We are entering Namibia with our Land Rover Defender, after more than 50.000km, we are celebrating 1 year on the road, and we are doing it by visiting some of the most stunning areas of Namibia, and seeing the king of the jungle for the first time.
After two amazing weeks with our family, we leave Lusaka behind and drive towards the Zambezi river. We are taking one of the worst tarred roads in Africa, the M10 connecting Livingstone with Sesheke. It looks like it has been hit by meteorites, the potholes are so big that a car fits inside them.
We enjoyed a beautiful evening at the Zambezi , before crossing to Namibia. Two people recommended us, to meet Keith in Katima, and we could miss the chance to do this.
We use the time to enjoy the Caprivi area and doing a self-drive safari in Mamili National Park, now known as Nkasa Rupara National Park. It as stunning park, rarely visited. It is usually called the Mini Okavango as it gets flooded in the wet season, creating islands. It is just paradise for wildlife. And we were lucky to be alone and see three different lions , really close. We absolutely loved our time in this park, and we consider it one of the best safaris in Africa.
Enjoy The Ride!

You will enjoy Nam tremendously - it is a world on it's own my favorite country. Do not be in a hurry, take time as the distances are long and there are a miriad of sights that should be visited. Enjoy. PS - I found the Scrubba wash bag here in South Africa!

Ouh yeah, we were looking forward to Namibia, and it exceeded our expectations. Just stunning! So glad you have found the Scrubba, just a tip, get a biodegradable detergent (liquid), so you can do laundry everywhere!

We love mini trips! We always have done short trips (before this world trip)and we think is the way to go. Specially if you focus it on something specific you want to see or do! Regarding your question. We had to choose from the countries, we really wanted to get to the coast, so we opted for heading towards Namibia. 🤷‍♀️

Good episode again.. What’s the story with Kai driving with his left leg up 😂😂.. is that a way of relaxing the leg 🦵 during long drives.. This is where you have to agree with me that the Toyota Prado has a better driving position 😊😅😅.. Keep it 💯 keep moving.. 💪🏾
@Thebluelandy
@Thebluelandy Год назад
I don’t know to be honest, the Defender as left hand drive is not the most comfortable car to drive in. You always sitting slightly turned. So I try to change it up every once in a while.

Finally. Another one fresh from the kitchen. Am very curious to know how it is you find camp places that are out of the way. Like this at Shesheke....
@Thebluelandy
@Thebluelandy Год назад
We use google satellite pictures, and occasionally IOVERLANDER to find camp spots. With a bit of practice you can see from the satellite what could be a good place to sleep

Wellcome to Namibia. Look forward to meet you guys in my town in the South.The tracks you saw was from hyena. The clue is large paw(front) next to small paws which are the rear paws.
@Thebluelandy
@Thebluelandy Год назад
Thank you for the clue!! Now we know. So many times thinking it was lion and it has been always hyenas. Even in Skeleton Coast we thought it was a female with a cub. But now it makes sense! We are sadly now in South Africa! Our videos have quite a delay. 🥺

It was absolutely amazing! Specially being so close and taking all the time in the world to watch them. If you have a chance to go back to this region, make sure to visit Mamili. If you do, let us know as we have the contact of Keith and he might be happy to let you know the INS and outs of this park!

I’m not really sure if you can still call them potholes. It looked more like they fired artillery at the road.

Hallo, noch eine Anmerkung zum Sambia-Video. Kauft euch für den Motorkühler so ein Mesh/Netz, das man davorspannen kann. Wenn ihr in Namibia seid, gibts das für ein paar Euro bei Cymot. Sieht so ähnlich aus, wie das grüne Moskitonetz von den südafrikanischen Dachzelten. Sehr robust und in 2 Minuten montiert/demontiert. Damit erspart ihr euch langfristig viel Ärger und Schäden am Fahrzeug. Viele Grüße
@Thebluelandy

Hey Danke für den Tip! War das erste was wir uns in Namibia zugelegt hatten. Und wie es so ist hatten wir seitdem kein hohes Gras mehr. Trotzdem gut im Gepäck zuhaben, nimmt ja nicht viel Platz weg.

We have been travelling around southern Africa (SA, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Botswana) for 6 months. In that time we had one sighting of a lion Similar to you really.
@Thebluelandy
@Thebluelandy 8 месяцев назад
Yeah!! The thing is that many times when coming from Europe we have the expectation, that there are lions everywhere in the continent. The reality is sadly completely the opposite. If we would have traveled int he dry season we most probably would have seen many. But, we got to see other things!

Little tip for pawprints - if the print has claw marks at the end of the toes its a dog/wild dog/hyena if it doesn't its a cat lion/leopard/caracal. The only exception to this rule is cheetahs which are the only cats that cant retract their claws.
