Namibia, Africa vlog INTRO | Getting started, Windhoek | Flight, Cash situation, Phone sim & Network

WELCOME TO NAMIBIA! This is a very offbeat tourist destination that I visited recently. And I'm extremely excited to share what went down in this extremely adventurous trip. I did an 11-day self-drive camping trip and I think I'll remember it for a lifetime now.
IN THIS VIDEO I'm basically sharing what it was like when I first landed in Namibia. Visiting a new country can be pretty overwhelming. And even though I travel often, I feel like backing out too. But nothing like setting foot in an all-new place, getting done with some basics like withdrawing cash and a local sim and starting on a great note.
Some additional info:
- Namibia's currency is called Namibian dollars or N$
- N$1 = 4.73 INR
- The local sim is from a company called MTC and if you get an Aweh bundle, the internet is pretty cheap. The total combination cost me N$200 whereas just 3GB recharge costs N$65
- I use an international debit card and credit card both while travelling. But I use a debit card to withdraw money.
- The cab that I was boarding at the end of the video was arranged by the hotel that I was staying at in Windhoek. To be covered in the next part.
- Ethiopian Airlines are pretty decent and safe for travelling all over Africa. I'd surely recommend it!
- This video is sponsored by realme. I hope you like the photos from the phone, and can consider buying it if you are looking to get a new phone!

Namibia is such wonderful country to visit..It is one of the most underrated tourist destinations ..Many Indians don't visit Namibia bcoz of expensive air tickets. But, I booked a super cheap ticket for Zambia last year and crossed over to Namibia by land border..And trust me , till date it was the most amazing country I have ever visited.. Just fell in love with Swakopmund , Windhoek and Walvis Bay instantly..Namibia truly gives u a real adventure waali feeling..I am so so glad that u picked up Namibia for ur Africa trip and you earn the accolade for being the first Indian KZbinr to vlog this amazing nation..Kudos Tanya !!

Indians are more interested in comfy trips seeing high rises of New York, UAE or castles of Europe and spending a fortune on B2B accommodation just for a few nights. A few like you are exceptions

[@anshulpurohit9416]

Hi Tanya! Amazing starter video to the series. I look forward to the rest of the videos in the series. However, two comments:- a) Security checks as a transit passenger in any international airport (even in India) is smooth. They hardly ask you to take out everything from the bag. b) Windhoek is a beautiful city. It's modelled in German architecture. Those are just my personal views here. I hope you cover Ethiopia also in the near future.
