- This week we head further into the desert to Sossusvlei and climb some of the world highest sand dunes. This is the 6th episode of our family overlanding Africa adventure and is one of our favourites. Since leaving van life Europe our adventures have got wilder and hotter.
After attempting a climb of the worlds highest sand dune we get stuck and then all of a sudden in true Newby fashion plans change.....

The look of sheer determination. on Tara's face when climbing the dune says it all!!! It is life's example of the first words of your motto: BE BRAVE!!❤🙌🌈
Hiya Newbys! No need to apologise re shoes! Anyone can see how happy your munchkins are without them 😄😄. I love your chaos …… it’s real. The food looked delicious 👍👍👍. Sawyer is becoming a real character , bless his heart ❤️. Thankyou so much for sharing ……until next time xx❤️💙💙💙
You have the seemingly happiest easy going baby boy 👦 xx
Thanks Robin, he is super chilled little boy. Crusoe sends lots of hugs and we all send our thanks for watching. great to have you along for this adventure. 🇵🇹❤️🙏
Another episode which made me bawl my eyes out! Deserts give me the Heeby Jeebies! You are very brave!
Love the way you and John let your gorgeous boys have freedom on the farm barefoot! My Granddaughters are the same….. hate shoes of any kind ! ❤😂 xxx
Thanks for another great vlog of your adventures! Take care John, Tara and Crusoe!
Hi Linda, great to hear from you. Thanks so much for watching and joining our adventure. What a week it’s been! 🙏🏼😊👍🏼
Wow.... I could almost feel the heat whilst you walked the dunes and I adore the petrified trees. What an amazing adventure. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Hi Julie! Hot hot HOT!! Well worth it though. We have loved the adventure this week provided. Thanks so much for watching friend. Great to have you along for the journey. 😊🙏🏼👍🏼
Wow amazing scenery could feel the heat just watching it. Lovely following your adventures looking forward to the next one 😀
Hi Karen, always great to hear from you! Thanks for watching. It’s been a hot week for sure, but a fun one. Thanks for your support and we see you next week! Happy Christmas. 🎄☀️😀
I remember when I was there I thought I was going to die. It was so hot. You need a hat and long sleeves because of that hot sun. Back at camp, I did not realize that there was a nice pool. I was standing underneath those big and tall water tanks, they were overflowing, trying to cool off. I only saw the pool when we left. I couldn't believe that I missed it.. I did jump in for a quick swim then. I will never forget the whole experience. Awesome to see everything again.
Not much to say just relaxing 😎 👋👋😘
What an amazing country. Feel hot just watching.
Thanks Alan, indeed an epic country, and VERY HOT!!!! ☀️☀️😅 Happy Christmas friend. :)
@@TheNewbys happy Christmas to you all
@@alannorman1773 thanks friend and to you too.
You deserve a trophy, travelling with a baby , ho lord!!!! Blessings
We love it Delia, its a great adventure!!
You guys are great! Thanks for sharing your adventures. I live in Indiana and I have a son who lives in Cape Town. I have been to Namibia years ago. I love the African Continent. Be safe and keep enjoying the ride!
Hi Laura, great to hear from you, how is Indiana?! We bet your adventure in Namibia was amazing and you have lots of great memories. Your son lives in a great city! Thanks for watching friend. 🙏🏼👍🏼😊
What an experience you’ve shared with us! The diamond treasures that popped out of the desert, as you described so graphically, and were swept away by the Orange river to be scattered far away. I love the thought of them lying safely in the sand, wild horses walking slowly over them, snakes curled around them, just as they should be… Africa, the word for a wonderfully diverse land rich in history and full of mystery. I’m just going to shake the dust off my slippers and have my morning coffee. What fun we all had, thank you so much.x
Hi Anne! Thanks for leaving us a comment friend it is such a nice one to read, almost poetic. Beautiful are of our planet. Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏❤️
Love to see the happy baby and parents having so much fun.
Hope that everything is ok with you all.
Stay safe and alive.
Lot´s of love
Hi Meinart, how are you friend. Is it cold? How’s Monica and the dogs? All good this end, negotiating African boarders and enjoying the desert! Be well and happy Christmas!! 🙏👍❤️
Hello, Newbies... another great video. I was reading some of the comments and someone compared the sand with snow. At least snow melts. That shower must have felt fantastic. You all have fair complexions, be careful with the sun. My eldest daughter and I went to Trinidad in March and got slow roasted. We were from Rochester, NY where it was freezing cold and the sun wasn't at a high trajectory. So going to the equator was HOT 🔥🔥🔥. Carrie and I laughed because our sunburns were horrible. Felt like alligator skin. Not complaining, just reminiscing about our adventure, that was 30 years ago. Hot or not Crusoe is singing to you now. Love seeing your family, take care and be safe. Merry Christmas. ☃️⛄🎄🎉🎅🤶👼❤
It is 1 am. 😊here in Chicago, and we have been watching your old videos since 10 pm! You guys are brave! Crusoe is a super trooper! Awww he lost his hat with dinos.
Ah thank you so much friend. We love being able to share all these exciting adventures with you. we are so appreciate of your support 😊🙏🏼❤️
Very nail biting ride even watching it! Well done. Our planet is an amazing place! Thank you for taking us along with you!
Our planet is indeed an amazing place, we love it. Great to hear from you, and thanks for watching friend. Thanks so much for taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🌍

Wow that was so brave. What an adventure. With adventure there is often risk involved. Glad you got a helping hand from Clement.
Thanks Peter! Big relief for sure. Another great adventure.
Brilliant video as always, I loved the Petrified trees and the colours, absolutely stunning, would love to go there
Thanks Kristina! Great to have you with us and we hope you have a very merry Christmas!!
What a great adventure. It is very hot in Shropshire but I think the desert looks hotter just 😄👋👋👋🧡🧡🧡
Thanks Glenys!! You are quite right friend, it was HOT! Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your constant support is so very much appreciated! 😊😊❤️❤️
Amazing! Im catching up on one year of your wonderful videos from my little town. 💚💙💜
Ah amazing, we hope you enjoy them Merry ❤️❤️
Thank you for another great video, I wish we could have some of that heat back here in the UK, the sand dunes looked amazing and its crazy to think those trees are just 'there' in the middle of the desert. Enjoy your time at the hotel and have a great Christmas, thanks again for sharing see you all again soon!!!
Morning Dave, Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. The winter certainly draws in in the UK, but we just read good news that Boris won’t be locking you guys down. Happy Christmas friend, thanks for your support and thanks so much for leaving us a comment. 👍👍❤️🎄
At last I have been able to watch this video and what a treat it was definitely worth waiting for. As you know for me the desert and brown surroundings are not what I would call fun but it was good to see how much fun it could be. Thank you.
Love you lots mum, thanks for being our biggest supporter. Means the world to us. ❤️
So beautiful... thank you😊
Hi Carol, Thank you for leaving us a comment, your support is really welcome. 🙏👍🌍
I’ve been following you on your new adventure in Portugal, and today I decided to go back and look at your beginnings! Yes, it looks fantastic and like a lot of fun but at my age I’m just gonna enjoy it from my home!! my knees hurt after the sand🤣
That sand getting into everything would finish us off!
At least you can’t complain about the weather 😎
Or lockdowns!!! For now. Thanks for watching guys. We appreciate it. Off to check your video just now. 👍👍

Watching here new friend
Hi Tri, Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. Happy new year. 👍
I ❤ Namibia. Lived in Windhoek with fam for a couple of weeks. Loved this video as I have yet to visit the " Big Daddy" and " Deadvlei".
That is amazing Martine, we also LOVE Namibia ❤️❤️❤️
Ah guys! This was just great - always a pleasure to experience the world through your eyes, thank you! I feel like the adult Newbys should also invest in caps /hats ;)
Thanks Dee!! And yes, dont you worry - Father Christmas brought us hats this year so we're all set for 2022! Happy New Year friend, sending lots of love xx
I’m not sure how RUclips KNEW I needed this but ….. I’m sitting at the moment surrounded by maps preparing for next years trip to Damaraland. Sesfontein, Pupros, Twyfelfontein and the “drummer” ( rooi , groen etc ) and all the good places. Looking forward to your next episode.
Hi Mark. Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. we have just left Damaraland, and it was our favourite part of Namibia, truly fantastic. Currently putting a video together for that adventure. The desert adapted elephants and the Himba ladies were real highlights. Good luck with your own trip, it will be excellent we are sure. 👍👍🙏🇳🇦
Hi, desert wild people! Fun to live with you in the heat of the desert. Had to go to the shower myself and empty my shoes, out of the snow.
Crusoe chuckles and adventures with the right attitude.
Cheers here from cold Finland 🇫🇮🎅🏼
Hi TripMood!! 🇫🇮🇫🇮 Snow in your shoes, love it!! almost the same like sand :) It's been a great week of adventure thats for sure. Thank you so much for watching, Kiitos friend. 🙏👍☀️
@@TheNewbys ❄🎅🏼🤠☃
Hey guys it's me your friend Anna wow beautiful those beautiful dunes I went the first time in my life to the dunes at the cape in Boston and it was absolutely breathtaking just like yours are breathtaking sorry about losing cruso's hat thank you for taking me with you again that sun looks so hot I could not have standard I don't look good in the heat anyways again thank you for taking me with you and I'll see you next week stay safe stay cool and have fun
Hello our friend Ana! Always wonderful to hear from you, thanks for being here this week! Yes the dunes were beautiful and the sun was very very hot!! Crusoe was such a little champ though wasn’t he? 😊 thank you for being here with us again and we will see you soon, have a very merry Christmas! 🙏🏼 ❤️
👍🎉
Totally enjoyed watching your journey. Stay save!
Thank you friend🙏👍🌍
Stunning scenery! Those roads reminded me of my time in Namibia in the mid to late 80s. I can’t wait for the Damaraland video as that is where I did my MSc in Geology!
Hey Felix! Busy week in the sand. We are surprised that there were cars capable of driving into the dunes in the 80s!! Were there cars back then?? 😂😂😂 Damaraland is one of our favourite blogs, we hope you enjoy it and see familiar places. Thanks so much for watching!😊🙏🏼❤️
We've got back home after a month on the road and now catching up on your adventures guys .... we love your content!
Those sand dunes and the petrified forest ... oh gosh, how marvelous is our mother nature!
Greetings from New Zealand :)
Hello friends!! A month on the road, that’s fantastic to hear. We hope you had an amazing time with plenty of adventure. Thank you for tuning in and watching our channel, we are super grateful for your support. 👍❤️ The dunes were amazing, HOT! our favourite bit on this adventure so far was definitely when Crusoe met his first elephant, so look out for that one. Great to hear from you, and thanks for watching friends. 👍🙏🌍🤗
@@TheNewbys can't wait to watch your other videos we have on queue ... we are Crusoe's biggest fans :) ...
It will be the greatest binging time!
Our adventure was amazing, we are so grateful for all the hiking and cycling.we've done :D -- Our last month was great, we were chasing waterfalls, and sleeping in amazing places thanks to our campervan Olivia - that was just fantastic!
We would love to hear soon a review between what do you prefer... a campervan or that gorgeous 4w4 -- the pros and cons! etc :)
Take care and keep enjoying this amazing family time!!!
Have a lovely Christmas guys!!
Thanks Hixxy! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. Happy Christmas to you too!!
Wow they are so neat. I never would have made it walking in all that sand and heat!!!! I think a treat of a hotel stay was the perfect idea!!!!
Hi Donna, hot weeks exploring. Those dunes are truly epic. The hotel at the end of the adventure was a real treat. Thanks for watching. 🙏🏼😊👍🏼
spent many a hot day there after a climb up the dunes with my toddler. we make use of the the posh lodges near by who are happy to serve day-visitors a frosty lager around the pool - then head back to camp when it cools down
Hi David! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. Thats a really great tip for people. Love it! 👍❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hi! Excellent Vlog again. Really looooove seeing Crusoe's happy cheeky cutie face and the love of y'all as a family. It definitely looked quite daunting that Big Daddy! Hah when you said "I will definitely one day going to climb Big daddy!" LOL!!! Funny!!! (sorry! :P) can't wait to see your adventure in Windhoek! p/s those Oryx!!!! Incredible!!!
Hi MakLeemah Cleopatah, great to hear from you friend! Always nice to see a comment from you come in. That big daddy needs some serious attention ;) It's been quite a journey and we are excited for the next part of the adventure. Thanks for watching!
I could almost feel the heat from here and it was minus 3 last night! Crusoe's a little imp for tossing his hat away, glad to know he's got another one but perhaps you should all be wearing them as you can't sunscreen your scalps? The scenery was awe inspiring ,as always thank you for taking us along!
Hi Claire, quite right about the hats. We have all been out looking for good ones. For Crusoe a hat with a strap on it. 😉 A hot week for sure and one we have loved. Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏☀️
I must sound like an old nag but here in S.E France the sun gets hot enough, can't imagine what it's like in the desert!
Wow
Thanks Belinda! Epic trip!!
Wow big sand 😮you did it 😮😅
Great video. Stunning scenery. Those trees are amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Sylvia, Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. An amazing place to have visited. We are truly thankful for the experience. 🙏👍
Tara u were so brave!! There is no way I could climb those dunes! I tried it once in Michigan and it was terrible experience!❤❤❤❤
Thanks Linda!
WOW! What an amazing place! We are so impressed with you three! Nothing will stop the adventures, love it! I can only imagine how pampered you all felt at the hotel! Fabulous video!! ~Cara 😊
Hi Cara, great to hear from you! Indeed what an amazing place! The hotel was a life saver. Phew!! Thanks for watching, and as always thank you for your kind comment. Say hi to John from us! 🙏🧡
@@TheNewbys 🎄🎅🏼😊
Crusoe seems to be already talking to you 🤗 I’m amazed at the bitumen roads and of course the red colour the whole place is really amazing and you are very brave stay safe 😊
Thanks so much Denise, we are loving watching our little man grow, he’s amazing. Have a very merry Christmas and we will see you soon 😊🙏🏼❤️

Another amazing journey sure looked hot there and all that sand.looking forward to next week vlog.Crusoe looks well and i bet your all so pleased to get rid of all the sand.
Hi Lee, that sand gets everywhere!!! Crusoe is rocking the desert and has loved the journey so far, he just met his first elephant!!!! A very hot episode concluded, onto the next one. Thank you so much, as always for watching friend. It's always terrific to hear from you.
Wishing you a very Happy Christmas where you are and a great New Year 🎄🎄❄️🎉

Hi Fatima, thanks for watching friend!

Great adventure!!! From my desert experiences sand gets everywhere and stays with you long after you have left!!! Looking forward to next weeks video. Oh, happy Xmas!!!!!!!
Haha quite right Mike, we’re still finding sand in the bottom of our shoes and bags 😂 hope you’re well friend, and have a very merry Christmas.
What a fantastic place! And Crusoe did talk!!!!!!!! Stunning scenery - thanks guys!!!
Thanks Ellie, quite right, an amazing place. Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏☀️
@@TheNewbys Our pleasure to go with you. We are excited to watch next week!! Are you going to Table Mountain?? Ever since I was young I have wanted to go there!!!
@@geegeeandlulu and it's great to have you along for the ride! Thank you. :) We have already been to Table mountain, but we didnt film anything from there ;( it's a great hike up, thats for sure! We hope you get there soon!!
Can't imagine so much sand. Would be a nerve wracking drive. Landscape does remind me of the movie dune without the spice worms. Great video and see you next week.
Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄🎄
Hey Sharon! Yea, we watched Dune the other night and it felt very familiar - so pleased there were no spice worms though, unless that’s where Crusoe’s hat went?!? 😉 !! 😂😂😂 thanks for being here, means a lot to us!
Looking forward to the urban scenes next week.
Hi Bill, good to hear from you friend. Thank you as always for watching. 🙏🌍👍
I am new on your channel and I am just enjoying you both, I had to laugh a bit though when you said tables are turned when John asked you if you could tie his shoe lace.
hahaha
Thanks for watching Donna, and thank you for joining us. 🙏❤️ Great to hear from you we are really pleased that you are enjoying joining the journey. 👍

Cool place hey Esra?! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend.

Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. ❤️❤️
Adorei viajar no deserto da Namíbia em vossa companhia...Os neus sapatos são virtuais por isso não tive areia que pena🥲💖
Ahh thanks Paula, it’s a beautiful country.
Another great video,at the moment I'm living my dreams through these videos because my SA/Zim trip has just been cancelled (covid) keep up the good work and THANK YOU 👍
Hi Graham, Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. What a journey! We are so sorry to hear your trip has been cancelled, are you able to rebook? Definitely worth it! 🙏🌍👍
I have got a refund from British airways and will now wait till later in the year and see what develops before rebooking 😊
Crusoe is getting bigger 🐣😊
Hi Esra, Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. Crusoe is getting HUGE!! 😂😂❤️
My husband and I love settling down for an episode of the Newby's. Where do you get your background music from, often as lovely as the scenery?
Hi Liz, Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. we use soundstripe for our music, it’s a subscription service and has loads of lovely music. Of course picking the right tracks for the right videos is important. Tara tends to always do that. New video out later today, hope you enjoy it. 🙏❤️👍
Hi Newbys that looks fun :) I have a question . On earlier videos you said “we sold our house “ and a new videos you said you mention you house it’s two diferentes houses ?
Thanks Karina, good question. It’s been a long old journey and in that time we have moved house. 👍
What gear did you use for this video?
Hi there, we used our iPhones to film. Is that what you mean? Thanks for watching friend!! 🙏👍
I'm amazed you both weren't wearing hats walking in the dunes, weren't you afraid of heat stroke, seeing it's so hot there ?
It was a great day.
Hi Tara John and Crusoe,think you made the right decision to turn back it’s got to be to hot 🥵 for Crusoe and both of you ,but what a climb in them sand hills ,what makes the sand white ? Are you just told me lol ,Crusoe is as good as usual he is so beautiful and contented such a good boy ,I can’t believe his hat disappeared just like that mmmm ,bet you are pleased you have Diff lock John,a Barth what a pleasure to get in it and get all that sand out of all them crack and crannies lol 😂 take that as you wish ,I bet Crusoe enjoyed a Barth splash splash I’m having fun Mummy Daddy,just look at me hehe 😉,what a great and interesting blog most enjoyable till next time take care all of you keep safe drive careful, John 🎅🏻🎄🤷♂️🤷♀️🌟🌟🌹🌹💐💐🤩🤭
Always so great to hear from you John, thank you so much for your incredible support, it means so much to us. We’re not actually sure what made the sand white in Dead Vlei, that’s a very good question 🤔 have a merry Christmas and we will see you soon!!
do you pay extra to enter the game park in Namibia lke you do in South Africa
Hi Rupert, yes you pay a little extra, but it’s not much. $10-20 per person. Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🎄
Very risky for a baby but at least you got through.
Hi Suzanne, good to hear from you. Both myself and John have been travelling for over two decades now, and risk is something we don’t like. Please rest assured we would never put Crusoe our little boy anywhere close to anything dangerous. It looks a little risky perhaps for RUclips value, but it’s all very safe. Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🐘🦒
@@TheNewbys that is comforting to know but he needs sunblock, shoes and a hat in in this intense sun
@@suzannep8371 quite right. He had sunblock all over his exposed skin, so that good news, and of course he had a hat too. Thanks for the parenting advice, we do take our jobs as Crusoes mum and dad very seriously and look after him well. It’s just his first years of life will be a little less normal than most young boys, hopefully they will be brilliant. This Sunday the little man is surrounded by Meerkats, imagine that, very cool!! 👍🐘🦒👍
@@TheNewbys I’m not meaning to be funny with you. I was just making an observation that’s all. I will keep my options to myself in future. Sorry but being a parent never leaves you even when they have flown the nest.
Please don’t worry Suzanne, all taken in the manner it’s intended we promise 😊 thanks for being here and for the support ❤️
Have you been to the deserts of Australia?
Not as a family, but we certainly plan on heading out that way!! 🙏👍❤️
Oh my goodness! What a place! Is the sand hot? On a hot summer’s day in Australia when you walk on the dry sand on the beach you can feel the unbearable hot sand even while wearing thongs (known as flip flops in other countries) or in a pair of sandals …. and there you were sinking into it. That looked like a hard slog getting as far as you did… well done. Is it a cooler place in say July, for you to try next time?
Hi Tiina, Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. The Namib desert is truly hot, I guess similar to parts of Australia. Wow we can’t wait to tour around your country, it will be epic. Namibia is indeed cooler in July, it’s a good idea to head there earlier in the year, next time we will for sure. Thanks so much for taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🌍☀️
Is it allowed to cruise this dunes with motorcycles dirt bikes?
Hi Quinton, Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. its not allowed to drive in the dunes in this area. 👍
You have to read the book of Henno Martin,
" the sheltering desert",
in german "Wenn es Krieg gibt, gehen wir in die Wüste"..
We haven’t. Read that one. Is it good?
@@TheNewbys
very good...
later 'Prof' Martin, was a famous geologist, and as young man, working in Namibia, observed the political situation before ww2...and for avoiding to get a call as soldier, and he knew the desert very well, he decided to hide himself and his friend in the desert. Finally stayed there for years...and it was dangerous for being detected meaned death penalty...
just read it - You will learn a lot about Namibia and history!
What a hairy situation. Hope you don't become crispy critters. 😳
All cool Bev! Thanks for watching!!!
1 bar tire pressure! Please!
Hi Piet! 😂😂😂😂 you bet!! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend.
I notice you aren't wearing some kind of hat to screen your face and eyes from the sun and bright reflections.
Hi Elizabeth, Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. we had both hats and sunscreen on. The hats got lost! ❤️🙏
Could you please put a hat on your baby. In Australia it is compulsory for the children from kindergarten to primary school to wear a hat. Great journeys! 😊 🇦🇺
Hi Kerry, great to hear from you, you will notice that Crusoe has a hat on all of the time he is in the sun, we agree that it is very important. Thanks for watching friend!
In Australia it's compulsory to do just about everything.
