[@robertstadler8275]

Namibia's best ambassador 👏

[@NickfrNamibia]

Haha, thanks Robert

[@robdotcom71]

I watched itchy boots travel through Namibia (and the rest of southern Africa) and I have fallen in love... I must come one day.....

[@NickfrNamibia]

You must, especially Namibia❤️🇳🇦

[@newmanmainza3801]

Watching from Zambia Livingstone 🇿🇲

[@NickfrNamibia]

Thanks for the support👍😁

[@Aetheridon]

Great video as always!

[@NickfrNamibia]

Thank you👍🙂

[@petervosloo8598]

Lekker om die taal te hoor. I've been to the meteorite didn't know about the echo. Nice video.

[@NickfrNamibia]

Also only recently learned this. Not that distinct though...probably more of a tourist gimmick than actual echo... i think....

[@charlesmumba4756]

Good to see you back on the road now we can look forward to your detailed videos

[@NickfrNamibia]

Thanks Charles👍🙂

[@kabeloselowa]

Hello Nick thanks for the consistency in your content...we missed you when you were not uploading.

[@NickfrNamibia]

thanks Kabelo🙂👍

[@hoodyr6799]

YSTER Nick, blerrie lekka my friend! Just loving that vineyard camp site as well mate 👌

[@NickfrNamibia]

thanks, just happy to be back on the road👍😁

[@pbockhorst]

Hello from the United States. Another great video! The lesser known towns/site are always fun to learn about. Very good info about the lettering of the roads (ABCD).

[@NickfrNamibia]

Glad I could help Paul👍🙂

[@stefanbraam4511]

Thanks for explaining the A,B,C,D road numbering logic. This will definitely help us navigate Namibia next trip. in addition to the A,B,C,D roads I also see some M roads in Namibia. Where are they on your scale? Thanks Nick!

[@NickfrNamibia]

M is the one that gets me. In know the C24 turns into the M47. So that is an old C road, but Ive seen them elsewhere where I dont think they are up to C quality. Not many of them, but I'll try and find out. You'll also see P roads, which are "Private" farm roads and you can expect locked gates. So dont use them.

[@magicworldbyjorg]

...cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…

[@NickfrNamibia]

Thanks and always a pleasure👍👍

[@magicworldbyjorg]

@@NickfrNamibia Thank you very mutch... have a nice day.... see you….

[@maxlodewyk_na]

Great to see my town featured. Was born and raised in Grootfontein. It’s a pity the local municipality cares nothing with developing our town.

[@NickfrNamibia]

Yip, the next video will show a lot more of Grootfontein

[@endless-tracks]

Hi Nic Great movie, I was there a month ago, but the price for foreigners is exorbitant. Looking forward to travel together in a few month

[@NickfrNamibia]

Crazy right, 10 x more than locals and I dont feel that price justifies what you are getting

[@CalebadventuresZM]

Thanks man...I strongly feel I must take a trip to Namibia. All the best

[@NickfrNamibia]

You certainly must Sir

[@sedzesanimathavha9939]

Great video Danko Nick

[@NickfrNamibia]

Pleasure👍

[@sichombes]

Top channels... Mark wiens Stricly dumplin 5410Africa Best ever review show In no particular order

[@NickfrNamibia]

Thanks Sir👍

[@stuartrollings602]

Thanks again Nick! Watching from Texas again! Thanks for the road numbering explanation and the town by town amenities..the hardest part of travel in Africa is trusting the info you get online is still actually current. Really enjoy your style. Maybe one suggestion - when traveling through an area if you know what wildlife are around that region or what you may see when camping…not game parks necessarily as that is pretty easy to find out. Ex- we were told there were no lions around and found about that they were indeed around in the middle of the night…same with elephants! Thanks

[@NickfrNamibia]

Ill try and incorporate that for you, can tell you now that it will very rarely happen on campsites in Namibia...Botswana is a different story🦁🤣 Thats's the idea of the channel, information and then for you to see that for yourself, just in case I explain it badly. Glad you get it and appreciate what Im trying to do.

[@robhirons4333]

Nick, really enjoy your videos and will be doing similar shortly but not as long! Can I suggest always start your video with a date or time stamp. This will enable people to "see" the time of year. Which as I am sure you are aware is important when deciding to travel or not as the case may be. Thanks and keep up the great work!

[@NickfrNamibia]

I will do that for you, thanks for watching👍🙂

[@Michaelfay441]

You didnt show ur hometown looking forward to watching ...namibia is awesome place

[@NickfrNamibia]

Next video...

[@2147B]

kind of scary to see one that large intact sitting on the ground like its nothing.. Imagine how big this behemoth was before it entered our atmosphere? jeeesh...

[@salimmetin]

Almachtig, prachtig.. it is from Dutch.. (the Netherlands)

[@NickfrNamibia]

Yip, we also use it in the local Afrikaans language

[@CharlesRanger4x4]

I have been at the meteorite before with my dad

[@robharrison6918]

I’m going to drop in at meteorite and will have to stump up the $250 that’s a hell of a jump. I may just send the boys in with a camera 😂 thank you such good content 👍

[@NickfrNamibia]

Yeah its a bit rough for what you get

[@robharrison6918]

I was very naughty and said I was living and working in CapeTown with my family. It was worth the visit but not at full price 😊 I’m very cheeky. My youngest son wanted to know how I came up with an address so quickly 😂😂.

[@Getouttahere78]

Last time I saw the meteorite was in 1981. Definitely wasn't commercialized then ‼️

[@NickfrNamibia]

All about the money now, and tourists pay 10 x more than locals

[@Getouttahere78]

@@NickfrNamibia sure way to get rid of the tourists

[@NickfrNamibia]

it is

[@marschlionoalexander8498]

What camera equipment do you use for your videos?

[@NickfrNamibia]

GoPro's (2x8 and a 10) mostly and I have a Canon M50 MkII. It takes a while to learn all the tricks with the GoPro but you can do a lot with it as long as you understand its limitations. Poor light is probably the biggest.

[@marschlionoalexander8498]

@@NickfrNamibia Thanks! besides poor lighting, would you recommend a action camera over a standard digital camera? for youtube traveling videos?

[@NickfrNamibia]

it's so difficult to answer that one...if you take the time and have the patience for a digital camera, id say go that route.

[@cyberconversations]

Thanks!

[@NickfrNamibia]

Thanks for the dontation John, much appreciated🙏

[@cyberconversations]

It's a pleasure to see all those places again through your lense Nick. Keep up the good work.

[@poiterkatane6849]

is the uploads daily? we were entertained last night 😂😂 Thanks for explaining all in great detail... yer we thought the meteorite was gonna be very huge 😂😂 but im sure it is in person

[@NickfrNamibia]

No, I wish I could upload daily. I try a video every 4 videos. Still the biggest in the world, that is what counts😂

[@robbiedeka868]

Hello Nic! where can I get the camping in Namibia map?

[@NickfrNamibia]

Cymot, Safari Den at Agra, Book Den in Windhoek, Buschwackers. We are working on an online edition that you can download before coming to Namibia and then collect a hardcopy once you are here.

[@benjioel]

Yes there is. Portable, you can pot it. Drinkable, you. Can drink the water.

[@NickfrNamibia]

haha, ok

[@rebecca_r]

Do they rental car companies cover you if you drive on the D roads? Iceland would not cover me on F roads. Thank you

[@NickfrNamibia]

Yes they will. It is considered part of the road network

[@phelansa23]

Why do meteorites keep crashing into craters?

[@NickfrNamibia]

Good question🤔

[@mduduziqwabe7136]

Do i still need vaccine test or any proof to come to Namibia and Botswana?

[@nthasilo6769]

In Botswana, not anymore.

[@NickfrNamibia]

No

[@andrewtothgp]

As a South African living in the US. I do enjoy the episodes... but the music. I fast forward through that. Sorry China.

[@charlesmumba4756]

Good to see you back on the road now we can look forward to your detailed videos
