    I can attest to it that there's stock theft in those areas, and farmers lost a lot of their animals, sometimes one needs to notify the nearby farmer if camping.....

      yeah, it's like all your worst thoughts coming true when wildcamping...has anything happened to you while wildcamping before?

    On the headlamp / gun in your face part, I would not have slept all night. And very cool animal footage... I was surrounded in my tent (wild camping in a random hay field) by a huge pack of coyotes in Montana this past September... Scary even though I knew they posed no real threat. Subscribed and awaiting each video like I did when Iohan G. and Forestry Forest (Simon L.) posted cycling videos. Good stuff!

    A night to forget closely followed by a night to remember.

    Glad nothing came of the gunman situation. Scary, but keeping calm helps. On ya.

      Yeah, at the time I was convinced he was talking to his friends and they were there to Rob me. All worked out in the end

    How come you were driving around Etosha after sunset though? Were you on an organised game drive? Everyone has to be out of the park by sunset or in one of the camps.

    I bet the sound of the elephants and rhinos were just amazing....

      Was a childhood dream to see these animals and the main reason for me to cycle in Africa. So I was really happy

    This shocking! Anywhere in this world, Why should one camp in isolation and in such a place😳? As a Namibian, knowing that its safe in our country, I still takr precautions ... So sorry for the bad experience

      I was 50km to a town in both directions and didn't have a choice. All worked out in the end. Thanks for watching

      @@iamlewiblake Next time, ask anyone to help, they normally will accommodate you for free, even the San people will give you a safe camping sight in their areas....🙏🏿.
