I worked at the Namibian international airport and almost all the foreigners would say “we enjoyed “
Namibia is safe , the roads are good and so are the people!!
Personally I have lived in Asia (India) that is when I realized my country is blessed because we have open places of thousands km without people and infrastructures.
Travelled to Namibia. Namibians are Very Good Kind Pleasant Sociable people.
God loves Africa. Am from uganda, love you Namibia brothers. Your country is amazing.
I live in Greece. I am so grateful for CZcams. You can see parts of the world so different than yours. ❣️

I'm from DRC congo I lived in Namibia for 8years recently moved to the U.S., Namibia it's a beautiful country with great people they have love for each other even for foreigners, I love all their tribes, the hereros, namas,damaras, the oshiwambo speaking, the capriviens etc, and I thank God for giving me a Namibian woman.
Wow.... the land blessed you with their daughter, wonderful.. thanks for the great compliments, it is indeed a peaceful country, but with these corrupt politicians, may God have mercy and spare our beloved country from tensions and wars
Elias Kabamba thank you 🙏🏾
Thank you, love you too
Thank you Kabamba.
Parles-tu le français ?
Big up to the film-maker for this wonderful portrayal of my country. Indeed my country is beautiful 🤩 - even I had a culture shock when I first arrived 31 years ago after several decades in exile, having left as a young child. I fell in love with it then and I’m still in love with it now. To all of you who haven’t been here, please do visit, you are most welcome - as long as you leave it in the pristine condition you find it in, for future generations to enjoy! Karibu, Akwaaba, Bienvenu, Shalom.
What a pleasure to listen to a commentary that is free of Yank sensationalism and corny "jokes". This video is a fine shot in the arm for a country that needs -- and from what I hear, deserves -- the resultant publicity.
I think, Namibia's beauty is the best in the world. It blows my mind. I would visit Namibia one day if I had the chance. 💙💖❤💓
you will not be disapointed, namibia is fabulous !
I would visit just as well in a heartbeat given the wherewithal! One of the pristine beauties on the planet and it would find just a few other places of such incredible beauty and grandeur!!!

My family visited Namibia once and we are planning to visit Namibia again. Great Country. Great people. Excellent Hospitality!
FROM ALABAMA, I WOULD NEVER HAVE BELIEVED SO MUCH WONDER, BEAUTY AND HOSPITALITY IN AFRICA. NAMIBIA IS BLESSED. TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT. DO NOT LET RELIGIOUS STRIFE INTO YOUR MAGNIFICENT COUNTRY AND RUIN IT FOR THE WORLD.
Too many germans
WOODY RESTER Namibia is nothing compared to many other parts of Africa. Don't believe all what the propagandist western media says about other parts of the world esp. Africa
We Africans are believers, long b4 Whites got here we already knew there is God. Religion has pulled us through the darkest of times in life. Those kids singing for tourists were singing a Christian song borrowed from South African Zulu saying: We will crush and defeat demons (in the Name of Jesus Christ). Amen.
Make NAMIBIA BLACK AGAIN! KEEP THE INVADERS OUT!
Im afraid it too late
my country Namibia is very beautiful
YOU ARE SO RIGHT MOST BEAUTIFUL AND CHARMING
Gee, I didn't even notice, about it only being for the rich whites! Trust that to be brought into it!
@@lavishtchana7342 we the locals hardly use the train as its very slow. Tourists can use it.
Indeed!!
it surely is....keep it up
Africa is such a nature rich continent. Actually spoilt of choices as which one to include and which one to exclude. Every place is unique on its own ... desert 🏜 or wildlife or whatever .... I wish more tourism awareness for this lovely continent is made so that more people know of the beautiful attractions
My parents lived there for 10 years in Tsumeb and I had the privilege of visiting for 3 months. Fell in love with the country and people.
May God almighty bless Africans and the namaibians, love from uk and our peopple of Bangladesh, they will rise to top in time 🇧🇩🇬🇧🇳🇦
This made me fall in love with Africa even more
Your a fool, what a shit comment.
Extremely beautiful landscapes, flora and fauna , The red rocks , hills and the blue vistas its a paradise.
I am lucky to have visited one of the most beautiful country in the world....and even lovelier people.....loved Namibia 💕
My son was lucky enough to go on a school trip! Yeah...in my day it was some soggy Saxon settlement, or w/e. Anyway, he came back a completely new person.
Any suggestions please how to plan dessert express trip ?
Real Hulk give a rough estimate of your expenditure while there
Real Hulk anybody with an estimate expenditure? watching it from kenya
@@dismaskenyoni2584 : depends on they way one travels, avg USD 3.5k~5K modest budget per month
Many people have a bad image about Africa but this video proves it wrong... Beautiful Namibia I wanna visit this beautiful country once in my lifetime. I will surely explore Africa whenever I get a chance in future. Love from India💓
Thanks to the western media for creating that perception. Africa is a beautiful continent.
It,s because it was German. Not the same as the rest of Africa, which is all beautiful, but with serious political issues.
Africa is continent....bad image u mention is deffend the country...
I always find a indian comment ... Promising to visit place ... Or send love from india
Southern Africa is beautiful, more safer thn any other part of Africa
My Country my pride , I am so proud of my lovely Country Namibia 🇳🇦 Namibia 🇳🇦
Still suffering at the hands of the colonial power. Germany.
Patricia Agbewornu how ?
Love 🇳🇦from India🇮🇳😊
I am from Mumbai, India. I watched this video. It's so beautiful beyond discription. Full of awe. All glory to Almighty God, the Creator. God bless you

Africa my homeland!!
Tour by train is nice, but if you really want to experience the place, 4x4 or caravan would be it.
Driving in the desert...all alone n quiet...its like being on another planet.
Then the heat and sand, u have to make them a part of you to survive.
Sleeping in the open desert, under the clear sky full of stars ....this is experiencing Namibia.
Can the animals attack u and are there any robbers anywhere near that place targeting tourist?
@@georgethadeus well, if you provoke them then yes, they will.
@@georgethadeus No, the animals actually talk over here.
Sounds so exciting!!! The stars are big and bright here in FortWorth,Texas too!
4x4 is nice if you're going to go off-road and don't want to get stuck in the sand. However, a small sedan is adequate since the main roads are good and there are camp spots along the way. If you dress down like a backpacker, you won't get harassed in the cities/shops. Animals don't attack unless you surprise them, and the dangerous ones (except snakes, hippos, and crocs) are confined to the game parks.
What a beautiful country. Love from Egypt.
The land scapes of this place are so similar to Western Australia it's incredible. Only difference is the wild life.

I lived in Windhoek for 5 years and I also lived and worked in an establishment about 65 Kms from Sousessvlei where you will find these majestic sand dunes. This video and the wonderful narration is a very accurate description of the real beauty of this beautiful country and the people.
God bless Namibia, hearty blessings from India 🇮🇳💐

You are in my heart namibia
I am an Indian and really impressed with Namibia and its sanctuary of the wildlife after watching this video.
Thanks for giving the opportunity to have a glimpse of this beautiful country.

Like the comment !
I lived in Namibia when it was still called SouthWestAfrica in a small town, Usakos. Some of my best years. Will always remember those years.
@Dan D 58 mate. My time in South west Africa was in the ealy 1970,s.
I am now in Usakos , welcome again
Danie, Wilna Brits Best years for you but it was the worst of years for our people... we would not like to be reminded of that ok
One of our worst time in history was your best time?
@@marthamendonca6219 were you alive then to know it was the worst time
The soundtrack and narration is just wow. This guy did justice to the documentary.
Rating : ***************************
I agree to the full

One of the best journey in Africa....
Once upon a time I fell in love with a beautiful Namibian young lady 🥰

Excellent video. I had a fantastic time visiting Namibia in 2015. It is a great place to visit. Our guide Victor and our driver James were from Kenya and they were experts on traveling in this beautiful desert country. Namibia and South Africa are two countries I would recommend to anyone who wants to visit Africa for the first time. Namibia has scenery, wild animals and excellent skydiving facilities. Loved my stay in Namibia. I would go back in a second if I had the chance.
Hello Christopher, Where did You RENT the vehicle & the Driver & Guide. Any email address / Any Phone number ? Any WEB address?Thanks

Namibia is one of the most beautiful and safe countries in Africa
I hope it is always peaceful ...
Was there in October 1979 - Was an eye-opener in every which way... Left a part of my heart there... Closest smell of Bush as was in Rhodesia as a child... Climbed Brandenberg 'hills' and landscape scenery was breathtakingly awesome... This part of Africa is magnificent...
Ah! October 15, 1979, a, Monday, that's when I was born. Once I visited Namibia in 2011 I felt that "...I left a part of my heart there", too... exact same feeling
Namibia wow what a country with 100% cleanest towns and cities i wish i can visit again😅😅😅😅😀😀😀😀😍😍😍😍
very proud to be NAMIBIAN. I was talk bad about my country and just realized how beautiful it is
It is breath taking country ... Love from Nepal
Are you Muslim saima ?
No,why
@@saimawilliams5835 Saima is a name given to Muslim girls
Indeed Africa is beautiful, the narrator was also on top. I enjoyed
Namibians are peacfull and accomodative ! I regret not doing this train trip befor i left really trip to remember .Love from NZ
This is not only amazing..in fact spectacular...salute to the film maker ...I can feel the effort that this filmmaker has taken ...highlighting the real beauty in a most trendy way ...One just can't be left without saying OMG ..just one word finally ..SUPERB
One of the best documentaries i ever watched,as will nice and soft voice of the host.
Watching from Namibia 🇳🇦🇳🇦🇳🇦🇳🇦
I am a proud Namibian. Borne and bred here. Come and visit us, especially at the coast!
Post Covid lockdown. I would like to visit Namibia.
Blessings and peace from America.
@@timfronimos459 Do keep Namibia on your bucket list. Sights and wild life just too wonderful. I have a son in the States therefore I watch news and learn daily about America. Peace to you too in the States. Be safe.
The other side of the paradise.
An addition to my to do (visit) list.
Mother earth is full of amazing landscapes & beautiful people.
It was like a dream watching this 19 minutes clip.
Oh my mother land, love you so much,.

I can imagine mate , home is home , nothing better .
I agree,Ted Cliff. Simply outstanding.
I view and listen to this video again and again
What a great Country. What a trip! From Nairobi Kenya.
I have been to Namibia. loved it. Beautiful but expensive.
Really... So it's more expensive to live in Namibia? May I know why, and which country are you from.
So nice to see great, love you namibia from India
What a beautiful experience, Namibia!! Let us preserve nature and all its beauty. Visit this graceful place is one among my lifetime goals. Love, love and love from India💓
Having money can be so peaceful some times!
very true
Right 😀😀
Probably worked their asses off for a retirement like this. Wish I'd upped my game as a kid. Fair play to them, i'd like to cycle it myself, but trains are cool too.
K V Close Up 😁😁
Absolutely
i have no idea why this is on my recommended, but I love it
My country my pride... Beautiful to the fullest
Those metal drinking cups at 9:35 are probably one of the most iconic things and anyone who lives lekker local cant deny it!
Lots love from Nairobi
😝😝 huku nayo inadai sio
Love you Namibia from India 😊😊
Yes indeed we live in a beautiful country and coolest county with beautiful nature
I watch the seal rescue OCN and realized by watching how beautiful it is. I love these men and 2 women for there persistence of rescuing the seals from the plastic that's dumped into the ocean. I will never be able to travel to Gods country in Africa but can watch the videos like this one that takes us along the journey in Namibia. Thank You so much for sharing this trip with us viewers. God Bless Bye from NE Ohio USA 🇺🇸
I once lived in Namibia and get so emotional when I see videos and photos of this beautifull country!! Beautifull video!!
Yes Roeleen indeed a place to remember. I've been there a couple of times and toured it from Karasburg in the south to Otavi in the north and also the west coast between Walvis bay and then north to the place where the Welwitschia plants can be seen. Visited Etosha nat park.
I had a friend working at Daan Viljoen near Windhoek and my late brother was stationed at Grootfontein. I must admit though it's a beautiful country.
An incident I'll never forget was when an elephant bull, walking at a fast pace, forcing us back in reverse gear for about 100 meters. To tell the truth I was really frightened and my friend, driving, later told me it was the scariest time of his life.
One feels so helpless being confronted by such a huge animal so close and in full control.
Enjoy Namibia everybody bc that place is a feast.
Take care!!!!
I'm in S. Africa
Me to same feeling, after covid will visit
Roeleen Matthee, me too. I lived there from 2014 - 2019.
Theo Le Rou, it sounds like you got to see and experience so much there. And shew! I can imagine your scary encounter with the Ellie.
Greetings also from me in S.A. 🇿🇦 May you and yours remain safe and in good health 😃
Well, like how we sing it in our national anthem 🎶 Namibia, Namibia Mother Land We Love Thee🎶.

So very true. And you look so well after it. I will never forget my visit in Namibia.
This documentary is absolutely astonishing.. beautifully filmed and narrated with perfect pace, he was so clear that i could understand without subtitles.. that's the beauty of english and most importantly the narrator.. I am watching this in lockdown situation and it brought me some freshness.. I visited South Africa and I feel my love for Africa. I hope to visit most of Africa soon and explore the cultural part of it.
with lots of love. India
I am a proud Namibian!🥰🇳🇦
Merry Christmas from Romania ❤💛💙!!!
I want to go Romania
Merry Christmas, and happy new year from Kenya!

@@uwerdmann hi.... Is Namibia a christian or a Muslim nation? Thanks
It always brings me joy to see my country being represented for its immense beauty and diversity....
Please do come and visit Namibia... There's still so much more to see
I traveled through Namibia last year. Lots of history and amazing little towns and very friendly people. Will definitely visit the country again 👏😀
Years ago we took a flight from Johannesburg to Rio. It was a daytime flight,perfectly clear skies from start to finish. As we approached the Atlantic,flying over Namibia,we could get a beautiful view of the desert actually meeting the ocean. I got a great photo...one of my most treasured photos.
That flight to Rio across the coast of Namibia, Jack Fitzpatrick, must have been amazing! I imagine when I read this something like the English Patient scenes from the sky. ❤️
@@FrauDrSophieLouisaBennett It was indeed. It was February (summer) and the Atlantic waters were as crystal blue as anything you're ever likely to see. Two places to visit that I have on my bucket list are the Namib desert and the Atacama desert...where I'd like to visit the huge telescope complex that's operated by the European Union.
@@jackfitzpatrick8173 That is a lovely description. I probably wouldn't be allowed to go to the Atacama observatory. But the desert sounds fascinating. I have seen the Namib - a friend kindly sent me photos some years ago.😍 Good luck and enjoy. ❤️
@@FrauDrSophieLouisaBennett Hey,thanks! The reason I think might be allowed into that complex is because I'm a citizen of a European Union country (Ireland) and it seems possible that that would allow me access. But could be wrong. :-(
@@jackfitzpatrick8173 Maybe I could marry an Irishman for his passport :-) 🤭
Wow, Beautiful Country
Love from India..
Hi, I am from New Zealand really amazed to see the scenery in South Africa on this video, I have been to Kenya but Namibia it looks more attractive, the city is clean and population not much it must be a lot of fun .. thank you for this video.
Hello am Kenyan and proud of Kenya.
But this... This Namibia is a gem. I love trains and must visit especially to ride in the train. Much more intriguing than Kenyans train ride through the tsavo
Amazing train station journey passing from beautiful landscape, desert and wild animals sanctuary.
Worth visiting country despite poverty and lack of facilities being African country
Beautiful landscape, vivid colors of lands and sky, spectacular view!
Thanks for bringing the amazing footage in front, from a less known country from the other side of the world ❤
Excellent
...truly amazing. Africa is beautiful!
Dear Mr. Altenhenne, this introduction to the country was a real delight. I savored the panoramic shots in these frames and am keen to travel to this continent once things are back to normal. Thank you!
Great job 👏 .
Some pics looks like Mars landscape 😍
You should see the landscape on your way to the Bogenfels arch, it's unreal. Went on the trip last year, absolutely beautiful.
this country looks so beautiful.
Love and regards from Lusburg ( Sierra Leone ).
You should have visited the breathtaking Omatako Mountains.The most beautiful scenery.
What an amazing footage to a wonderful country. God bless Namibia.
Namibia is so beautiful... thanks for sharing this video... 🌸
Love from India 🇮🇳
Seems to have abundant sunshine and clear skies! Awesome
an artist's paradise
I am enchanted by the unique and fascinating landscape of Namibia and it's rich wild life.
Train trip is fantastic, it's on my wish list after watching this VDO.
Beautiful landscape. Breathtaking and hypnotising. Disheartened to see 96 dislikes for this video.
The colonial undertone is a bit of a turnoff
Oh well, there are all types on social media.
Exquisitely wonderful & attractive....ALL PRAISE FOR THE CREATOR ..GOD ALMIGHTY
The journey of this train, its class, the story of serving food and sitting at the table, the smile of all the workers, these animals and places are all reasons that make every person (writer) visit that spot. Thanks for this great video report 💥❣
I lived in Walvis Bay for 2 years..1970 to1972..in a house directly across from the desert!
Travelled on the train from Walvis Bay to Windhoek a few times and even to Pretoria so remember Keetmanshoop well! Swakopmund also a beautiful town showing the German past! A never forgotten experience! ♡
Namibia is heaventually beautiful with it's natural visuals....
Ooh ! Beautiful Namibia, was there with my family this past Dec. best holiday ever. The sand dunes were calling 💕💕
Thank you for showing us gorgeous Namibia. We enjoyed it very very much. All the best to you.
Look at those happy and blessed old couples. Sometimes it's so stress busting to see such people.
Not everyone are as lucky as them. And of course , thanks for showing all of us the unseen side of Namibia.
