Welcome back everybody! I hope you enjoy the continuation of our journey together? I struggled with the text on the Thumbnail a little - I went with 'Rebel Yell' as I listened to the song during the day - can you suggest anything better?!

@friedakarl7514 Год назад

.Our streets are laid out in a grit so yes they are straight. Very nice to drive on them

@jacquesleroux5069 Год назад

Watching this great adventure from the lush winelands around Stellenbosch!

@roamingyak Год назад

Lovely area! I spent 6 weeks completely rewiring my Landy at Mettes Auto Electrical in Stellenbosch with Claus, Henk and the rest of the great team there in 2019, I enjoyed the experience! Previously I stayed with a chap called Louie and neighbour Hennie out near Wellington in 2010, its always been a friendly area for me - so many Landies around! :-) Thanks for leaving a comment!

Hey Darrin, we bumped into you about 15 months or so ago in Hwange National park. before you headed back into Botswana and you shared some interedable stories in the 20 minutes we were chatting. So glad to see the RU-vid channel up and running and love your story telling. Happy travels! Paul and Lucy, Australia

@roamingyak 7 месяцев назад

Hey Paul & Lucy! Lovely to hear from you, I remember our chat well. I hope the rest of your trip was interesting? Thanks for checking out my videos, and glad you love them!! :-) Cheers, Darrin

@RobertVinet Год назад

Enjoying the series Darrin. Thank you for sharing and bringing us along. Looking forward to the next episode.

@roamingyak Год назад

Glad you are enjoying them Robert, thanks!

Watching from central London, where the desert seems so far away. I was reminiscing earlier this evening about an amazing trip I took some years ago through the desert near Wadi Rum and then on through Syria and Iran, so this video with the big big skies and broad horizons reminded me of that. The clouds in some clips looked just like cotton wool!

@roamingyak Год назад

Thanks mate. I left some of the shots quite long and open, so that people had a chance to experience their own thoughts and feelings before the story moved on.... glad it worked in your case :-) Thanks for the continued support and encouragement.

@baileysrun Год назад

I'm loving the series, Darrin. You're a natural story-teller! I'm very tempted to jump in my own faithful Defender and head for the nearest port!

@roamingyak Год назад

Thanks mate, much appreciated! Why not, a spare wheel, toolbox and a sense of adventure/naivety is all that you need :-)

@ZARRugby Год назад

Watching from Canada. Loving it. You were the lucky one to avoid lockdowns. Keep on going.

@roamingyak Год назад

Thanks Patrick! :-)

@stuartrollings602 Год назад

Watching from Texas! Looks like parts of our western areas! Appreciate the ride! Be safe!

@roamingyak Год назад

Thanks Stuart, you too!

@patrickoneill4008 Год назад

Great fun video, I'll be there in February 2024 and can't wait. your video is both fun and educational.

@roamingyak Год назад

Thanks Patrick! Really glad you appreciate it - hopefully see you there next year!

@irissmit3509 Год назад

Watching from Wellington in the Winelands - and so jealous, awesome adventure!

@roamingyak Год назад

Thanks Iris!! But I'd suggest you visit your doctor or find some relaxing herbs - this is very much just the warm up episodes, your jealousy might become toxic as both my filming and editing get better! I've filmed 10 series that are waiting to be edited... I stayed with a chap called Louie and neighbour Hennie out near Wellington in 2010 on my 3 year trip around Africa, it was a safe haven of rest and calm on a very long trip... ;-)

@k1000bares 11 месяцев назад

Hi there! I've been watching your videos for a while, quite interesting ones. I'm watching you from Colombia in South America

@roamingyak 11 месяцев назад

Awesome! Thank you! Hello to all of the lovely people in Columbia :-)

@jjwotan8447 Год назад

vivement le prochain épisode

@roamingyak Год назад

Moi aussi! J'ai commencé à le modifier hier. Bien à vous, Darrin

Happy journey from Hamilton ON,Canada

@roamingyak Год назад

Thanks Frieda! I just looked Hamilton up on a map - you have a lot of straight roads! ;-)

@monnawapye1995 Год назад

Watching from Botswana - Namibia's neighbour!

@roamingyak Год назад

Hello Botswana! Welcome aboard!

@jepc001 Год назад

Loving the series Darrin, watching from Hong Kong 👍

@roamingyak Год назад

Thanks! Glad your enjoying it...

@alexsouvairan8489 Год назад

Watching from Alberta, Canada. Thank you for the content.

@roamingyak Год назад

My pleasure Alex, nice to have some viewers in Alberta!

@JeremyEdwards996 Год назад

I love your videos; you can feel the heat!

@roamingyak Год назад

Thanks mate, it was pretty toasty!!

@estradaarmory Год назад

Great video, love it. Can't wait for the skeleton coast!!! Also, fun fact, my wife has been to Burkina Faso 🙂

@roamingyak Год назад

Oh, thanks Estrada! Plenty of the coastline coming up, on both the Angolan and Namibian sides... Did your wife have any fun in Burkina though!?? 😂😂🤣

@estradaarmory Год назад

@@roamingyak she said "Burkina Fhaso was hot, humid, the people were very friendly we ate at some local spots in Ouagadougou." Sounds like she had a blast 🥂

@roamingyak Год назад

@@estradaarmory Yes! 🙂Ouagadougou is one of the harder places to learn how to pronounce correctly! I have fond memories of both Mali and Burkina, generally people are friendly and helpful everywhere in Africa ;-)

@martinqualters608 Год назад

Happy days, a new video from Darrin.....great content as usual. Those wide open spaces are hard to capture on film, but if you've experienced it your video evokes those memories. Top job mate, and I think your grandparents would be well proud of you and what you do. Roll on the next episode.

@roamingyak Год назад

Thanks as ever for your support Martin, really glad you continue to enjoy my films :-)

@cantaygok Год назад

watching from Istanbul, Turkey. Been twice to Namibia but not to the north west. Planning an overlander trip for next year and ı am curious of your coming valley videos to the very north... keep going✌

@roamingyak Год назад

Lovely to hear from Turkey! (I miss all of the lovely Turkish food I used to eat in London... yum!) Thanks, I'll do my best...

@stuartrollings602 Год назад

See I told you…ask and u shall receive!

@roamingyak Год назад

A secret just between you an me - I was a bit scared to change lens on my camera at this stage, so didn't use my zoom lens much, as I was always worried about getting dust on the sensor. I really was a complete beginner ;-)

@merweerasmus73 Год назад

First !

@roamingyak Год назад

And hopefully not the last!!! :-)

@stuartrollings602 Год назад

One more thought from Texas- I have had the good fortune to visit Namibia five times and no matter how remote we were we always saw plenty of Oryx,jackals,springboks, and giraffes. I have not noticed any on this drive…have you seen anything? Thanks very much( not to the end of the video yet so maybe spoke too soon)

@roamingyak Год назад

Both beautiful areas! I had to fly into Las Vegas a while ago for business - all I could think of all week was "I want to be out in that beautiful desert!" There isn't too much water in this area, so only a few animals around - more about it in the next episode...

@robertvanderwielen8346 Год назад

Think you should phone Elon, get the ticket to Mars (place for the landy - not negotiable) - Seriously beautiful vitas you've captured, the lifestyle is both beauty & suffering - great content .

@roamingyak Год назад

Thanks a lot Robert!

@harryebersohn4912 Год назад

Hello from Florida Love your videos from Namibia We visited Kaokoland in 2021 You just drove past a Stone Sculpture of a “Lonely Man of Kaokoland “ it’s in episode 8 Timestamp 21.33 He is sitting on the rocks on your left. If I can find your email address I’ll send you the picture I took there sitting next to him 😀sorry you missed him but he’s not the only one….keep your eyes open

@roamingyak Год назад

Thanks Harry, nice of you to reach out. Overall, I'm not really a fan on them as I feel we have very few places on the earth that are untouched by humans in some way and we should work hard to preserve them. Kind regards, Darrin
