As an old Irishman who travelled in Namibia in a Toyota Camry I appreciate the beauty of the desert , thanks also for the use of English on occasion . Lucky guys!! Greetings from Northern Ireland .

[@JorsMalan]

Greetings. I like some greenery from time to time, but also find he desert beautiful.

[@brucebisbey9554]

Awesome!

[@JorsMalan]

Thanks!

[@deonzar]

Hoe mooi grom die FJ se enjin.....

[@reneebrown3766]

Wow, what an incredible adrenaline rush, I now know what it must have felt like to fall in love with desert landscapes, just as Lawrence of Arabia did, he would have been proud of all you guys, keep safe and looking forward to seeing more of the magnificence Namib, thank you once again.

[@JorsMalan]

There was several adrenaline rush moments later on in the trip, they will follow in later episodes, though the camera struggle to capture the magnitude of the scenery. The scenery is incredible, and the dunes scary , even to walk down as will be seen on later episodes.

[@Kuliwa]

What an awesome experience this must be. I had the chance to visit your beautiful country for quite some time a couple of years ago, also got the chance to fish on several occasions, fresh water and salt water. But something like this will remain a dream for me I guess, hard to realize with rentals I believe... Keep up the good work, you just gained another subscriber.

[@JorsMalan]

This is an experience that I believe should be a bucketlist goal. It is not so difficult to do with rentals, there are operators that cater for this. I tried with the videos to give as good as possible approximation of what it is like, but actually being there in the desert is just so much more imersive.

[@Pietcoke1]

Ek ry baie lekker saam Jors. Dankie vir die deel van julle trip.

[@JorsMalan]

Ek het probeer om die video's so te maak dat dit die gevoel van saamry gee, ek is bly jy geniet dit.

[@pietiewalters2703]

Ek ken nie vir Jors Malan as persoon nie,maar n ou wat sy pa saam met hom op n trip vat verdien my respek,mooi Jors

[@mariesnyman724]

Ek leef my so in hierdie videos. Ek is daar. Die duine ry is LEKKER. DANKIEEE Jors

[@dirktheron3425]

Baie dankie Jors, dis lekker om saam te toer, al het ek nie die stuurwiel in hand en jaag die andrenalien so nou en dan nie die hoogtes in nie. Sien baie uit na die komende 9 episodes. Baie dankie vir jou tyd en al die werk agter die skerms om die videos vir ons te wys. 9Km/l op die oop pad is goed!

[@JorsMalan]

3.9km/l in die woestyn was ook nie sleg in vergelyking met die diesels nie.

[@michaellockleymotivational8046]

What an incredible video and what an adventure! look froward to the rest. the landscape is surreal it reminds me of one of the prequel Star Wars movies. Enjoy!

[@JorsMalan]

It was an adventure, it is a bucket list type of trip.

[@michaellockleymotivational8046]

@@JorsMalan am sure just make sure there's always water to fill the bucket and beer to fill the throat. the planning and logistics food wise drink wise and petrol wise must take some doing.... any dates brought along for snacks?

[@rodswift285]

Love it jors namibia desert

[@JorsMalan]

👍

[@efraimcupido6170]

Leka Jors..ek geniet dit baie

[@JorsMalan]

Ek is bly dat jy dit geniet, Ep 4 sal more oggend op wees.

[@abpta1001]

FJ loop baie lekker in die sand sien ek! Dalk moet ons nie praat oor brandstof verbruik nie ;-)

[@JorsMalan]

Brandstof verbruik op die pad was so 9km/L , in die woestyn was hy 3.9km/L , maar die diesels was ook maar 5 in die woestyn so hy doen nie te sleg.

[@JorsMalan]

Die FJ loop soos n jet in die duine, die V6 Amarok oop self lekker.

[@andrecruiser885]

Fj is darem maar lekker in sand. Watse rat was jy teen die lang duin uit ?

[@JorsMalan]

3 de Low range. Jy moet terwyl jy op die vlak is kans gee om ratte deur te sit voor jy hom plat trap. En moenie wag dat die rpm's sak voor jy 2 de toe gooi nie. Op steiler lang duine moet jy of meer spoed mee ingaan, of jy moet by 4000rpm al terug druk 2 de toe.

[@murrayblair2159]

I would be worried about my fuel supply playing on the dunes. Would like to know a fuel station is close by 😁

[@JorsMalan]

None nearby, we had to carry 250L petrol for the FJ and 200L for the diesel's

[@senormystery721]

So. Which is the best vehicle for this sort of trip

[@JorsMalan]

It depends on how many passengers you want to take and how big your load. The Amarok is the best all rounder, the FJ is the best toy.

[@clarencejefferyshoyer]

Ek mis die dae wanneer my pa my vertel hoe sy trip was. My pa se naam was Clarence, maar almal het hom geken as Mac.

[@JorsMalan]

Het hy die Namib trip gedoen?

[@SamoesADIY]

nice video, ek like dit kwaai, eendag is dit my beurt.

[@JorsMalan]

It is a worthy goal to work towards, absolutely worth it.

[@SamoesADIY]

@@JorsMalan dankie, dis motiveering genoeg vir my.

[@markusdippenaar2762]

Speel en brandstof verbruik pas nie in die selfde beskruiwing nie

[@JorsMalan]

Dis waar , maar die FJ het glad nie gesukkel teen die duine nie, daarom nie so erg swaar.
