videos. I am loving Lance sweet, adorable face and curiosity. I also LOVED you and your husband's date night. Very quiet and private space to eat and talk!

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Thank you! 💗

[@technophobe1912]

I love your channel having discovered it this past week. I’ve been bingeing on all your adventures over the past 8yrs. I Love each all your earrings from all your videos. Please can you do a marketing segment as I’d love to buy some, the designs are stunning! Love from the UK❤

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Thanks SO much for the support!! I love collecting earrings and would love to start my own brand! Since my daughter has become a toddler I’m losing so many pairs because she is obsessed with them too 😩😂 But I’ll keep what you said in mind! 💞

[@MrRomario07]

This reminds me so much of my homeland Zimbabwe. I speak Shona in Zimbabee, those mountains, Omatako, is the same or similar meaning in Shona. It will be, Matako, minus the letter O.

[@hopepray1669]

The same with my language in Uganda. (Luganda )Matako minus the O . It’s the same thing in Swahili Matako minus the O

[@virtuousceolady6091]

My family will live in Namibia one day soon!

[@bobbye.wright4424]

Youre afrikan you just got to reclaim your culture

[@freddymaxwell2094]

Wow, OMATAKO translates to buttocks just like in the Kongo's language from Congo, MATAKU translates to buttocks as well, similar phonetic and same meaning. I guess Namibians are the same Bantu peoples as Congolese are.

[@azul7294]

yeah,her husband is from one of the bantu tribes

[@SizzlesDiaries]

The vast majority of Namibian inhabitants found in the central to far northern part of the country are of bantu origins. Ofcourse some words are spoken the same but may have different meaning. In this case the word Omatako translates to the🍑 back side in otjiherero, themba, bemba and oshiwambo languages.

You do a great job on your videos. I and the wife are retirement age and wonder if Namibia would be a good place for us to nest.

[@lyboearth3128]

Keep it up

[@JamConcerned]

Namibia seem to have a very chill vibe. You are out in the suburbs and don't have a car how do you get around since it's a new community with only a few houses built? Lance looks like Mama.

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

We take taxis! And yes, Lance is a male version of me :)

[@victoriawilmot6159]

I like that look while you were in the car going back home. Thursday
