Stunning footage and the music goes along nicely as well! :)

[@hubertczajka2788]

I literally had this video on repeat for like an hour now. What a song as well. I close my eyes now and smell the sand. Nice one. :-)

[@WildlifeObsessed]

Great video,but love to know, since in deep planning mode for Nairobi to CPT: - Which drone were you using.... ? - Where did you Camp (excluding Sossusvlei, Swakopmund etc) ...... esp 4.51 (cool) Thnx a lot.

[@prinsdikzak]

Thanks! 1/ DJI Mavic Air 2/ 4.51 is the Spitzkoppe camp ground, one the best campings!

[@TheCountciano]

I've been dreaming of Namibia during this lockdown and this movie brought me back there. So beautiful.

[@yellfire]

KZbin algorithm brought me here. Well spend 7 minutes.

[@bolla1983]

Absolutely emotional! Thanks for sharing, I cried. Next August I have plan.

[@shelovlm]

wonderfull video et trip. I' ll prepare my trip for september 2023.

[@sbusisonhlapo1915]

I like the song.What is the songs name!!

[@lcvmxx]

Wow wow wow! Thank you for your beautiful movie. We're going this year and your video got me super excited! Did you always sleep at campsites? In your video it looked like you sometimes just stopped at 'random' places, just somewhere in the nature, to sleep. Is that correct?

[@prinsdikzak]

Yes we slept at campsites:)

[@ujuefresan8748]

How many days would you recommend to visit Namibia and Botswana?

[@prinsdikzak]

15 days minimum I would say, 20-30 best!

[@eduardocanut2337]

Amazing video! I went to Namibia in September 2016 and absolutely loved it. One question: Was it difficult to self drive around Botswana?

[@prinsdikzak]

Thanks! It was a bit more difficult compared to Namibia: more off-road & sand roads, but nothing extreme

[@sadjadjawid8505]

Amazing footage! Did you get an approval for flying the drone? I want to bring mine too but i dont know if they will make problems at the airport in windhoek.

[@prinsdikzak]

No was not needed I think at that time, and we were very careful!

[@JaffaNZ]

Nice cinema mate. Wz that a drone at 38s up in Etosha NP?

[@robert_nyc]

I’m doing this in October for my 60th ( I’m going alone ) and hope it’s not an issue other than more costly being single

[@prinsdikzak]

Only thing can be tricky when your car is stuck (so I would say better with >2 people). Other than that, it will be a bit more costly and you cannot divide tasks (cooking, tent, groceries, etc.)! Enjoy!

[@adrianparkin2694]

Outstanding cinematography and, love Xavier Rudd’s music too.

[@henrygreen19]

[@michelmear3515]

Namibia is my next trip. I wanted to immerse myself in the country by watching some video. I'll stop there. This video is fantastic, everything is there. Each shot is a marvel of composition and is perfectly linked to a music that I discover. I thought I guess Tok Tokie trail and dune 45. I can dream while waiting for the next departure ...

[@prinsdikzak]

Michel MEAR it is indeed the tok tokkie trail!

[@westindian870]

amazing composition, highly underrated videography!!!!

Hey Pieter, Knap gefilmd en gemonteerd. Ik ga het filmpje opslaan want wij willen graag in oktober - november 2020 een vergelijkbare reis doen. Ik reis en film ook graag, maar kan van u nog veel leren 😉 kzbin.info Groetjes Leon.

[@prinsdikzak]

Dankje Leon! Oefenen, oefenen en oefenen! Veel plezier tzt met je reis. Groet, Pieter

[@gregmaiden7131]

This is insane videography ! Do you do this by profession or just a hobby? / I’m presuming you have done many a course to get to this level? Very interested as it’s quite inspiring! Would love to be able to capture moments like you’ve done here:) any feedback would be much appreciated

[@prinsdikzak]

Thanks Greg! I am a hobbyist and self-taught. Great that you like the video!

[@manonismijnnaam]

Hi Pieter! Volgende zomer staat deze trip voor ons op de planning. Ik had je op Facebook een berichtje gestuurd met wat vragen maar die heb je helaas niet voorbij zien komen. Na het bekijken van dit mega mooie filmpje zouden we je graag een aantal vraagjes willen stellen over de reis. Alvast bedankt!

[@gowildlife]

Absoluut great Pieter! Love dit.

[@michaelputzenlechner8956]

Hello we found your video pretty interesting - we are planning a trip to Namibia and maybe botsuana - can you tell me something about your trip- the route? can you recommend us a car with a tent? how long did you travel through Africa? it would be really great if you could answer me !thx Michael

[@prinsdikzak]

Michael Putzenlechner thanks! The route you can find in the description of the video: the itinerary is in the correct order. Car with a tent is a must in my opinion, but you have to be a bit adventurous. We had 3.5 weeks, which was enough for the itinerary. Let me know if you have any more questions.

[@capital_privado]

[@fatihozer1836]

Hi, it was a georgeous video! can you please share season of your travel and your guide/rent company information?

[@prinsdikzak]

Fatih Ozer Period was October, highly recommend it because of the amount of people, climate, and prices! We booked the car via selldrive4x4.com because of good reviews of friends, they are an intermediary who booked the car itself from Bushlore.

[@fatihozer1836]

@@prinsdikzak Thanks for information and may I ask which route/days you take and were you happy with your choice or would you recommend another one/place to see? Thanks in advance.

[@nilsschnell]

Hi Peter, nice Video and awesome locations. Was it expensive to rent the car and was it no problem to drive without a guide?

[@prinsdikzak]

Nilsus Schnellus thanks. I don’t know the exact price, but it was okey with 4 people/car. Driving without a guide is no problem. You get a decent gps system, and apps like maps.me are also very good. But be sure to plan and prepare the trip!

[@DriveSouthAfrica]

@@prinsdikzak On Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Would you mind if we cut off the Botswana part?

[@prinsdikzak]

Drive South Africa Hi, what email can I contact you to discuss this? Cutting off is not preferred since it is the total video that makes it good.

Hi @@prinsdikzak, apologies for the late reply. You may send me an email at [e-mail]. Thanks.

[@filipegomespena]

Where did you rent your 4x4 in Zambia? Did u pay an extra fee to finish the trip in windhoek? I am preparing to do the same trip, need some info

[@prinsdikzak]

We started in Livingstone, went to Kasane I think it was by public transport, there hired a jeep from Bushlore. Yes I think ending in Windhoek costs extra, but not that much.

[@filipegomespena]

@@prinsdikzak Thanks! Lovely input. I will look at it.

[@dawnsmith3314]

What camera did you use to film this!? :)

DJI Mavic Air Sony a7 III Zeis Batis 18mm f2.8 + Syrp Genie mini voor timelapses Sony 70-200mm f4 Sony 55mm f1.8

[@jojok2400]

Beautiful video 😍 may i ask how long you guys spent on the road and what’s the total cost per person?

[@prinsdikzak]

28 days for the total trip, 22 days or so with the jeep

[@smecinski]

You would be looking at around 2500 to 3500 euros per person. 4x4 rental-camping-reserve fees-fuel-insurance-food and some activities. excluding flight .hope that's helpful

[@monica120679]

Hello! Great video! Which month did you travel??

[@prinsdikzak]

Thanks, we went in October!

[@sodune7590]

Amazing video! Shot and edited like a pro. Congrats! We’ll be in Namibia by the end of the month, same car, aiming for Okavango delta area. 2 years ago we drove a Ross Namibia and loved it. Just one question about your drone. I thought they were banned from Botswana. No problem crossing borders? I loved your video of Norway too.

[@deepaktanwar808]

Super

Hey! this video its absolutely beautiful!! Can you give me your email for recommendations, if you dont mind

[@prinsdikzak]

Yes, what is your email?

@@prinsdikzak [e-mail]

[@shannonkittner]

Do you have any guide on how to do this? I will be finishing a tour in Victoria Falls, but want to continue on myself through Botswana and Namibia.

[@prinsdikzak]

No not readily available, but very short: create an itinerary (see in description of this video), arrange a car in Botswana, make required preparations (materials, food, etc.), and make certain reservations (camp grounds, etc.). Any specific question you have?

[@shannonkittner]

@@prinsdikzak Perfect thanks! Did you do all the reservations on your own, or with a company? I have found some that put together a self-drive itinerary and make the campground reservations for you, but I wasn't sure if that is pretty easy to do on your own? & how did you get groceries for the trip? Buy enough ahead of time? Thank you so much!!

[@prinsdikzak]

@@shannonkittner did it on our own; it is not that hard, but you have to put some time in it of course. There are enough grocery stores a long the way, so should be fine if you buy food for 2-4 days at a time. Have fun!

[@shannonkittner]

@@prinsdikzak Awesome, thank you! :)
