I love Africa through bloggers. I wish to visit South Africa and Namibia..I hope so..I liked your blog very much.
Each episode is so awesome! The beauty that God has created is simply stunning to see.
Absolutely amazing
Hi Matt, been following your air arms channel for years and am now watching your series on Southern Africa and loving it so far. As a Namibian I cannot recommend my country enough. Heck there's even an old german folk song which says that once the sun has burned its mark on to your heart you can never forget and leave South West again.
If I may correct you on a few facts though, Namibia is actually the second least populated country in the world (with Mongolia leading and Australia trailing us). The second largest city in Namibia is actually Rundu, followed by Walvis Bay. And another interesting fact, Spitzkoppe and the Erongo Mountains were once "connected", as they share the same granite composition.
If you are ever around in Nam again and plan on bringing your rifles with, get in touch with me! As an avid hunter myself I know a few farmers who are always happy if their varmints get taken care of and sometimes even need a buck or two for the kitchen. Regards Thorsten Böhme (you can find me on fb)
Lank gewag maar die moeite werd gewees. Dankie dat jy ons saamvat.
This was the perfect way to start my day. Thank you for the guided tour guys!
Sipping a beer and watching the sun set on those iron-filled mounds....perfect.
😭😭😭 even Ted is here. Guys let's meet up in Botswana 😭😭😭
Great video, you really make some of the best overlanding content!
Namibia..............what a beautiful place, and I must say one of the cleanest countries.
The whole of Namibia is stunning but camping against one of those giant boulders at Spitzkoppe is one of the most peaceful and memorable experiences ever. The plant life and rock formations are unique and lots of exploring to do amongst the boulders.
Epic trip Matt 👍👍
Hi Matt! We've been following (vicariously) your journey through lower Africa and I just had to let you know that we also have our roots planted firmly in this land and your videos truely reflect why we ain't goin nowhere 😂
Very beautiful Matt, enjoy your time, make your memories. Take it from an old man, time passes much too quickly... I myself spent to much time working instead of 'making memories'; I would have much rather had the memories for they are priceless.....
Matt, please take me with you 😢... here i am tired of the 8 to 5 seeing you enjoy our Africa 😢😢😢
We discovered your channel during the weekend Matt! Well believe it or not, Swakopmund , Walvisbay and especially Spitzkupfen, was my childhood play ground. Back then there were no fences, less the close by community that now overseers of the Spitskop Reserve! Jackal and Heyena roamed freely. Now you are lucky to hear them, what to say see them around Spitskop and Small Spitskop. We'll be watching over supper guys! Thanks so much!
WOW
Well done, Mat and Nichole. Great episode contrast between city life and Spitskop is really great. The meat looks great definitely braai is the best. Enjoy the rest day.
Great Video Matt! #KeepItEezi
Finally ladies and gentlemen. Thanks for another episode
What an epic episode wow
Be safe...glad to see you enjoying Namibia 🇳🇦
erg mooi
Once again a great series. Realy looking forward to the rest.
I was waiting for this episode like forever. Thanks Matt, I'm really enjoyed this grand tour.
What a beautiful part of Southern Africa. I noticed your lady friend mentioned she felt like crying while watching the sunset over Nabia,well it happened to me although the Fish river canyon,wouldn't know what emotion that is but what a feeling.love your shows.enjoy your travels.
Missed you, Matt! Awesome episode!!
Only 18 min after such a long wait.
😭😭
Another great video! How was the Childhood Memories? It's definitely our favorite blend from Masterton's. Can't wait for the next video...
great editing!
What snorkel are you using. Can't find it in any of your videos. Looks like a good design sitting flush on the cab/windscreen.
Its made by LA Sport
HOW CAN YOU DISGRACE YOUR HILUX OR HOME with that towel?! 01:14 ;)
At long Last
Love Namibia,very special,quick question are your fridge/freezer 3 way incl gas I dont reckon any power points here
My favourite overlanding destination. Will you share your GPX files at some point
There is a link to the route in the video description👍🏻
Been meaning to ask what snorkel is fitted to the Hilux?
I hope that Blue Bulls towel at the start on the bakkie wasn't your Matt? I'd hate to have to unsubscribe😂
It is mine, from back in the day when you could still enjoy watching them🫣
Where do I get the follow episode 6,please
Infrastructure.... Matt you make me laugh... Most of it today is Chinese infrastructure! Toured my home soil back in 2018 and we were shocked at all the Chinese influx!
The internal combustion engine isn't going anywhere, it will just be using a different fuel. We will be sitting back later in life, having a laugh at the EV fad!
I hope you’re right!
@@mattdubber Yamaha and Toyota are working together on what they call a H2 engine. Synthetic hydrogen based fuel is already available, we've been using synthetic oil for years!
