Hi from Japan . Thank you for this lovely Collaboration with Brendan . I’ve got to known him through your Vlog and I met him in my hostel in japan this April. I’m really happy to see both of you guys together ! You guys are absolutely Stun... ,, Absolutely ridicu... oops yeah simply fantastic . Thank you always for sharing such a motivate story !
Greg Snell this is going to be my words then . Anyway I’ve been really enjoying your channel ,too after PATAGONIA . Thanks Greg for fantastic footage always !!
Just returned from Namibia 2 weeks ago. It is really beautiful country, especially for night sky/landscapes/wildlife. Just my 2 cents about night photography: Quiver Tree Forest that Brendan mentioned is amazing, really nice location for night shots. 5 km from there you can find another place called Giants Playground where you can also find the same trees but in addition to that there are tons of nice rock formation which can really be nice subject in the pictures. I also wanted to do night photography at Deadvlei but couldn't find any reliable information online:/ I stayed at Sesriem Camsite (between first and second gate) and stuff told me that I need to obtain special permission in Windhoek to be able to shoot there at night. One place I would like to add to your list is Kolmanskop with it's abandoned houses covered with sand. You can easily spend whole day there. Beware that you need special permit if you want to stay there outside regular visitors hours. Highly recommended:)
I did an overland tour from Cape Town to Vic Falls in June 2015, and we camped in Sesriem camp grounds. The guides woke us up around 5 AM and lined the truck up at the gates so that we'd some of the first into the park. We got there in time to hike Dune 45 and watch the sun come up, so it is possible to be there before sunset (and you can do the same thing with a private car).
With a rooftent you can stay inside the park in the camping in sussosvlei. You’ll be surrounded by springbok in the night and they chew loudly on the seeds of the trees. The view 1 hour before sunset into the park is truelly magical!
Hey, you can get a permit to shoot there at night you just have to talk to the park managers about it. So you can do that legally, you just pay more for the permit. Also the Sesriem campsite and lodge are between the main gate and the gate into the park. So they open their smaller gate into the desert one hour before the main gate gets opened. So you can drive down to Deadvlei in time for the sunrise. You can also make it back from watching the Dune 45 sunset. I just was there for two weeks doing a solo self-drive. Awesome spot.
Awesome guys... great advice and seeing the bromance blossom!! Lmao... 👍😆 was looking forward to the impressions (ala Patagonia) but not this time... cheers Jase 🏴👍😎
Ha. We went the wrong way in Deadvlei also. The sign you showed look like it’s pointing to the right and there was a post 100m to the right. We headed for the post and luckily someone shouted which way to go. We had it all to ourselves also
Awesome video! I’m planning a few trips next year and it’s nice to hear other photographers give their point of view on travel tips and great locations. Thank you.
At Sossusvlei I always stay at the campsite and you can definitely get down to the Deadvlei end (at least to the end of the sealed road) before sunrise, without speeding. I've been climbing one of the big dunes as the sun came up a few times now. Dune 45 is probably only half way down and I have photos of people waiting for the sunrise there. I've done it in winter and mid-summer as well, but in summer you want to be on your way off the dunes by 9:30am I'd say, because the sand get SO hot it will burn your feet quite badly of you aren't wearing closed shoes.
Great video , pressed play & smiled so much seeing you 2 guys back side by side. So cool 😎 Oh & what a fascinating & interesting location. It's so good to hear your views & experiences on such an intriguing & captivating place .
Looks like a fantastic place to get some unique landscape shots and the opportunity for amazing wildlife images too. Might bring a 600mm lens instead of the the 400mm though, just to stay a bit further from the lions ...
great video tom! more like this love the stories and pictures to go along with! my dream is to travel abroad taking photos and adventures. Maybe one day. Have to finish the gear list first.
These two define my pursuit of photography. I would love to do nothing more than to catch that one image (Heaton) but I can't help but shoot a few different compositions (van Son) every time. It's why I follow them religiously. I am checking off my list of gear and equipment as I watch this for my beach vacation and attempt at Milky Way photography! Awesome collaboration you two!!!
Really great video, there are so many amazing stories waiting to be told in Africa. It is pronounced "knee kon" according to the Nikon people I spoke with in Tokyo.
Screenshoting the location on Google maps is such a nice trick! I've been doing that to track my positions in Joshua Tree when I do hikes and backcountry
Screenshots would work in a pinch but I think Brendan was talking about using the Google Map option of downloading the map for offline use so the GPS could still be used to show your position in relation to your destination.
Have been there in 2009 and it made me start with photography as an serious hobby. Great and safe country. I liked to photograph the ghost town of Kolmanskop and the Skeleton coast and Fish River Canyon and the Kalahari desert and the Waterberg Plateau and the wild horses of Garup and ... Oh, wanne go there again.
Well, I'm going this week and I've planned to bring a Sigma 150-600mm, Sigma 10-20mm (f3.5), Yongnou 50mm (f1.8) and a Nikon 18-105mm (for my Nikon d5300) what would you say is the best to use? Your video kind of set me in the mood to get there even faster.. Can't wait!!
Hello Thomas, great video and really useful information, so many thanks for that. I'm going to Namibia March 2019 for a trip of a lifetime, and am honing up on my photography skills (amateur / enthusiast). I'll be taking over a month, starting in Windhoek heading to Fish River Canyon, then Northwards (via Swakopmund) to Kaokoland, Etosha, Caprivi strip and ending up in Zambia, just above the falls via a quick dip into Chobe. Your advice would be really appreciated before I commit to buying my new equipment. Also, I'm intending to trade "up" from a Nikon D7100 to a full-frame SonyA7 III. I'd value your advice and guidance for my trip.. In trying to keep my photo equipment weight to a minimum, what 2 lenses would you take? Based on your video advice, I guess the Sony FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 OSS G Master for the Etosha NP is the equivalent to your Canon. However, would you take something to complement this, like a Sony FE 24-70mm f/4 (or the f/2.8) or the Sony FE 16-35mm f/4 (or the f/2.8) for the Southern Namibia landscapes? I've been advised that the Sony FE 24-240mm f/3.5-6.3 would be good 'all-round' solution because I wouldn't need to change the lens. However, I'm worried that images might be a little soft with the 24-240mm. Maybe you might suggest something completely different?
This might not be true but it makes sense. I heard that digital cameras that are primarily for still images have that time limit to recording because if they can record endlessly they're categorised as a video camera for export/import purposes and would be hit with higher duties. Would love the visit Namibia. I've been to Iceland and imagine it's a lot like a bigger, hotter version of that :/
I've been looking at safari trips to Namibia and what really strikes me, as you mention in the video, is the size of the country. It's pretty glossed-over in the safari itineraries that I have seen, but there is soooo much driving involved in going to various destinations. Something like an average of 200km per day of driving over an 8 or 10 day trip. I can only imagine that means hours upon hours in vehicles driving on the gravel roads at 50-60kph. Not something I am interested in if I can't stop whenever I want to take photos.
Hey Tom, when you go away to places like this for a decent length of time how many memory cards do you take with you to make sure everything is backed up and you don't run out more importantly!?
Thanks for the great video! What about your gear? Did you have problems with dust? Next week I will travel to Namibia and I am a little worried about my Sigma lens which is not weather sealed.
Mark Luberichs Lots of sand but if you're careful when changing lenses you should be ok. I'd take a blower in case anything did get in the body. More tips here: www.intentstravel.com/photographing-namibia/
Don't forget the Welwitschia: www.info-namibia.com/activities-and-places-of-interest/swakopmund-surrounds/welwitschia-mirabilis Namibia is home to this amazing plant and apart from the botanical interest it makes a fantastic subject in the landscape.
Brendon.... Why have you not invited Thomas to Canada? So many different landscapes, so safe and accommodating, so chilled out. Great beer and wine too....
Peter Robinson It doesn't have to be nearly as expensive as they made it sound. My wife and I took a two week trip for less than $3500 total. www.intentstravel.com/namibia-budget/
But to get the costs that low you have you use points programs from credit card companies to get cheaper airfare. Sure, you can get the sign up bonuses the first time but if you've already used those points then how long does it take to build up more points? Won't it take years to earn those points again? Anyone living paycheck to paycheck should first work to build up their savings and only then consider something like this. So yeah for most people a trip like this will only be a dream.
Kenny Johnson Yes, that's with points but anyone in the US is capable of following the same strategy. I just find it frustrating that all travel related things don't mention cost effective solutions. I've also taken a 2 week trip to Patagonia like he mentioned for $2k not using any points. Just have to be willing to compromise on some things. There are literally hundreds of cards to get. It's unlikely you've gotten them all. Even still, some are churnable and allow you to get the sign up bonus multiple times. I agree with you though that no one living paycheck to paycheck should be going on this trip period. A solid emergency fund is essential. Excellent advice on that at mrmoneymustache.com. Here are more disclaimers and tips on credit card points. www.intentstravel.com/playing-the-points-game/
Tom, there was ( probably still is) a different taxation for kit entering the EU which was for video I.e. video kit attracted more tax. this was defined as jut that would record greater than 30 mins continual video. So camera manufactures artificially stopped video over 30 mins so they could be sold cheaper
Amazed that most of the comments are about how to pronounce Nikon (who cares) the video is about Namibia. I had actually booked a workshop back in April to Namibia with Thomas Heaton but for some reason it was cancelled. Fortunately I am going on 1st Sept on a different workshop, so great timing. I am going to post this on our own little travel site and hope it inspires and helps the others. Normall Thomas is Bear Grylls on steroids climbing up the mountains loaded with camera gear, I thought the Namibia trip would be great and keep him down at sea level. The Patagonia trip which they have for May 2019 sold out in 15 min. and there are 2 consequtive tours.
John P Not good for wildlife. Wildlife is best from June - October as that's dry season. The animals will be around the waterholes as described then. Also, that's the summer and it will be very hot. Here's some more info: www.intentstravel.com/photographing-namibia/
Thomas is right. It's Nikon (with the "ni" pronunciation similar to the "kni" of "knitting") not Nyekon. I live in Japan and have lived here since 2001 (Uni degree in Japanese and my wife is also Japanese).
The name in Japanese is pronounced 'Nikon (Nee-kon)' ;)
MacChan매찬 my understanding of Japanese is that it is pronounced phonetically, as Thomas said it. They don't lengthen any letters, the duration for each letter is equal.
You're correct Scott. Although there are double length vowels in Japanese, there's none in Nikon.
When I bought my very first Nikon, it was in Tokyo in 1969. They pronounced it Nee-kon.
Yes. I guess "Nikkon" would be closest with english pronounciation. (13 yrs in greater Tokyo and counting)
It sounds similar to “knee-Kon” (ニコン) anything else just sounds wrong to me now, haha.
Action!
Hi from Japan .
Thank you for this lovely Collaboration with Brendan . I’ve got to known him through your Vlog and I met him in my hostel in japan this April. I’m really happy to see both of you guys together ! You guys are absolutely Stun... ,, Absolutely ridicu...
oops yeah simply fantastic .
Thank you always for sharing such a motivate story !
Best comment ever!!!! Simply Fantastic.
Nice to see you here! Sadly, my memory card failed the day that you were on my vlog :(
Hopefully, I'll get back that way again some time.
Haha love your comment!
Greg Snell this is going to be my words then . Anyway I’ve been really enjoying your channel ,too after PATAGONIA . Thanks Greg for fantastic footage always !!
Brendan van Son it’s very sad but not a big problem! Come back anytime and keep feeding ridiculous adventure !
See you soon in the world .
Thanks for making my country sound so epic Thomas.
My feet are absolutely stunning.
man this video is crazy!
loved loved loved watching this
you landscape photography from namibia is just stellar!
Yessssssssssss two awesome photographers in the same video!!!!
I was so pleasantly surprised to see this.
Thomas, I can not get enough of your content!
I've been so busy with life that I'm 6 months behind Thomas' videos!
Wooo can't believe the coincidence guys, I'm going to Namibia in a week! Thanks for all the tips, you both are always fun to watch!
Such a great topic! Thanks for sharing. You guys are great together!

Thomas Houston do you know the exact name of the lodge you’re talking about? Thanks!
Can get more info on that ?
Just goes to show the reputation you both have as this vlog is still running and both tours are sold out. Amazing stuff
Great video, I knew most of the facts, but still very interesting, Namibia is in my head for years...
Its great to see you guys together.
Thanks for taking the time for such a detailed video.
oh man, I really want to go here. GREAT info guys. Always appreciate it!
Love the photographer's view videos!
Thanks guys. Planning a 2 wk photography trip to Namibia i oct 2019 and this video was very tres informative.
See you in Patagonia in April
Awesome guys... great advice and seeing the bromance blossom!! Lmao... 👍😆 was looking forward to the impressions (ala Patagonia) but not this time... cheers Jase 🏴👍😎
Love both your channels..... in fact I don’t even watch tv anymore.... I just watch your channels... keep up the great work❤️
Ha. We went the wrong way in Deadvlei also. The sign you showed look like it’s pointing to the right and there was a post 100m to the right. We headed for the post and luckily someone shouted which way to go. We had it all to ourselves also

Two of my favourites together again, you guys work so well together 😂
Great discussion. And that's a pretty nice Utah t-shirt Thomas. 😁
Great video , pressed play & smiled so much seeing you 2 guys back side by side. So cool 😎 Oh & what a fascinating & interesting location. It's so good to hear your views & experiences on such an intriguing & captivating place .
YES....., Good the best two photographer in great video. I watch of your video.👍👍👍 Thank!
Cool collaboration great advice from the road warriors. Thanks for sharing
Looks like a fantastic place to get some unique landscape shots and the opportunity for amazing wildlife images too. Might bring a 600mm lens instead of the the 400mm though, just to stay a bit further from the lions ...
might be a mistake... Nam is pretty flat and hot - the longer the lens, the more heat distortion... just my 2c..
The 150-600mm - I used a Tamron SP 150-600 - is a good choice for Namibia...
flic.kr/p/24ZtGHR
I'll have to put it on my list. Thank you guys for sharing your trip.
great video tom! more like this love the stories and pictures to go along with! my dream is to travel abroad taking photos and adventures. Maybe one day. Have to finish the gear list first.

In the next Patagonia workshop, will you promise that Brendan will wear those white boots again? Lol !!! The boots alone would be worth the trip!
Perfect timing! Just as you said, "...you want 400mm." FedEx drove up with my B&H delivery of a 100-400mm Canon lens!
WOOHOO!!!!
Great dual vlog . Awesome
Thomas you were supposed to end the video by saying: “Until next time, bye for now”
Lol, I watch way too many of your videos 😊
Good video Tom, these are a useful series. Liked the background music too; unobtrusive but sets a nice chilled mood :) .
Love your new haircut (style) !
Good to see you guys making a video together. I follow both your channels. Keep up the good work.

Love it!
Please do more of this style of video of different locations you guys have enjoyed
Hey Brendan, sounds like you've been to a bunch of the wildlife parks in Africa.
Any chance of a video with some reccommendations on the best ones?
Well, I'm going this week and I've planned to bring a Sigma 150-600mm, Sigma 10-20mm (f3.5), Yongnou 50mm (f1.8) and a Nikon 18-105mm (for my Nikon d5300) what would you say is the best to use? Your video kind of set me in the mood to get there even faster.. Can't wait!!
As someone from Utah, I dig the shirt dude.
I think it's "ni" as in the knights who say ni!
could not believe how FAST the workshops sold out!
Hello Thomas, great video and really useful information, so many thanks for that.

Such an amazingly beautiful location. Not sure though that I’ll ever venture there. Thanks for sharing!
Great video. Also what months were you there to see wildlife?? What lens did you shoot the dunes with??
Good to see you 2 together.
Sorry to ask , but 4x4 options are all fully booked . U think I can drive all those destinations in Namibia with Toyota Corolla ?
No mention of the huge Baobab trees in the eastern part of the country... well worth the trip
This might not be true but it makes sense. I heard that digital cameras that are primarily for still images have that time limit to recording because if they can record endlessly they're categorised as a video camera for export/import purposes and would be hit with higher duties.
Would love the visit Namibia. I've been to Iceland and imagine it's a lot like a bigger, hotter version of that :/
Always love to watch your new video 👍👍👍
Is is pronounced "stooning" or "stunning"?
Great collab! Peace and bye for now!
hope to visit there is august, did you find the heat haze to be an issue?
So next time I’ll take my tripod to look like a serious photographer... 😂
i really liked seeing this video. keep going 👌
Great 🎥!
I've been looking at safari trips to Namibia and what really strikes me, as you mention in the video, is the size of the country. It's pretty glossed-over in the safari itineraries that I have seen, but there is soooo much driving involved in going to various destinations.

Hey Tom, when you go away to places like this for a decent length of time how many memory cards do you take with you to make sure everything is backed up and you don't run out more importantly!?
You guys are so hardcore. My idea of ‘roughing it’ is slow room service.
Oh man, I hate it when i go to a 5-star hotel and the room service doesn't show up. Rough life.
no question- NEE-KON!
Great video, I’m thinking of going there next year..
Any recommendations where to book the Sossus Dune Lodge? Is there an official site? Thank you so much :)
Thanks for the great video! What about your gear? Did you have problems with dust? Next week I will travel to Namibia and I am a little worried about my Sigma lens which is not weather sealed.
Mark Luberichs Lots of sand but if you're careful when changing lenses you should be ok. I'd take a blower in case anything did get in the body. More tips here:
www.intentstravel.com/photographing-namibia/
Alright, thank you! :)
Let me be the frst to cmnt..awesome one Thomas..you my idol😊
Nice video! And I’m finally early
Don't forget the Welwitschia: www.info-namibia.com/activities-and-places-of-interest/swakopmund-surrounds/welwitschia-mirabilis Namibia is home to this amazing plant and apart from the botanical interest it makes a fantastic subject in the landscape.
Cracking video, with some spot on useful tips. Keleton coast sounds like a fantastic adventure, though Kolmanskop has a huge draw for me.
Brendon.... Why have you not invited Thomas to Canada? So many different landscapes, so safe and accommodating, so chilled out. Great beer and wine too....
He can't handle cows! You think he'll be able to handle the bears?
Great vid! Looks like a great place to shoot.
Hey, Brendan! Tell me where to buy that nice, white gum boots... Love it! (Good work, guys ;) )
Loved the chat, but that will be in my dreams
Peter Robinson It doesn't have to be nearly as expensive as they made it sound. My wife and I took a two week trip for less than $3500 total.

Another recommended area to visit is the Fish Creek Canyon. Ok, it is far in the South though ...
Tom you are right about Nikon. I have no idea if I voted correctly though
Please do a video about snowdonia in the UK!
I'd like this, as going there for a photography 'holiday' in September :-)
He did, though it was short

My favorite shirt of yours... But I'm biased due to living there. 😋 Live life elevated..😎
Informative and very amusing.cheers.
you guys are great :)

John P Not good for wildlife. Wildlife is best from June - October as that's dry season. The animals will be around the waterholes as described then. Also, that's the summer and it will be very hot.
Here's some more info:
www.intentstravel.com/photographing-namibia/
1. nice 2. ahah nice that vloged with an m50 - didnt expect that ^^
Patagonia again 😍
You should do a trip to the Australian red centre
I only remembered Brandon's white wellies
Thomas is right. It's Nikon (with the "ni" pronunciation similar to the "kni" of "knitting") not Nyekon. I live in Japan and have lived here since 2001 (Uni degree in Japanese and my wife is also Japanese).
Loving the elevator / 70's department store background music ...... but not quite as much as your vlogs :)
