Von allen Strecken dort, war es am wenigsten interessant. Relativ anstrengend zu fahren. Wenig Tiere. Vielleicht gibts zu einer anderen Jahreszeit mehr Tiere. Den Palm Canyon kann man auch von der anderen Seite kurz anfahren.

@ Danke, wann war den das?

@ wir wären eben in der Hoada im Dezember jetzt, hab auch gedacht, vielleicht rein bis zum Palm Canyon und wieder raus….

@@robertbittner9835 bei uns wars im Juni 2021, Hoada Camp war gut.

Other countries other styles, transportation is different than in our hemisphere. It is also common to use motorbikes with up to 4 people. Thats Africa. 😄

😮​@@bluesbrother928

Thank you Sofia, Indeed very beautiful, scary? Not a bit if you have some experience. We always try to avoid unnecessary risk. But its the only way to get to those marvellous locations.

@@hubertakainz1326 Die Berge dort sind atemberaubend schön. Und wir hatten sie ganz für uns allein.👍

@@koensegers1566 hi, thank you, pelican point is not that hard to get to. Just pass the Salt works and than to the right (north). If you follow fresh tracks you should be safe. There is ot so much loose sand as on the south side, but thats forbidden anyway, just avoid going through the dunes even if you see tracks, the sand can be treacherous if you have a heavy bushcamper. Lowering tire pressure to 1.5 bar or even 1.2 helps when drivIng in sand a lot. Engange 4wd of course. At Walvis bay are some companies, which can recover you if you get stuck. We had a sat phone and made sure to have a number for emergency recovery. Have fun and be safe. 😀

Das kann ich leider nicht exakt sagen. Der LC hat glaube ich einen 160 Liter Tank. In Puros haben wir 50 Liter bekommen. Viel mehr war nicht da. Hätten wir keinen Sprit bekommen hätten wir direkt nach Sesfontain fahren müssen. So hatten wir genug Reserve um durch den Hoarusib und die Giribes Plains fahren zu können. Diesel gab's seit Opuwo nur hier - und verlässlich ist das auch nicht (damals zumindestens)

Freut mich das es Dir gefällt. Wir haben nur einen kurzen Teil der old road versucht. Ich habe mich dann nicht wohl gefühlt weil zu nahe an den Dörfern. Und es macht einen Unterschied ob es die einzige Strasse ist wo man zwangsweise durchfährt, oder ob man augenscheinlich extra dort fährt. Aber wir haben dort am Fluss einen netten Typen getroffen der uns erzählte, das er vor hat eine campsite zu bauen. schön auch sowas zu sehen nicht nur "sweety sweety"

@@bluesbrother928 Besten Dank!

We decided to go on, because we felt unsure about the location. There were old signs for a campsite and we thought to support the people. But as we stop we saw a bunch of people with kids hurry through the riverbed to the place. We were not ready to spent the night with a "village experience". And we did not feel safe. So we drove on and found a perfect spot in a dry riverbed. But please let me know what your idea of desert camping is?

Hi, Danke, das habe ich in AfterEffects gemacht. Ist aber relativ aufwändig wenn man nicht dauernd damit umgeht. Wobei die Tracks noch das leichteste sind...

@@bluesbrother928 Danke für die rasche Antwort. Ich hätte dich wegen Namibia am Forum angeschrieben, kannst du dort bitte mal reinschauen.

Thank you, i am happy to share. You need a permit but am not sure if it is possible to get a private one. Every professional tour guide you will come across will stop and ask you if you have one. But be warned, check with your rental if they allow you to drive there, some cars have gps trackers nowadays. If it happens that you get stuck with no insurance.... and be sure to check the tide situation. Besides that: it is a real beautiful place, make sure to enjoy it!

Would love to, but I would have to look them up myself 😆 but I am happy that you enjoyed the vid 😀

I am happy that I could give back a little. It is a very beautiful and special location. I also loved interacting withe the people.

Thanks! Towing? I think it depends on the waterlevel in the canyon. Under the conditions we were there it should be no problem. The passage at 5:32 maybe. If it rains heavily and more water flows it becomes a different story. Enjoy your trip.

Thank you for taking your time to write this comment. Most of the people we met were funny, friendly and very forthcoming. I am glad you enjoyed the video. 👍

Thank you. It really was a trip I will never forget. I dont have the exact coordinates in the Moment, but it is in the area of the Fearless Pass.

@@bluesbrother928 Appreciate the answer! I actually found it. :) Is the road a lot of deep sand that's easy to get stuck in or will me and my Suzuki Jimny be fine? :D

@@sunsetmoose we had a heavy landcruiser bushcamper. Suzuki Jimny? I dont know. But maybe has the advantage that it is half the weight. It is partially sand (not deep), gravel, washboard, and a bit Rocky.

Hi Marek, I took the tour with Turnstone tours. If you can get the permit you are legally ok to drive with your own car. If you plan to have a rental I doubt that your rental company allowes you to drive there. But even if all is ok, i would not recommend it. Dune driving is not as easy as it looks. If you have a heavy bushcamper - forget it. If you have a car with mud tyres - forget it. If you manage to get stuck it will be a long struggle to get free again. The sand is treacherous. Permit ? Rental ? Not a heavy car? Tyres ? Tyres aired down ? Experience ? Than you can try. Otherwise i'll recommend a Tour Operator. I managed to get stuck in sand on pelican point with the landcruiser bushcamper ~3 ton. Took me a few hours to get rolling again...

@@bluesbrother928 Hi indeed my LC will be quite heavy, considering the fuel and water is almost 350 kg or even above, instead of a trip to SH we will go to Namib Rand (this was not in the plan). Anyway, I'm not worried about the change of plans 😁 thank you sincerely for your advice👌 Br Marek

Our Guide - Rudy - told us: You have 30 minutes. To climb the dune, take pictures and then we have to hurry to drive back.

@@bluesbrother928 Thanks for your reply. That sounds a little tme for what I plan to do when there , taking some music videos and such.. Does that time increase for full day tours or the full day tour just increases number of destinations and retains little time at the sandwich harbor?

@@frankmaoro4287 you can only be there during low tide. So the time to spend depends of the general tide situation and the time slot you have at low tide. Its a restricted area. I dont think you can spent the night. But try turnstone tours...

@@bluesbrother928 Thanks for your insight amd recommendation. I was not planning for a night but just thought of sth like an hour even if it on the sand dunes amd not near the concern. I will incorporate what you have told me in my plans. Thanks once again.

@@bluesbrother928 Super, vielen Dank. Bei uns geht es in 2 Wochen los. Namibia und Botswana

@@siegfriedgonser7752 gerne, habt eine tolle Zeit.

Magst mir auch sagen warum?

Thank you, this was our first trip to this region in 2019. Followed by the more extreme trip in 2021. I hope you have fun with the preperations for your trip.

@@bluesbrother928 We have a lot of fun when we are planning our trip to Namibia in May/June. The plan is 99% ready, no south region (Fish River Canyon) and no far north (Epupa) and the rest is similar to your 2021 escapade. Land Cruiser V8 double cab, aluminum cab already booked. Marek

@@lenovoibmr50e LC v8 👍 have a great time, keep me updated 😉

Hallo, Danke :-) , Wir sind westlich durchs Marienflusstal rausgefahren bis zum Abzweig auf Höhe S17° 34.649' E12° 28.680', dort gehts dann nordwestlich hinauf und an der alten Mine vorbei... VanZyls Pass Abzweig ist auf der östlichen Seite von Mt. Ondau. Tolle Strecke aber mit dem Bushcamper grenzwertig ...

Thank you. ...and very friendly people, we would love to come again.

Hi Marek, The CruCam from Bushlore is based on the LC Series 79. The cars at Bushlore's are max. 3 years old. Ours had ~50k km on the clock and it was in perfect condition. But be aware the LC is basically an old car. The engine is a non turboed 6 cyl. 4 liter Diesel engine with 140PS. This sounds enough but the Crucam is quite heavy. Fluids alone are around 250kg diesel and water. On some steeper gravel roads at Kunene we had to go down to first gear. So it is not quite a sprinter. But! After a day or two I got used to it. And then I loved the engine sound and the natural aspirated engine characteristic. It has lot of torque at idle rpm. The single cab also is something you have to get used to it. There are not so much places to put stuff in the cockpit. But again - after some time we got used to it. Where it really shines is: the double fridge setup and electric design with solar and 3 batteries. We set one fridge to freezing for the meat and the other one to cooling for vegetables and beer :-). It has a built in inverter for charging your camera/drone/laptop batteries. Plenty of storage space inside the camper. Very conviniently arranged. And the popup roof top tent accessible from the inside. If you skip the porta potty (which we did) lots of place for firewood etc. Bushlore in Windhoek were perfect. Good communications, nice, friendly, they took time for the handover of the car. Even showed me in detail how to use the hilift - without getting injured! Would I rent the Crucam again? Yes absolutly ! For me the perfect compromise.

First off all thanks for reply So your answer and opinion convinces me, that's the answer I expected 👍 I am not looking for a speed demon but a reliable car with all the amenities needed to travel through the wilderness of Namibia. All the best for New year's! Best regards Marek

@@lenovoibmr50e i am happy that my vids inspired you. You will have a great time, it is a nice country, if you are into meat and braai, i can recommend Klein schlachterei in Windhoek, you can order meat upfront and have it delivered frozen and vaccumed directly to Bushlore. Have a good time!!

@@bluesbrother928 I am a vegetarian, but I really appreciate your advice 😉

hi again ;-) I kindly ask for one more thing.... What camera did you use while driving the car, these shots are very cool 👏 How the camera was attached, it seems to be inside the car. Right? I'm thinking about mounting the camera (go pro hero 10) somewhere on the roof or on the bumper (magnetic holder, high holding force) I like your shots so much that I wanted to come up with a similar way of filming during our trip😄 Br Marek

Me too...(Booze brings out the nitpickers LOL)

Cantoma - Alive 👍

@@bluesbrother928 THANKS A LOT

Thanks Daniel, you are right. I messed it up. But the dark backed wood quail is also hard to be found outside Refugio Paz de las Aves. I hope that there will be more places like this in the future to save nature and wildlife.
