SA Ramsar - Orange River Mouth

The Orange River is the longest river in southern Africa south of the Zambezi. At its mouth into the Atlantic ocean, it becomes a typical wetland and received Ramsar status across the borders of South Africa and Namibia. This video will give you a view how it looks on both sides and what you can expect to see and do there.

Thank you to the producers of this video. As an Australian and cousin of a South African born man, I can fully understand the current tension within this God given land. I still think a past visit to Nabinia

❤Wow

thanks for this i like a plain clip like this , just as it is no suggar coating

Oh dear, the use of the IPad is a pain at best of time. To resume, Namibia is the best of tourists destinations, the wilderness area are breathtaking, the people are friendly and accommodation fabulous. Once international travellers are able to travel, do it, you will never regret it.

Thank you Otto, much appreciated. And yes, I fully agree: there is so much to see and experience in Namibia. You can also visit my LensTracks KZbin channel (kzbin.info/door/l7cKxOLPxsHOBLvxD9lgQw) for more from Namibia and neighboring countries.

very interesting video , i hope you don't mind me asking , but what is that tree near the end of the video ? , alot of chinese takeaways seem to have them in the windows over here in the uk , is it a special tree ? does it mean something ?

[@johandeklerk3401]

I am not an expert but it looks like a Spekboom to me. There is a challenge in SA to plant them, for the following reasons (I quote from another source): "1)absorbs the highest amount of carbon dioxide when compared to any other plant in existence. 2)highly water-wise, needing up to half the water of other plants to survive. 3)can live up to 200 years and has the ability to adapt to its surroundings. 4)nutritious". I don't know why the Chinese like them so much, maybe because the like SA so much...moving in everywhere.

Too bad you couldn't hear the narrator. Cut the damn music.

[@stuzaza]

Is the river open to the sea, ie is it tidal?

[@saramsar]

why the irritable "VERY LOUD" music. the lady that describe the scenery is not always audible. it is a nuisance and not art. it spoil a otherwise good video.

[@VleiRatFilms]

What a load of badly made rubbish .. I hope these guys didn't get paid to make it.

[@saramsar]

I agree that this is not one of my best videos. We produced this as part of the SA Ramsar project with the goal to promote Ramsar wetlands as potential tourist destinations (www.saramsar.com). We are not from the Ramsar organisation and were not paid to do it. It was done on our own initiative and at our own cost. Videography is my hobby and I am constantly learning. I am still learning and hopefully producing better videos as time goes on. You can check out my latest videos on my LensTracks channel on KZbin (kzbin.info/door/l7cKxOLPxsHOBLvxD9lgQw).
