I'm a Namibian living in RSA for more than 50 years, and I have driven back almost every year. Seeing this makes me long to go back - I missed going last year. And after all those trips I especially appreciate joining you on yours and seeing all those familiar stops. And I AM GOING BACK!
glad you enjoyed the video Jonathan🙂 I make videos to provide people with information to go there themselves, but its always extra special when my videos allow people to reminisce about the places they've already been. Hope you get to drive to Namibia soon.
This feels so familiar. I am from Botswana. I have driven from Gaborone to Cape Town (approx 1400kms) in 2019 my partner and I drove from Gaborone to Swakopmond, another 1400kms (where I proposed and she said yes). I can relate and like you said the difference is there's less towns along the road driving in Namibia as compared to in SA. We're going back to Swakopmund this December. Amazing coast.
Nice drive, the scenery reminds me of driving through the Northern Cape which I do every couple of months. That Karoo and Semi-Desert vibes. I saw the same scenery in Nevada in the United States.
As a Capetonian, I would really love to do this road trip trip on the N7. This is such a brilliant video, so informative and the music makes it even better
I’ve done this trip quite a few times and love Namibia. Looks like a less red version of the Australian outback. The roads are excellent for a huge country and a relatively small population. What was truly impressive were the gravel roads constantly maintained by graders which towed their living quarters behind them. Looks like a few new gas stations since I last traveled. 👍🏻
we are fortunate that our government still prioritises the roads, compared to our neighbours in the region. And yes, fuel stations have been poping up like crazy the last decade
One of the reasons I want to be a truck driver... for the endless country music and most of all enjoy the open road as I chase one horizon, and vanish to the next one. Great video, great choice of music, great narration and awesome camerawork.
This is so beautiful! Been to Namibia twice in my life and loved the country. This video makes me want to come back for more time. The vastness of this country is so appealing. Btw. The music selection is the best ❤️
I'm from PE an I've dreamt about doing this drive so many times. Thank you for taking me along. I'm giving my self a yr now for me to do it. Great work 👏
From a brit in Uk, lekker menheir, baai danke ! I did Windhoek to Etosha back in the 80's, in a bakkie, graded dirt road all the way, Outjo overnight, then Otjiwarongo, 140 klicks, lots of animals to watch and avoid, it hadn't rained up there for eight years !!! You bought back some wonderful memories, danke 🤗
I remember me very well.We drive the same way in 2017 from Cape Town to Windhoek. Very Relaxt and without any Traffic. We Overnight on a Guestfarm near Mariental. Than one Night in Windhoek with Sightseen. Than one day later we Fly home from Windhoek back to Germany.
Just subscribed and looking forward to your epic trip. In the 1980's I drove from the UK to Nairobi and more recently across North Africa and extensively throughout Egypt, so I am keenly interested to see the places I didn't get to as well as how you cope with the adventure. So far, so good!
This was so therapeutic 😄 so relaxing...I for 1 never went to S.A. before n I felt like I was apart of the whole trip just sitting on my couch in Namibia smilling😁👏👏
Thank you for sharing. So very familiar. Just did that border crossing 2 weeks ago on motorbike, took the long way via Namib desert and Swakopmund. It was fantastic to see the countries from Cape Town to Victoria Falls.
Watched the whole thing through. Mostly your playlist kept me here. Very informative planing to do cape to Cairo drive for my 40th in 2023 and I have been watching hundreds of hours of trips, yours definitely enjoyed. Hope I succeed it’s been 3 years planning
I do overlanding and have been to Namiba now 16 times already. The best feeling is when you drive over that bridge into Namibia. It is also good to know that when you travel from Namibia back to South Africa you can use your Namibian dollars to put in fuel at Klawer.
I didn't actually need instructions - I'm quite familiar with this route and it's an extremely easy drive. Actually, it's too easy and that's the danger as people get complacent. Bring a friend to swap driving duties if you can. Besides speeding drivers, tire damage is probably your biggest threat on Namibian roads. If your tires are not in excellent condition, replace them before you go. Bring a spare, more than one if you can. A word of caution if you're visiting for the first time - Namibia is highly addictive!
South Africa/Namibia border. South African side an absolute nightmare. Namibian side a total delight. The officers were happy, helpful and ever so welcoming. Mozambique border a total pain and a disgrace.
Just watched your video now and thoroughly enjoyed it. You keep everything short and to the point. Your video of the road never gets boring and you have chosen a lovely soundtrack to go with it! Sadly no chance of me ever getting to do an amazing road trip like this now. Makes me very sad. I now "road trip" via my laptop - but of course never ever the same as actually doing the real thing. Thanks again!
I really would love to make this drive to the North to see my Namibian friends I met in Russia during our University days. Thanks for sharing your journey!
In 1968 my father, mother, sister and I drove a VW Beetle from Port Elizabeth to the SWA (Namibian) border with Angola and back over a few weeks. Quite an adventure! I was about 15 at the time… No internet, no smart phones or lap tops and no GPS. Not even TV then !
I actually was on foot from the Noordoewer border town,through Vioolsdrift and reached a small town called Bitterfontein coz I was headed to Cape Town!
Look buddy, I haven't been home in two years now, thank you for sharing your journey with us. However, I started missing Namibia a little, I live in the U.S.
@@NickfrNamibia I love traveling, I came to visit but I'm staying a little longer than anticipated. Long story short, I just decided to change my mind about returning back home soon, "ho now". I bet you'll start flying out of Africa in the near future.
My first and last time driving that road was in March 1991 to and from its independence day and Ziggy Marley and the Wailers performance. I like the country and it's people. Good memories
Literally amazing.. I got chills from watching this.. I don't travel a lot but I enjoy the journey you took.. so amazing.. And the narrative explanation is a definite help.. Amazing indeed..
Thanks @5410Africa for the vid, it reminded me of me driving on the same route from Windhoek to Cape Town, it is such a breath taking drive, very reliable route in terms of stopovers to refill and recess. Let's travel and promote Africa.
I travel this road at least 4 times a year. Most beautiful, and I often do it solo. I prefer to nap at the border for about 2 hours and then proceed. I work in Namibia, in Walvis Bay, and also use the Windhoek way to get there. Mom and I drove the 1st time without really taking proper rest, not knowing the getting a sim card is such a tedious task, and we wasted about 3 hours. We got that done in Mariental the 1st time. But all went well.
I just love Namibia. Can't wait to do a proper tour of especially the desert landscape side. Only been to the Zambezi/Caprivi side. Good job you are doing there Nick..👌👌
after reading all the negatives about this road trip you have made reconsider. I and my partner we are planning a long road trip from dar es salaam Tanzania to Cape Town and from Cape Town to Windhoek and back to Tanzania. it looks doable, thanks mate.
I’m from Guinea west Africa, watching this video gives me a great feelings to live in Africa forever ,Africans countries are connected with such a beautiful landscape all around 🙏
Unfortunately in many African countries it is not that convenient to travel by road. I love that South Africa, Namibia and Botswana are really well connected by road and the border crossings are smooth with little to no corruption at all.
Thanks for taking your precious time to making this video and most importantly sharing it. Truly informative especially for me as I do my due diligence on investing and relocating to Namibia. Highly appreciated ☮️
When you are from the Netherlands and just suprised how much of a kak it is to have real borders. European borders are very chill. Even Switzerland-EU is easy.
Thanks, I loved watching the familiar scenery float by. I'm from Swakopmund living in Cape Town. I've never taken this trip on my own, but planming to drive to my Heimat with my dog and stay a few months. of course taking her, there are a few other things to consider as well. Thanks for the video and well chosen music!
Shall I say pleasant 'walk down memory lane'; I kind of stumbled on this video, reminds me of the first and only time thus far I have driven on that route in the 90s, with a person who is now my wife today, in our 20s, my early work life after varsity, our direction was southbound, from Swakomund/Walvis Bay to Cape Town, detoured from the N7 to overnight in Port Nolloth, then made a whistle stop at nearby Alexander Bay to see the mouth of the Orange / Senqhu / Gariep river, then rejoined the N7 to Cape Town but detoured again via Clanwillian, Citrusdal, Porterville, Wolseley, Wellington (via Bains Pass) and to Cape Town, spent about a week there. Then embarked on another long journey back home to Soweto via N2E then, over the Tradouw Pass near Heidelberg CP, pass Barrydale, into the Klein-Karoo (Ladismith, Calitzdorp), then spent a few days in Oudtshoorn exploring the Swartberg area, including a visit to the Cango Caves. Thereafter, onto the N9E highway past Uniondale, Willowmore, Aberdeen, then spent a few days in Graaf-Reinet visited the Camdeboo National Park and nearby Valley of Desolation, onwards to Cradock, Hofmeyer, Steynsburg, Burgersdorp, Aliwal North onto the N6 to Bloem, then the N1 back home, all this in my (then) newly acquired E30BMW.
Thanks this is amazing nice and easy. Iam Angolano and I would love to make this trip from here to cape but with a 3 day stop in Windhoek when going and when caming back Lubango to Windhoek it’s 1200 kz
Forgot to mention in my last comment Namibia is a very beautiful country with very very friendly people as well . Loved my time I spent in Namibia filming a TV commercial
In 1970, my dad, mom and myself, was 12 at the time, traveled from Durban to Windhoek. It was in December and extremely hot especially in what was then S.W.A
Awesome Video. Flew to Windhoek a few years back. Beautiful place with lovely people. Point of interest, If you drive from Windhoek back to Cape Town on the N7 you will drive directly to the ocean.

Tolerating more than 50 years in SA .... you deserve a medal

Namibia calls you, whether you were born there as I was, or you visited and it crawled into your essence.
Never travelled outside the country, the border crossing process was so informative. Thank you
It's a pleasure😁
Lets go to Namibia nice country been there 3 times
what they need from the car side or what must i take with me for the car?
Watching from SA, seeing Namibia landscapes 🇿🇦♥️🇳🇦
I watch a lot of UA-cam vlogs… never thought we had vlogs this good in Namibia… amazing
Thanks Mike, always good to hear that im doing Namibia proud! You from Nam?
@@NickfrNamibia yep. I work at Paratus. I assure you.. your channel will be big.

Very good video, am Angolan and i wish my country could be so organized like Namibia and RSA. bom trabalho.
thanks Florence
I’ve done this trip quite a few times and love Namibia. Looks like a less red version of the Australian outback. The roads are excellent for a huge country and a relatively small population. What was truly impressive were the gravel roads constantly maintained by graders which towed their living quarters behind them. Looks like a few new gas stations since I last traveled. 👍🏻
we are fortunate that our government still prioritises the roads, compared to our neighbours in the region. And yes, fuel stations have been poping up like crazy the last decade

Thanks so much🙂especially on that road, its an epic drive
This is so beautiful! Been to Namibia twice in my life and loved the country. This video makes me want to come back for more time. The vastness of this country is so appealing.
Btw. The music selection is the best ❤️
Structured, Analytical, Strategic. You are a great traveler. Thank you.
I'm from PE an I've dreamt about doing this drive so many times. Thank you for taking me along. I'm giving my self a yr now for me to do it. Great work 👏
Go for it boet !
Yes, just do it🙂
We drove from PE to the Angolan border and back in 1968…
From a brit in Uk, lekker menheir, baai danke !
I did Windhoek to Etosha back in the 80's, in a bakkie,
graded dirt road all the way, Outjo overnight, then Otjiwarongo, 140 klicks, lots of animals to watch and
avoid, it hadn't rained up there for eight years !!!
You bought back some wonderful memories, danke 🤗
Now you can drive from Cape Town to Okaukuejo/Etosha without a single km of gravel😀
One of the videos with straight forward and useful information I have watched in a long time on yt. Makes me want to drive to Namibia now 😃.
Glad you enjoyed it! And yes why waiste people's time with unnecessary things😉
Excellent.....je suis allé 2 fois en Namibie et A dû Sud.0n ne s en lasse pas.

I know that exact feeling, also one of the few Namibian borders that have that big sign saying welcome to Namibia🇳🇦
I haven't done this drive in more than 20 years . It brought back alot of memories . Thanks for the upload it was much appreciated
Always a pleasure👍
Seeing this is making me realize that one should make plans to Travel through out Africa 🌍.. Thanks for inspiring travel reviews
Nice video. First class roads also very clean. Thumbs up!
Thanks William. Yip Namibia🇳🇦 is an amazing place🙂

that's what I always tell people, also on the Namibian gravel roads. It is too easy and end up getting yourself into trouble
Very insightful ,short and precise
Hustle free border crossing compared to Mozambique and Zimbabwe borders
Lots of love from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤️
Yeah piece of cake compared to others in the region🙂
The Botswana/South Africa border is also hassle free
South Africa/Namibia border. South African side an absolute nightmare. Namibian side a total delight. The officers were happy, helpful and ever so welcoming. Mozambique border a total pain and a disgrace.
Just drove from South to Botswana, Namibia, back to Botswana, Zimbabwe and then back to south Africa through beitbridge border......i loved it
Nice landscape, greeting from Morocco North Africa
beautiful road trip video very useful and educational thanks
Always a pleasure!!!
Very informative and INTERESTING video
Glad you think so🙂

Awesome video.It's on my bucketlist to drive from Cape Town to Swakopmund one day.
So grateful for this. Planning a trip in 2024 when my kids are a bit bigger. Bucket list stuff for the wife and I.

sounds awesome, was there a road back then? must have looked very different...
I love that route,,,I used to travel back in the days,,very beautiful!!! Missing it alot...

Take me with please,I would loved to see it again the last I have been was 1979.lol🙈🤦🏿♀️🙄🙏

The area reminds me of home, I am from Namibe province on the Angolan side.
theree is a province in Angola called Namibe?
@@NickfrNamibia Yes, "Namibe", one of the Angola's 18 provinces. On the South East coast with huge tourist potential.
This was so nice to watch! I watched the whole thing. Really relaxing and you did a great job explaining the route.
Thanks Dean, so hopefully you'll come and visit my country then😁
What an absolutely nice vid....👏👏👏
Totally enjoyed the drive..
Never been to Namibia but seeing the land....sure makes me long to visit..

Great video. Enjoyed the scenery as well. Thanks for the advice
Thanks 👍
Miss this route, thanks for the video. Very informative.
its a pleasure🙂

When you are from the Netherlands and just suprised how much of a kak it is to have real borders. European borders are very chill. Even Switzerland-EU is easy.
it is😂 and Namibia-SA is one of the easy ones
I don't mind borders. It is part of traveling and the experience of entering another country.
Thanks, I loved watching the familiar scenery float by.
I'm from Swakopmund living in Cape Town. I've never taken this trip on my own, but planming to drive to my Heimat with my dog and stay a few months.
of course taking her, there are a few other things to consider as well.
Thanks for the video and well chosen music!
Leaving end of November!
Always a pleasure. Have a safe trip and enjoy😃
Thanks, good job. Please have one driving to Zimbabwe, we will be grateful🙏🏿🇿🇼
from SA?

Beautiful af. Cheers from the other side of the Atlantic 🇧🇷
Thank you very much for sharing your experience of driving from South Africa, Cape Town to Namibia awesome video
Thank you Sir🙂
Forgot to mention in my last comment Namibia is a very beautiful country with very very friendly people as well . Loved my time I spent in Namibia filming a TV commercial
I second that, I am one of them😁
Good video. Nicely filmed and edited
In 1970, my dad, mom and myself, was 12 at the time, traveled from Durban to Windhoek. It was in December and extremely hot especially in what was then S.W.A
still very hot here🙂must look very different now...
Good background music...complemets the travelogue..
Thank you Sir🙂
Hey there is a Namibian guy that just moved here in Tokyo. I will surely forward this to him
I'm m Congolese very happy for you guy.
cool
Roads in Namibia are superb
the best in Africa they say...
Awesome Video. Flew to Windhoek a few years back. Beautiful place with lovely people. Point of interest, If you drive from Windhoek back to Cape Town on the N7 you will drive directly to the ocean.
Thats true🙂
i worked for Toyota factory in Durban , i did this trip a few times , one was for the Front wheel drive Corolla press launch
Amazing
