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.
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
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.
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.
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 🤗
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 ❤️
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😁👏👏
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.
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!
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.
Worked in Winhoek some 32years ago and once made a trip with the some local young people with the bus to cape town and back. yeah long drive. Nice to see this ride again.
That first time i watched this video was inspired me too much i never think of visiting namibia but on the 9th of november i am going there because of this video. I now paid off everything eg accommodation first on south african side viooldrift lodge for 1 night, and city junction on widhoek side. Thanks a lot sir for your video
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!
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!
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.
Hi Nick. I ve done this twice...brings a lot of.memories back......thanks for sharing.....we stopped In springbok for Lunch at a Shop where u can by gemstones and have Lunch at once....amazing Trip....in 2009....
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.
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!
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..👌👌
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.
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!
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..
I have watched this clip more than 10 times probably… because I literally vision myself in them I have always loved Namibia for some odd reason but you have literally given me a reason with this video I will be working towards taking The drive up there Great music choice on your videos I have learned so much from this video thank you
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
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 ☮️
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.
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'm doing this trip in a few weeks time but will be starting in Zimbabwe into Botswana into Namibia swakopmund then to Capetown where I will spend a couple of days from there I will drive to Durban via the garden route
Hello sir. I feel lucky to have discovered your channel. And I have instantly decided to subscribe to it. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Johannesburg in South Africa 🇿🇦. 💖💖🙏🙏🤝
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.
cape town is ma hometown. u drove past media24 where i work. i used to live in windhoek n worked for now-closed times of namibia, ur vids make me wanna go back to namibia man
dankie my vrin. cape town in bootiful n my hometown but namibia is where my heart is. id hook up with u sumtime i plan to crashland n look for a job by april-may. gotta sort out sum stuff first
I am glad I watched this video. I always thought you drive on gravel roads when you drive from Cape Town to Namibia. May I ask you to do Windhoek to Swakopmund when you can.
Great video, I am Swati working in Zimbabwe and occasionally do the 1400-odd km solo journey from Harare to eSwatini. I am planning to take a trip to Swakopmund in the near future.
I only just found your post, really enjoyed it and found it very informative. I would like to travel from KZN south coast to Swakopmund visiting Sossusvlei on the way. As senior citizens travelling alone (in a street SUV) we are very concerned about the C class roads. Any advice would be helpful.
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 !
mmmm how i wish to make that trip with R60 miniac up from that side maybe Uppington to capetown then N2 cape town back to Durban...thats my dream road trip
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

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 🇿🇦♥️🇳🇦

Thanks Mike, always good to hear that im doing Namibia proud! You from Nam?

Cape Town is so always beautiful.
I love cape town , Angolan in Canada

CT comes 3rd overall.

Namibia calls you, whether you were born there as I was, or you visited and it crawled into your essence.

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…
Very good video, am Angolan and i wish my country could be so organized like Namibia and RSA. bom trabalho.
thanks Florence
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.

always a pleasure Joe🙂
Seeing this is making me realize that one should make plans to Travel through out Africa 🌍.. Thanks for inspiring travel reviews
Awesome video.It's on my bucketlist to drive from Cape Town to Swakopmund one day.
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 know that exact feeling, also one of the few Namibian borders that have that big sign saying welcome to Namibia🇳🇦
Thank you so much for this bud. I’ve been planning a road trip up to Etosha, and I felt a bit intimidated by the distance. You made it look easy!
Always a pleasure👍🙂 You can drive all the way from Cape Town to Okaukuejo camp in Etosha National Park without touching a single meter of gravel road
beautiful road trip video very useful and educational thanks

Thanks! Great to see. Reminds me of the desert I live in Arizona, USA. Cheers!
A lot of people from the US say that. Also when they see the areas around the Spitzkoppe in Namibia
Wonderful trip with the unique camera quality and we're glad that u have drove safe
Thoroughly enjoyed the trip with you. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome. Thanks for sharing Nick. Hopefully we will be visiting there soon

Beautiful and easy drive🙂
Great video. please make more, especially a round trip to Etosha, Moremi, Okavango, and the Kalahari.
i worked for Toyota factory in Durban , i did this trip a few times , one was for the Front wheel drive Corolla press launch

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.
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..👌👌
I am bias so I cant comment on Namibia😂 will be showing a lot of the other regions you haven't seen over the next 2 months, stay tuned😃
Take me with please,I would loved to see it again the last I have been was 1979.lol🙈🤦🏿♀️🙄🙏
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.
Thank you for Information: I remember in 1993 you just drive through without that complicated paperwork…… greetings from Germany
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.

But it is beatiful to see , especially seeing you go from humid and green Cape Town , to dry and very hot Namibia
It is right...And then as you hit the north of Namibia the green returns.
Cape Town is not really humid
