Thanks for the video! I have a friend that had the hunting concession from the conservancy at Spit.. and we spent a great day chasing game around there. His camp is in an area off limits from the public so we got to drive all of the veld around the mts and picnic in some stunning high meadows under trees. Your video brings back great memories of that area. Thanks Nick!
Karibib grew as a center for diamond mining and processing, attracting a diverse population of workers from across Southern Africa. In the 1950s and 1960s, Karibib was one of the largest diamond producers in the country and was home to a thriving business community. After Namibia gained independence in 1990, Karibib's economy shifted towards agriculture and tourism, with the town becoming a popular stop for tourists en route to the nearby Erongo Mountains.
Just binge watched almost half of your videos and I'm hooked. Really appreciate the info on traveling Namibia, since I want to plan a trip quite soon. Then a question on your camping gear, are you still happy with your Tentco Savannah 3 tent?
Hi Nick, I went there once and there was thunder in the air, then the next moment I nearly shat myself as a bolt of lightening shot up far too close t me for my liking. Never experienced anthing like it before or since. But I am very wary of thunder and lightening now. Saw plenty in JoBurg but that was far enough away.😬😀
I'll show some in the next video, but people go there mainly cause you get to camp right against those massive granite boulders. Rock climbing, hiking, sunsets, lots of SAN rock paintings, there is a rock pool where you can swim and a few more places for beautiful pictures
During apartheid, Usakos was designated a "colored town" and was subject to racial segregation policies. After Namibia gained independence in 1990, Usakos continued to develop as a center for commerce and transportation, with the town serving as an important hub for the region's mining and agricultural industries. Today, Usakos is known for its rich cultural heritage, including the annual Damara Traditional Festival, which celebrates the culture and traditions of the Damara people.
