Elephant highway and the land of nothing - Botswana | Cycling around the planet #22

[@frankawolke1965]

Epic pictures. One of the best bicycle traveling videos i've ever seen. Perhaps Iohan GueorguievI want to see the world: The North can keep up with you. Rest in peace Iohan.

[@DavidCanet]

Please, Franka. Who was Iohan ? Thanks so much. Rest in peace

[@jasper374]

Amazing! How in god's name can you even get sleep while hearing lions roar in the background

[@drumclaypete]

One of the best bikepacking channels out there, similar to the legendary Iohan Gueorguiev. Amazing drone shots and focus on nature with really well fitting music. It’s so easy to get immersed in this kind of video and you finish the video feeling so relaxed. Really great stuff, keep it up. How do you edit and make videos when on the road ?

[@christopherhugh-jones3673]

Amazing video, beautiful photography, incredible trip! Fascinating to see it like this. Thank you for sharing your epic adventure!! 👍👌

[@micheleja9164]

I love your videos and wow they are world class... amazing travels. YOU ROCK!!

[@staifuori]

You are my new Super Hero!!!! Thank you for sharing your amazing journey

[@thomani9]

Utterly awesome and breath-taking. Your videos are so inspiring. It's a joy to follow your adventures 👌

[@bzo1327]

The drone compositions are great. (I hope dji are giving you some sponsorship). You have a good eye for it - and a good ear for the music. The landscapes, the people, cultures, wildlife, sunsets and sunrises and camping sites are so nicely captured and narrated. Really immersive videos, but in this one, the contrasts between the white sands and the vegetation looked particularly incredible. I just wish you wouldn’t ride one handed downhill while filming!

[@cyclingaroundtheplanet]

Thanks for these kind words!

[@karin7765]

You are an amazing story teller and editor ! Captivating us with beautifull (drone)shots of views no one will ever see otherwise! The elephant highway and 'the land of nothing' was sketchy. I was wondering whether you weren't in a shock when you saw this burried 4 wheel drive? Stunning!

[@plofkraak6536]

Impressionante! Good to see you back in good spirits on the way to the cape of good hope. The drone footage is incredible. What a ride!

[@SteveBadger-l9c]

Such beautiful cinematography. Truly wonderful to watch. Your narration is absorbing, and with your choices of music its mesmerizing

[@SheikhAbdulSBasha]

Woooow ur very brave. Enjoying ur life. Great journey. I salute u my brother. Be safe and successful journey.

[@topcat8891]

Fantastic drone footage of the elephants 🐘 a great film to watch 👍 the plastic bag the army gave you from the Rat Pack lol its used by putting cool drink power in filling with water tie a knot at top shake it up put a small hole in the bottom drink the drink at least thats what we did with them 35 yrs ago before mobile phones existed 😁

[@LikeToDrive]

16:07 WOW!!!!

[@jimmccorison]

The starkness of Botswana has its own beauty. Watching I alternated between wanting to experience it and doubts that I would have been able to accomplish what you did. The big upside is, no hills.

[@janbukal]

It is great to hear from you and watch the next part of your great journey! Thank you Niels!

[@LikeToDrive]

Another GREAT video! Thank you very much for sharing your experience for us! Your music choices are just perfect!

[@marcantonell]

Brilliant one more time! Thank you, Niels! Can't wait for the next one. Take care!

[@muddus88]

Nice video Niels. We have always dreamt about cycling in south and southwestern Africa somyour videos are inspiring

[@jurigelato4366]

Amazing episode. Of course Elephants make all the difference for me. But also the loneliness of the dried up lake, the sandy track. Great navigation too.

[@konstantinpanagopoulos9183]

Thank you you are an inspirational and a wonderful young men !!!!! I will make a similar trip to yours next year . Thank for sharing .

[@catchyoulater.5836]

What an epic trip your on. And thank you for taking the time and work to share it. Great videos.

[@arjanbrugman824]

Man, what an epic journey! Thanks for sharing, have fun and be safe out there!

[@Andrew-Andre]

Just incredible scenery! You do a great job capturing the beauty of the landscape and the people! Thanks Niels!

[@abuluftmensch7624]

These videos are so damn good! Im a big fan of bikepacking and DIY adventure documentaries and these are some of my favorites. I would say they're up near the top w/ the See the World series Iohan did. I notice some of the same aesthetics, spirit and even some of the same songs. These videos should have far more views and followers

[@kirstenlila6761]

Your videos are great. You are great and very impressive. l didn't know the makgadikgadi pans before.

[@designermood9943]

Hi .. you are so great adventurer .. really i like your posts .. please go ahead .. and dont give up .. i am so sad about the numbers of your followers !!! Pls keep on and we are waiting for your videos .

[@alexmorgan3435]

Niels, Was wondering where you had got to as hadn't seen one of your videos for quite some time. Can't understand why I missed this recent video when you posted it over a week ago. Glad yourare still with us. You are either very brave or completely mad. Respect to you. You are living life to full. Thanks for showing such beautiful places and scenery that I shall in all likelihood never visit. I don't think I could wild camp like you in the bush with all that big game roaming around. Why did your bike require a new rim? I thought it had disc brakes? All the best.

[@cyclingaroundtheplanet]

My rim had a very big crack, which was going to break if I continued cycling with it. Nothing to do with the brakes. And yeah, I guess I'm a bit of both, brave and mad

[@НатальяБудаева-м2р]

WELL DONE! BRAVO!! WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD!! BE CAREFUL!

[@Gufmeeen]

This is great! You are living the dream!

[@Andy-sj2dv]

Goed zo, amazing journey, scenery and wildlife, what an adventure!! Best of luck in your travels.

[@bernieraverty4319]

Another awesome video…thanks for sharing.Just finished cycling the Norwegian coast and thought of you when I passed the seven sisters mountain range…not sure how you climbed all seven in one day😀!

[@Japio1955]

Hoi…, hoe is tie…, ik begon me al af te vragen waar je was…, het was al zo’n tijd geleden dat ik iets van je hoorde…, super om te zien dat je nog steeds on track bent…, ik kijk uit naar je verdere avonturen…, deze video was weer fantastisch…, ik heb genoten…, goeie reis verder en tot gauw…!

[@cyclingaroundtheplanet]

Hoi Jaap, ik ben inmiddels alweer terug in Nederland, maar nog bezig met het editen van videos. Mooi dat je er weer van genoten hebt

[@giro_del_mondo]

Very nice and epic cycling videos. I saw all of your videos from leaving home until Botswana now, expecting the last kilometers to Capetown! Wish you all best and lots of more cycling kilometers around the world...

[@debsrealm7606]

Your videos makes me real emotional. Because you really know how to live your life. You are LIVING your life brother! I hope we can ride together someday... Not many people share this perspective of life you know.

[@debsrealm7606]

Seriously I've watched you grow from a boy to a man!

[@josemata8755]

Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

[@folkertcupido73]

Nice video again , looking forward to the next one . Was just thinking this week when will we see a new video of Niels, hope your doing oke ,are you planning your next adventure ????.

[@peterkuijt9368]

Wat een geweldig avontuur weer Zo mooi gefilmd en verteld dat je het gewoon mee beleefd Wel afzien zeg Respect voor wat je doet Groetjes peter

[@barker900]

Another amazing video. Thanks so much for sharing. You are an inspiration.

[@briantyhy4880]

A heart of a lion and nerves of steel. Probably a little lonely too.

[@boerinmetkoeien7190]

Nog steeds een super mooi avontuur! Ik geniet van je beelden. Was wel een beetje bezorgd, omdat er best een lange periode tussen de vorige video en deze zat! Het editten zal wel lastig zijn. Waar ben je op dit moment, want je was in oktober afgelopen jaar in Botswana? Ik kijk alweer uit naar de volgende, hartelijke groeten! Oh en een tip, neem een microfoon die je vast kunt maken aan je shirt. Dan is de video beter te verstaan!

[@briandineen7857]

When and where is your next trip....Great video

[@a1yallop]

Awesome video, you really are the real deal.

[@lisacampbell6355]

Wonderful video Neils! Love it! The elephants were scary and amazing. You have incredible bravery and skill in navigation across the pans. Never seen such empty directionless landscape. Looking forward to your next video!! By the way, what are you doing these days?

[@cyclingaroundtheplanet]

I'm back in the Netherlands now, busy starting a permaculture market garden. Editing videos:)

[@buffalolizard]

[@johnwillem9697]

Wat is het daar toch prachtig. Ik ben net thuis van 2300km+ fietsen in Noorwegen. Groet uit de Pieles😉

[@abc-zz5zf]

Epic videos, epic trip. Which drone do You use?

[@abc-zz5zf]

@@cyclingaroundtheplanet Thanks for this. Your trip through Africa on a bike is the next level of bicycle expendition! Enjoy the wild nature at its purest!

[@pauldarbishire7226]

🌍Baie lekker! 👍🦓🦁🦣

[@sageralqahtani8914]

unblivable what u did bro ! keep going iron man !

[@gabrielwalsh8456]

just curious, how much have you had to spend on bike maintanence? Like chains, cassettes etc. How many miles are you getting out of your drivetrain?

[@cyclingaroundtheplanet]

I would guess a few hundred euros for maintenance (tires, brakes, cassettes, chains, etc) I guess I did about 5000km with a chain

[@InsidemeJourney]

Hey jansen how are you? I am Mrinal a passionate traveller like you I just wanted to know that how you keep your data while travelling & how you use route maps while editing? Will you please guide me?

[@nikkster01]

if this is mid 2022 and you are heading to South Africa this is not a place to camp in the bush under a tree or even cycle on the roads RSA is extremely dangerous and the simplest things are unsafe you are very likley to be attacked in your tent

[@Andyfun2010]

Ton völlig übersteuert…. Kamera wackelwackel….
