Your videos literally are my way to wind down and relax after a hectic day. Better than meditation! Stunning scenery on this one.

[@anniefasano1352]

With this video, you made me forget about time and place. With amazing photos and music. Lovely hotel and the range of activities they have to offer, with lots of great food. And it was fantastic to see how they have developed the hotel from a landscape that looks dead, to something glorious, natural and very unique. So the quote you see in your video really fits the completeness of the hotel's interior. And I have to agree that this was a wonderful sunset, in a amazing and beautiful landscape, which created the perfect images in your video.

[@terryhughes7349]

Stunning location.

[@chuckroelofsphotography]

I am swept away from the noise of my life watching this... As a photographer I would love to capture this beautiful place

[@Lousi234]

I did not expect that there is such a beautiful place in Namibia Thank you for the beautiful cover

[@douglaspeed9918]

I have always had a fascination with the earth and it's desserts, I was never able to travel to these places, my education didn't get to plossume the way I had hoped. So now thanks to you all my dreams finally came true, I'm so happy I got to see it's mightyness and grandeur because of our technology and sweet people such as yourselves who love to film and can. Thanks Doug

It is amazing. How they handle all things in such a desert far away from main cities. I have no words to express my amazment.

Once again your cinematography and music choice are simply sublime. I am so glad I found this amazing channel and can share it with all of you. This is such a nice thing to see after the hectic weeks I am sure we all have. I always look forward to these every saturday and they are a highlight of my week. Stay safe and please keep up the fantastic work!

[@KM-xo3eb]

I'm going to stay there in 2 weeks! So happy you did a video review on this amazing hotel. Watching made me so psyched to get there!!😁 I cannot wait for your next video because we are going to do the hot air balloon ride and climb the dunes.

[@kathrynsweeney1902]

What wonderful memories your video brought back to me of our visit here. The refurbishment looks great. Our kulala was the one right on the end. I see they have added wooden walkways and lights. Had to use a torch to get back from the dining room through shifting sand so thats an added bonus.The outside bed used to be up on the top deck which was fabulous to see the Milky Way - above was a myriad of stars in the unpolluted skies complemented by shooting stars - just breathtaking.The drive up from Swak is a boneshaking ride along those gravel roads but so worth it to experience the worlds oldest desert region and this lodge. Make sure the tank is full and you carry spare tyres and spades. A trip I still remember like yesterday. Watching ostriches walk pass the kulala first thing in the morning was an eye opener. The sundowner up on the ridge to watch that sun go down was magical as was the balloon ride -not to be missed. Up early to experience a drive along the dry Auab riverbed to climb one of the red dunes ( Dune 45 ) to watch the sunrise followed by a breakfast on white linen tablecloths under under the shade of a local tree at the base of the dune.The Dead Vlei ( clay pan ) was sureal. The guides here are very knowledgeable Once you have experienced a Wilderness Safari nothing else compares. The company do a lot to rehabilitate the area -they have dropped the fences separating KWR and the Namib Rand Nature reserve and as such the wildlife has returned.This was a life changing journey for me. Namibia is a rare jewel in the African landscape often overlooked by its neighbours but its a country I would highly recommend to your followers. Thank you once again for posting

Forgive me, this was the soonest I was able to watch this. How incredibly tranquil, although only part of the tranquility is the location. The rest of it is your choice of music & your Flawless, smooth footage. Your trip videos are saving what little sanity we have left lol... Many thanks & cheers ❤

Another terrific episode the visual imagery was stunning and you captured it and the stillness of the desert perfectly. The sunset sun rise Colors! Landscapes like that must/will stay with you for life AND Ballooning too! I can only imagine being there for real.

[@emlynn1004]

What a stunningly beautiful place, with very comfortable lodgings. From having lived in the High Desert in California, I know it takes a day or two before your non-desert eyes start to pick up the subtleties of color and shading which are so wonderful in a desert. You mention it briefly, but I was really bummed that there weren't star-gazing activities. The night sky there had to have been absolutely mind-blowingly amazing. Thank you so much for your videos - I've been 'traveling' with you quite extensively this week :) I don't want to actually go anywhere, I'm totally a homebody, but I'm glad you are doing it and letting me come along. Thank you!

[@skru2476]

Transported to another world. Lost in the beauty and music. Thank you

[@6falconsue]

Little Kulala speaks to me in the same way that North Island does, but with a completely different setting. The wildlife is amazing. Sleeping outside under the stars like I used to do when I was young--also amazing. If it's all the same to you, I'll skip the nightime scorpion hunt, even if it is my astrological sign ;) Sometimes I think back to the 10-minute videos you used to do, and as charming as they were, there is no comparison to the mad skillz you have developed since then. Thank you, Dr. LTE, for this Nimibia trip of a lifetime! Looking forward to our hot air balloon ride next week.

[@omarijoseph3189]

i like the rocks and sand surrounding the location..i like that it has a fully open concept to the property. In terms of security, how do they attempt this? I like that they have used a lot of natural things from the area..this is good so that it gives the property a totally unspoiled look and natural feel when you're there. the accommodation has a simple look to it but this blends very with all that they have done with the whole property itself...nice work.

[@Corrosionchemist]

Yes, sleep-outs are indeed nice BUT (and I’m sorry to ask such a safety - centered question) what about mosquitoes at night? I once worked in Angola, a country where malaria was endemic. One would never, ever sleep outdoors in an unscreened environment! I’m guessing Namibia is so dry there are absolutely no mosquitoes flying around? Just asking. Thank you!

[@luxurytravelexpert]

There is no malaria in this part of Namibia

were there mosquitoes at night? seems risky to sleep out at night, but would love to do that.
