Wow Guys! Namibia is something else. Blown away by its rugged natural beauty. What an amazing episode and camera work was outstanding. 😊

[@fawisontour6926]

This is absolutely awesome!! Fantastic sceneries, great places and pure endless nature. Thank you very much!!

[@thierryfabre424]

Magnifique!! Vous nous faites toujours autant rêver!! Merci Stéphy et Leight !🙏

[@DarthFurball]

Wow - some of those shots are EPIC! Thanks for sharing and have fun guys!

[@mikeg306]

Thank you for your wonderful video, it is nearly 11 years ago I was there and watching this has brought back so many memories and making me want to go back, Namibia is such a magical place.

[@landyandy4x4]

Funny I was there in 2016 and just thinking the same thing 😁

[@porcobene_media]

Great composition of landscape pictures and choice of music. Great work! And of course super interesting as always

[@tonydownunder5703]

Great video guys nicely put together 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👌

[@BobvanT]

Thank you guys ! What a fabulous country - the scenery is out of this world - Loved your escapade in the dunes, amazing . Wonder what surprise Leigh has in mind for you Stephy ! Take care and enjoy life !

[@macaloowify]

I watched lots of videos of Namibia but this is another level

[@NasTimeAdventures]

Definiotely one of the best tracks I have seen for a while. Thanks for taking us with you.

[@jonasfriedli3227]

Thank you for sharing this pictures. It reminds me to my trip around africa in 2009 as if it were yesterday. ❤

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

2009. We confirm, it was only yesterday 😅

[@wildliveunit292]

very cool. great videos. I love to follow your travels :)

[@rainerwaansinn]

I admire your exceptionally good eye for sensational landscape shots!

[@defenderdytoucher7392]

Merveilleux, et merci pour ces paysages extraordinaire. Bon trip, bonne éclate que peux t'on vous souhaiter de mieux, a bientôt .

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Merci beaucoup 😊

[@jackwormald5195]

Amazing!!! Thanks for sharing this fantastic footage, keep going guys, your both incredible 👍

[@donaldridley7826]

Great photography. The colours are fantastic.

[@gerard9900]

C’est vraiment une magnifique vidéo. Des paysages époustouflants . J’adore ces contrastes . Ces vues sont envoûtantes et la musique 🎵 accompagne bien ce moment de détente. Bravo et bonne surprise Stephy. 👍👍👏😘🇫🇷🌅🌄

[@deancampbell1414]

I agree with you, Andy. Only tonight I went to go to South Mole to fish. Gates still shut. Very sad world we live just because of a small few. That stuff it for the rest of us. I was only talking to a mate about the homeless etc that live in their cars etc. Would be great to see like a caravan park type set up for them all to stay for free. . The Fremantle Port Authority solved nothing. All they did was move the problem to another area. Us fishos are slowly losing places to fish.

[@sibhs66]

Incredible scenery, thanks for sharing. Marty from Perth

[@dancouch73]

Amazing shots and really conveyed the beauty very well. Enjoy and stay safe!

[@ranjatsonalain1104]

Hi. Thanks a lot for that beautiful report.

[@henrygreen19]

Very nice video guys ! Glad you liked it as I have been in love with that part of Nam for many, many years. Enjoy the rest !

[@dylanwebb421]

Stunning dune walk.

[@pape4025]

je vous remercie infiniment pour cette superbe video. j'ai passé moi aussi une mémorable journée à Deadvlei il y a quelques années. Je vous souhaite un très belle découverte de La Namibie. Il y a tellement d'endroits merveilleux dans ce pays. Profitez bien😍

[@ericfamilyname9152]

Amazing scenery, thanks for sharing!

[@westaussie9497]

What a beautiful area guys. When the camera was showing the dead tree's on the salt lake. With the sand dune back drop. It looked like a painting, to me. Those wild horse's, are well looked after. I noticed there was a brick built water trough.

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Yes . You noticed right. There is a men made water hole. And animals come each night there.

[@darrengray2309]

I've done a few outback trips you were so right that part reminded me so much of the Flinders Rangers and outback SA

[@coadyg]

Namibia is such a beautiful place. You captured its beauty in so many ways .

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Thank you ☺️

[@ratnadipmajumdar8179]

Thanks for the wonderful view of the mind-blowing places you have shared. Happy journey ❤️ ahead.

[@michaelsecomb4115]

Lovely. Reminded me of some places here in Australia.

[@bxl_lad9952]

What happened to the canvas (or did i miss that in the video🤔), any damage? Hope not... Great video, glad you're back on the road again!

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Just 10 years old and daily use… Velcro on windows not biting anymore. Makes it harder to close and sometimes water infiltration. Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@lastmanstanding9389]

Reminds me of my army days at 2nd South African Infantry Battalion in Walvis Bay, with dune 7 as the highest obstacle course.

[@troulalaitou4566]

Magnifique , merci biz de Guadeloupe !!!🥰😍🤙

[@andreasweber7828]

Totally stunning. Thanks for taking me along

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Thank you for coming 😊

[@war0on]

As always, keep up the good work 👍🏼

[@sandneurosen]

Nice movie! What's that for a instrument in the middle of your cockpit? That wide thing behind the windscreen.

[@Lee_Proffit]

What caused the tent overflow ? You two really should do an overland / climbing guide, with lots of Stephy's photos in it. Going by her video shots they would be awesome as she has the eye 👀👀

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Maybe we didn't pay attention when we closed it...

[@Lee_Proffit]

@@GrizzlyNbearOverland Ah ok. Lets hope that was the reason. Stay safe 🙂

[@chrisworsnop7805]

Stunning!!

[@nickwalker147]

That looks just absolutely awesome scenery

[@rtamang7990]

The episode was great.. enjoy guys

[@rodrigocaroca710]

Hello, I am very happy to see your new routes again, I would be very grateful if in an upcoming video you would show the new mechanical updates of the landy 130, greetings from the end of the world Santiago de Chile. Rodrigo.

[@jamesparkin2458]

A crazy Ozzie from Melbourne created a bicycle race - similiar to Race to the Rock in Oz, but this one goes from Plettenberg Bay via Stellenbosch and ends 2750 km later in Windhoek, mostly on gravel roads including the ones you feature. Its called the Rhino Run. If you want to experience heat, and the sheer beauty of the Cederberg and Namibia, do it!

[@obsessive_doka_disorder]

Been there a few times, your photography is superb 👍🏻 envy you guys 🥴

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Thank you ☺️

[@jamesredgrove6141]

Fantastic episode guys, thank you 👍🏻 Also, a question if you have a chance, with all your experience with corrigations what's your approach to them? Tires down & slow down?

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Definitely tyres down and slow down. So far we've found the Namibian corrugation to be quite tame in comparison to Australia. We also reduce the tension on our adjustable shock absorbers.

[@BaldyViking]

Extraordinary....something I would never see. THANK YOU for sharing your adventure!!

[@bumonthemove]

beautiful scenery

[@JustRovingAround_Disco]

Awesome Landy. How long did it take you build this rig?

[@scidisc]

While you are in Namibia you should really consider doing the Naukluft hike. 4 or 8 days. It’s considered the toughest hike in the world and is renowned. I did it 5 years ago and was a great experience

[@Yanglopezviva]

Awesome video

[@KevIsOffGrid]

Colour contrast between dune and rocks on 45 and dried mud on the daddy was striking.

[@PerpetualPot]

I've travelled in all those places and they are my favourite places in the whole world! You actually brought a tear to my eye remembering the beauty of it all! Thanks for making these videos!

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

😮 😊 thank you so much. It is a very nice compliment.

[@heidelbergaren5054]

National Geographic worthy drone shots !

[@alchimista83]

unfortunately drones are not allowed in Deadvlei

[@WannabeOverlander]

👋🏻🤠❤

[@OutbackTouring]

Whooo 2nd view, first comment! Great episode as always guys 🤙🏼

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Thank you very much. Thank you for watching.

[@bakkiesafari4]

Belle vidéo. Aviez-vous l'autorisation de l'État pour utiliser votre drone dans le parc de Deadvlei/Sossusvlei? C'est interdit dans tous les parcs de la Namibie non?

[@OverlandingShelly]

Great video :)

[@travelbagphotography]

Great video! What lenses are you using?

[@steve2meter]

Those dunes and animals made a great trip. The red bull dust back in NW Aus will get into everything. Hope it didn't get into Bear too much. Thanks

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

We found lots of Australian red dust when we rebuilt the Defender in South Africa 😜

[@steve2meter]

@@GrizzlyNbearOverland 😂

[@AlanAnderson-p3f]

Hi Leigh and Stephy I have been following you two since Turkey awesome content. You are the inspiration for where we are now. In CapeTown waiting for our Defender to arrive. I was looking for a little advice. The importing agent ( suggest by the shipping agent in the UK ) seems a little vague and wants to charge us what seems a very high fee ( almost the same as the initial shipping cost from the UK .) would you be willing to share a ball park figure for your importing costs and maybe your Agent . Regards Alan & Lesley

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Very happy that you are starting your overland journey. Especially in CT . And with a Defender. I m sorry, I don’t have the amount in mind. We used like most overlanders Ducan at African overlanders. All together from Australia it was around 10k .

[@AlanAnderson-p3f]

Thanks guys Still waiting for the Defender (18_19th ) now. I just didn't know how despite all the planning such a big part of the trip is so out of our control. I'm sure it will all work out in the end. In the meantime we are loving our new Bushwakka trailer even if we are pulling it with a Ford Ranger!!

[@p.ashukkur4613]

wow , 😍😍

[@sikanderkhitran8731]

Nice one 👍

[@guydebord812]

C'est cool de vous revoir vraiment dans votre élément surtout dans cet environnement envoutant ! Quelles images, quelle lumière ! Petite question Stephanie, êtes vous allés jusqu'à la zone interdite du Sperrgebiet ? on lit parfois qu'elle serait à nouveau ouverte au tourisme? Avez vous des infos ? Cela dit je n'ai pas l'impression qu'elle soit d'un grand intérêt en comparaison avec la route que vous avez choisis ! Hâte de voir les images depuis la nacelle ! Portez vous bien

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

Merci ☺️. Et bien , j’ai un peu honte de dire que je n’ai jamais entendu parler du Sperrgebiet. Donc non, désolée, je n’ai pas l’info.

[@georgevesely1314]

Hi, As a matter of curiosity...During your travels... Do you make advanced campsite bookings or turn up hoping for a Vacancy?

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

We very rarely book anything but we are usually travelling outside of the busy periods which makes it easier. I don't think it would be possible to travel like this in Namibia during July / August...

[@julienraimbert79]

wow

[@alanbstard4]

i don't fancy walking back up that sand dune

[@warrenpfo]

Very nice. Just watch flying drones in national parks unless you have the required permits the fines are quite large

[@KowieBoltman]

When did you pass here, we are living in Rosh Pinah

[@GrizzlyNbearOverland]

3 months ago now.

[@Toastbrotfan]

Hey, I was wondering what kind of rear view mirror/display you are using? I'm looking for one for my camper van. PS: Namibia is so beautiful, I have to visit some day.
