Although I lived in Southern Africa for five years, but I have seen few places in different countries, I found your videos are very enjoyable, thanks.

[@ChrismCorbet]

Thank you for your comment Kamal, I'm glad you have enjoyed my videos.

I was there in 2018

Now with the discovery of oil, all these towns are about to boom.

I think you are probably right there.

Lovely place I lived there by the nest hotel, I loved your African greys name omaruru I visited there too, enjoyed your video.

[@Kangela]

Namibia certainly has more than it's share interesting people and interesting places, it's we we keep going back. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

[@daveherbst9182]

Makes me want to get to the nearest aerodrome.

[@Kangela]

I hear you Dave👌

[@mieczyslawkuzma3739]

Very informative and well-made report. At the beginning of September I will fly to Namibia, but to take pictures of birds, that means Eosha and Caprivi Strip. Your German pronunciation is very good

[@Kangela]

Thanks, and you will not regret visiting Namibia, it's an awesome place in every way.

[@milesbrown8016]

[@ppoletto]

I don't believe that is the original rock engraving, at 6:44 , as it is written in the current Portuguese spelling, not the one they would have used in 1488. keep the great work, I really enjoy your videos, and this Namibia series is coming really useful, as I intend to travel there in 2022. greetings from Brazil

[@Kangela]

Thank you for that information and for taking the time to contribute, it's much appreciated. I hope you have an excellent trip next year, you won't regret visiting Namibia.

[@stela_solar]

Definitely true, and I also noticed that Dias and Angra Pequena are sometimes misspelled (written Diaz and Angra Pequeña). Anyway, Lūderitz is very charming little city.

[@KarinHelga-zb6rn]

I was born in Lüderitzbucht a year before the outbreak of the 2nd World War!! I was christened in the Felsenkirche, with its beautiful stained glass windows !! Went to to school in the German School opposite the Woermann House!❤

[@Armed-Forever]

great views

They sure are.

Hey Chris, love the videos, do you mind sharing route route from Fish River to Kolmanskop and to Sossusvlei?

[@Kangela]

I don't recall the exact route, we mostly travelled on the back roads though.

[@velosapien]

May I ask what tripod you have there please. Looks like carbon, lightweight , Ideal for bicycle journeys very enjoyable, as always This is on my bucket list as a bicycle traveller

[@Kangela]

Hi, thanks for taking the time to comment, it's really appreciated. The tripod I use for this kind of trip is a lightweight carbon one by Peak Design. It's very stable, compact and quite light. There are even lighter ones available, but the stability is compromised, I've found the Peak Design to be the best all rounder.

[@marietemplin]

Hie. Enjoyed your video. Is Luderitz a cool town to stay? Any worthwhile cafés, a Library and a swimming pool in the town?

[@Kangela]

Hi Kehlani, it's probably not what I'd call a "cool" town, it's very much a fishing and port town, I don't think that there's a whole lot going on in the way of entertainment. When we were there a lot of stuff was still closed down because of restrictions, but I think maybe more businesses are open again now. There is a library, but not a public swimming pool as far as I know of, but some hotels have pools. Your best bet in that regard would be to do a Google search. I hope this helps, sorry not to be more helpful.

[@sigisoltau6073]

We might not have a lot of entertainment, but we do have a lot of history and historic buildings like the FelsenKirche for example. We also have several beaches either on the Peninsula or at Agate Beach. We also have camping areas on Shark Island. Shops and businesses are open again. If you're brave enough you can go swimming in the ocean, if you don't mind the cold. There's also a tennis court, stadium and gym. For more information you can also ask me since I'm a local to Luderitz. I know we don't have much in the way of entertainment, but we make our own. Some of us have been playing Pokémon go since 2016.

[@Kangela]

@@sigisoltau6073 Thank you for this information Sigi, great to hear from a local 👍

[@sigisoltau6073]

@@Kangela No problem. I think we're a bit underrated because of our isolated location. Sure we have a Harbour, road and railway, but we're quite far from the main north/south route from the South African border through Keetmanshoop to Windhoek. I forgot to mention the tours we do, either the Namib tour, or the one going to Bogenfels for example. There's also the katamaran tours to Halifax Island with the penguins. If you're a Pokémon go player like myself, Luderitz is one of the best places for that outside of Windhoek and Walvis Bay. We got the third highest number of locations outside of those areas. The only location we don't go to would be the one at Diaz Point. It's because it's 17 kilometers out of town and the signal there is bad. As for places like Keetmanshoop for example, they either don't have or they just have two or three locations. Now, these locations are called pokestops and gyms and are at historical locations.

[@xmc7189]

​Visited a few days ago. Dissapointed to find no tourism and heritage activities going on. The information centre was closed down. The only tourism & safari company is no more operating? Pity though for such a unique beautiful town with a lot of touristic potential. If you ask around the locals give you a don't-know-for sure reply.

aus is 100 km until lüderitz

Weird question but are you a Rhodesian? 😊

I guess I’ve still got the accent 😅

👍

[@peanib2154]

That’s because they were colonized by the Germans in the 1880s all the way up to 1908 i think

[@hamdibounia]

Diamond colonizers.

[@stela_solar]

Very, very interesting part of Namibia. For those who are venturing out there, I recommend taking a few liters of water and also some snacks for the long distances in the car without supermarkets. 🫶

Sound advice 👌
