Bicycle touring Namibia | Cycling around the planet #23

[@nikokisting6189]

Second time watching your video cycling through Namibia, AFTER seeing your video returning home to the Netherlands. As the tv commentator noted, really spectacular drone footage. With the added music and Namibia's beautiful landscapes, really a masterpiece; thanks Niels and hats off from Nambia. 🙏💖🌄🌍🎊

[@Chukzarro]

This is EPIC!!! wow

[@giusepperossi8582]

Congratulazioni, great video

[@SlobodanZivkov-Boban]

This video is a real masterpiece, not only because of the incredibly beautiful scenery, but also because of your amazing perseverance and energy that you invested in this venture, and the expert selection of background music, which all adds up to an incredible atmosphere. Only someone who is a true lover of nature can do that. I appreciate your work, kudos !

[@clumsytriangle2436]

Sooo LOVE that you have Johnny Clegg on your video. I'm South African and he is one of our country's music legends. RIP Johnny. Forever a part of Africa.

[@Bernhard20Zoll]

Hello Nils, I've done bike tours myself and seen many, many bike tour videos. Your videos and again this one are an extra class. Ok, no social contacts and such but in terms of landscape they are excellent. But I think you know that too. I admire, yes I admire your courage with which you drove through Africa. You are an exceptional talent in terms of taking this risk as well as in terms of video recording and editing. It's a shame that more people haven't found your videos yet. They are masterpieces. Thank you very much Bernhard

[@riverunner9978]

I’ve just found you … Subbed …such exceptional content!

[@resttimer]

Nice views and еspecially your choice of the music! 🔥🔥🔥

[@annerust8367]

Hi Niels, so nice to see how far you have travelled! At around 6:39 you started driving from Omaruru past our Guest Farm, where you even camped. So funny to see this video now and not knowing that you camped on my parents farm 😂 keep up the good spirit! Regards from Namibia 🇳🇦

[@debsrealm7606]

Your heart and soul speaks. This is so pure.... And thanks for letting the landscape choose soundtrack 😉 I don't know what you have been through in order to embark on this journey. But I've seen you grow from a boy to a Man during these videos. And this Namibia video showed me that you've already grown into a grandfather. I bless u as I would bless an elder...

[@josemata8755]

Great views. Thank you for sharing.

[@Cyclingsgood]

Bravo, well done!!!

[@Ok_Rouleur]

Nice to see some new videos. Spectacular landscape, and your drone shots are the best I’ve seen on KZbin !

[@briantyhy4880]

Amazing and wonderful.

[@nikokisting6189]

Thanks a lot for taking us along on your spectacular journey: the landscapes, the drone footage and the music mix, together with sharing your bicycling and hiking experiences and hardships. I identified a lot with your experiences: Was also a cyclist when younger, climbed the Brandberg for my 21st birthday, etc. Found your wild camping experiences interesting too. Safe travels and lots of blessings on your journeys through our beautiful Namibia and around the world.

this is the greatest bike trip video, i have ever seen !!

[@paraworth]

Thanks for making the effort to film beautiful countryside. I’m considering making a tandem bike trip to Namibia with a great friend. You inspired 🙏

Superb! All the best to you.

spectacular , thanks brother

[@benedictedepoucques]

Hi Niels, so enjoyable to admire your journey in this amazing part of Africa. Thanks for sharing this super video. Take care always!

[@barbarakirsch370]

I am obsessed with your bike tour. So well done. Wish it would never ever end.

[@SteinBulgogi]

Dude, you are amazing!

[@saroscuto]

why are these videos not getting 1/4 of a million views within hours?

It takes time, but eventually he will have that, I hope.

[@mardiffv.8775]

Popular people can millions of views and real people who do something extraordinary are being mostly ignored. It is so sad. I have seen it on TikTok; a black American boy can draw the most beautiful drawings, he gets only 86 subscribers. And popular beautiful girls has 4.3 million subscribers and she just films her daily boring life.

[@Thomson07]

@@mardiffv.8775 its about being pretty or handsome nowadays. Nothing else, there are many adventurers that make videos like these that deserve millions of views but barley crack a few thousand

[@mardiffv.8775]

[@alexmorgan3435]

A++++. Simply breathtaking. How did you keep yourself supplied with water?

[@markyeadon7271]

He will either be buying water in the shops or topping up from someone’s home tap.

[@alexmorgan3435]

@@markyeadon7271 Shops???!! He is riding through desert, not even a shack is visible in that barren landscape let alone a tap. I would have thought natural springs.

[@markyeadon7271]

@@alexmorgan3435 He’s editing out time spent in towns. I’ve traveled a lot in Namibia, on his route he’s passed many towns. Spitzkoppe even have a restaurant and bar. There are a few springs but far and few between.

[@mardiffv.8775]

Besides buying water at shops and gas stations, anyone travelling by car will stop and ask our cycling hero weather or not he has enough water. I heard that from another Dutch cyclist who went to Namibia, Erik Schuijt. Erik has a shop of cycling holiday touring in Amsterdam, the Vakantiefietser shop.

[@Slowlifebythelake]

You make great video’s my friend. Impressed how you get the right kind of background music in there. Stay safe and travel wisely.

[@danielduesentriebjunior]

You have a uncommon front carrier system. Usually the bags sit much lower. Very nice footage! I was in Namibia in 2003. Very beautiful country.

[@nikkster01]

I never thought bare rocks could be so beautiful must be awesome by bike as I had to wizz past in a camping truck tour please be careful about the animals we were warned snakes like to sneak under the tent at night and it is a very long way to the hospital with no rescue helicopters in Namibia ps are you going to bike up Dune 45????

Incredible video! Amazing photography and journey. Where are you getting your water from? And food? Would love a little peek into your stops, food and what you make for meals...do you cook a warm meal on a stove? You must have a lot of water to carry! Thanks for sharing your wonderful adventures!

[@boerinmetkoeien7190]

Wat een mooi landschap! Ik vraag mij wel af of je niet eenzaam bent/was, jij rijdt daar helemaal alleen in een uitgestorven land. Ben je ondertussen alweer in Nederland? Of ben je gewoon door gefietst naar een ander werelddeel? Ik denk als je uiteindelijk thuis komt, je misschien wel ongemakkelijk voelt in ons drukke land, waar iedereen zich druk maakt over onbelangrijke dingen. Jouw avontuur is goud, mijn dochter is ook zo avontuurlijk ingesteld. Zij gaat van de zomer een maand hiken door Kirgizië

[@Withycombe1]

Great filming! Drones really make these kinds of films and you seem skilful using it. Must take quite some time to edit? Music is good… maybe a little less music to give what I imagine the feeling of silence and remoteness. Well done!

[@gamarusmarco3576]

What or who would eat him . He’s not allowed into the game parks. The worst he could have come across are elephants in the Ugab river at Brandberg.

@@markyeadon7271 lions without borders.

[@markyeadon7271]

@@frankducett9 I travel in Nam often. Even if you search very hard in the wild north west (Kaokaland rivers ) you will not see a lion. I searched for 10 days to find the desert elephants and all I found was spoor and there are 80-100 elephants and only 10-12 lion.

[@frankducett9]

Different than Tanzania. Bon voyage, go safe.

[@furiousdoe7779]

Watch out with road you take inform yourself before you take it , … i met a german cyclist a few years ago about where you are on a very sandy road who miscalculated his distance per day . He did not have much water left … so i left him all my water . To ask for water for a farm often is 20km deep sand so that is not doable …..you loose time and strength.

[@zid252]

What about dangerous animals 🤔 🦁🐯😬🙄

I wouldn’t give 50 cents for any of the African countries he is cycling thru. Sorry.
