Let's go!

Me too

I am getting my Passport Ready! You both are A FORCE! I Stan you guys ❤

Fact

Thank you for this love 💜

Thank you

I also wanna come, bro 🇿🇦

Thank you so much for the visit🙏🙏.

Lovely stuff. Pls share tips on how to have a successful trip to Namibia. When driving around the 'deserts', does one necessarily need to have a 4x4 car. Estimated cost, including accommodation? Fuel..............i heard some colleagues saying they were driving with drums containing fuel? Pls share your experiences.........ZA

100% ❗ What Maya is doing is commendable🙏

Shiloh a daughter Angelina Jolie was born in Swakopmund

I did visit Zanzibar last year. Lovely place

I disagree with you that the media don't want to show Africa to us, its our duty as Africans to found our own media that will promote our interests and show case African countries and its beauties 💖

Visa costs n traveling costs could be a hindrance

I am from Barbados we have a tourist based economy nice to know about Namibia

No disrespect, I'd like to know how is the electricity there? Is it consistent? I want to leave America and never go back.

@@naimreed8247 At least you are guaranteed you won’t get yourself burnt going to Namibia.. At least you won’t be killed for a cellphone, your car can be parked and when you come back anytime later it will still be there.. SA, Durban is now another town in a different country after 30 years of freedom.. whilst Namibia has evolved, safer, much much less dangerous..

Will visit someday

Namibia should advertise their potential as a tourist hot-spot, if the tourism industry is non existent, people will not know it's a beautiful place to visit. Thanks Woda you're 1 in a millions🙏🏼🙏🏼👍👍👏👏

We love you sister.

We love you too 💜

Thank you..we love you too

What about the most important thing, safety?

What are their Covid policies.

Say no more... Namibia is beautiful, peaceful and calm. Hope it remains like that.

🇳🇦🇳🇦🇳🇦

@@zeezeebo its safe

What question is that

That answer is a bitter pill😄😄

I disagree with you. sometimes the African countries themselves don’t want to allow us in , and when they hear west African, it’s even worse. so people go to where there is ease. Do you know the hard processes and expenses it takes to get a Namibian visa! All done intelligently as part of efforts to limit the quota of black Africans who can visit, for fear that they won’t leave or may be nefarious . Yet a non African doesn’t need a visa or gets visa on arrival. Because their marketing and tourism is tailored mainly towards international people/expatriates and not you the African.

@@sharellmaureen9983 It's cost a total of N$1100 Namibian dollars for a 3 month holiday visa to Namibia. That about 70USD. And unfortunately, alot of West Africans are refused visa become alot come in with other intentions such as human trafficking and drugs smuggling. That's why you really have to prove that you are visiting and than going back. So the visa is not expensive. But there are few countries that are exempted from even a visa. So just do your research, maybe yours is..

@@justinanekongo2643 Yes, it all depends on the agreement between your country and Namibia and the type of visa you are applying for. For some it’s USD$70 , others pay $80-90 , while some pay $26. But that is just one part, because unfortunately the Namibian high commission is not present in most African countries. So you have to pay couriers/ DHL to transport your passport and documents to them back and forth, or travel to the nearest country where they are present. And that is another cost added to the visa fee. So it is expensive based on where you live. The African Nationals that are even exempted from visa are not even up to 13 countries and it’s mostly those in the SADAC region. Visa on arrival for the rest of the other Africans are reserved for diplomatic, service and official passport holders not ordinary passport holders. So my sister it is not as easy for MANY Africans tourists as you are making it to sound.

That's because you are reading history from books written by the enemy. The west are Perennial enemies of Africa.

Nah we going to Gambia 🇬🇲🇬🇲☺️

@@nairobinyeusi5811 then why are so many africans in the west working? I am latino and i live in the west loking for a new live and the people here are more kind whit me and african than whit his owns citizens

@@JoseMendoza-sj9zvI could turn the question around and ask you why there are so many Americans working in Africa as well. People travel and work in different places for different reasons. Why sound like there are more Africans out there than there are in Africa

@@ngalahansel6066 what i am trying to Say ist, west ist not our enemy, not anymore. The polítics in Latinoamerica and África are always looking someone to faul for his mistakes, corruption and mediocrecy and people still belieb them acussing persons that are not ruling our countries anymore instead fouling the actual rulers

I wish I was younger 🤣🤣 but I still have hope thank you WM. Namibia will be my next destination.

TRUE 💯

How is the visa process? Someone should tell us then we uplift Namibia.

Brilliant thought.. the challenge with that is the cost of travel... Traveling to Dubai is way cheaper than Travel within Africa.

So myself as a white person should not visit the country and contribute financially to its future? Contribute by word of mouth to all my friends of what a great experience I had? Think about your racist remarks. It fuels negativity, not a better future....

How much is Desert?

So you think, but Europeans visit this country every year they are here with us always for so many years is just that Africans don't know that we are in Africa but we have the white man's style but we respect our cultures we still have whites in our parliament and different sectors but you will not understand namibian its a unique country with a unique style

Got pissed with myself knowing about Namibia for the first time in my life. I'm nigerian.

I got it. But dah its expensive

@@AhmedSaleh-gq4me how expensive it's ?

One Africa, no country in Africa

@@esthervanda7401 very expensive.

Correction. In 2019 we had about 1,6 million tourist, which is so far the highest we ever had. For 2020 Namibia was predicted to be the most visited country in Africa. Well, but then came corona. Ministry of Environment and Tourism is doing just about enough. This is because they mostly put effort of advertisement mostly to Europe, with Germany and then England toping. Unfortunately however, most tourists destinations aren't tailored for the local people. They are way to expensive. Alright to be honest government does give local Namibians lower rates on Government owned destinations but for a many people, it is yet still too expensive. Private lodges, one can almost forget about them, for the majority Namibian people. There, tourists seeking Safary advanture can pay up to N$70 000, for a 2 week trip. So basically we do need to improve the industry, which is mostly run by whites, to become more local and African countries friendly. Having said this and while I do not have the latest figures Angolans have always been the highest visiting numbers to Namibia. The rest of countries are as follows: South Africa, Zambia, Germany, Zimbabwe, Botswana, France, United Kingdom, United States and the Netherlands. Latest rising editions are the Nordic countries then Spain and Italy. Angolans mostly come for medical services and educational purposes. So I say, if it was my choice, yes, please bring us the rest of Africa, to our beautiful country.

@@WODEMAYA absolutely bro and we got ya back 4lyf 💪🏻

Now you will change your narrative that Africa is a place with poor and starving People. I know Jamaicans think that way.

World hero if that is the case why do Jamaicans have so many songs dedicated to Africa why so many past africans leaders follow the teachings of Marcus Garvey you sound like a troll someone who got heartbroken

@@worldhero3891 No not a fair statement to make ,I wish I was on my way there to Africa now . I guess you don't know much about Jamaica and Jamaicans.

@World Hero What was said is true. I am from *Barbados* and I can tell you we have a similar idea of Africa here for most of the population which is of African Ancestry. We are African Barbadians but know very little of where we came from thanks to the educational system. Thanks to the internet and Channels like this we can appreciate our brothers and sisters across the ocean as well as appreciate our mother land.

@@worldhero3891 In the 21st century, lol, not possible. As a Jamaican i can tell you that no matter what Africa looks like we were born proud of it because we know our roots. We have heard much through the rastafarian community (to which Bob Marley & many other icons belong). For a lot of Jamaicans, Africa is home.

Yes Africa is the paradise we Africans can boost,we must stop falling for that illusion of Amerikkka,their glory days are over,its now our time to shine.

Indeed🇳🇦👍🏿

Most Africans dont go to dubai like that .

Dubai is only beautiful inside it buildings. When we arrived there it had been raining for 8 days in a row right before we landed. Dirty desert sand on every parked car! It was like a bad movie until we got to the great mosque in Abu Dhabi. I've never been to Africa but everyone treated me as a equal like I expect Africa will. Stay blessed WodeMaya!

You are correct

You should visit Namibia with the kids

@@WODEMAYA am sure to make that plan after my Ghana 🇬🇭 visit. This is mind blowing, just love the serene atmosphere and well planned town and city. The dunes just takes ones breathe away. Such a beautiful 🤩 place to visit.

You can drive to Namibia.

@@isabellakapolo833 yes you can, and you can fly there too. My point was it is far more convenient getting to dubai. The person flying to dubai will get there before someone driving from the capital of Zambia gets to the tourist destinations in namibia

Pls how can I visit Namibia 🇳🇦

@@obumnemevalentine3395 Go to the Namibian embassy or research online... The information is out there. I am from Ghana myself... When I want to visit anywhere, I just check online and/or with their embassy. As Africans, we've got to learn to research and do things for ourselves rather than waiting for someone to hand things to us.

Swakop & Walvis Bay is sooo peaceful

Please give the children what they want 🤣🤣🤣 from Namibia.

How did you move from Windhoek to swakopmund

It's the single biggest reason Africans go out of Africa for their holidays

Hmm so u like kissing men.. up to you man

In Windhoek, the capital, homophobia is really not a big thing. You will always get those that stare at you and also do with mix race couples but it ends there, a simple stare and internal judgement by those narrow minded people, and life goes on. The smaller towns....homosexuality will be tolerated but I wouldn't suggest going into a pub and making a public display of it. Alcohol and cultural differences in opinion creates stupidity. So in short, being homosexual will not be a problem if you can keep it respectable when in public, same as heterosexual relationships. Hope that helps. Now go and explore the beauty of Namibia in which it was never mentioned of having the big 5 animals at Etosha pan up in the North.

Homophobia? Did you mean xenophobia?

I meant Xenophobia. Not homophobia

Etosha sweetheart not Ethosa

On point!

Very true..I didn't know anything abt Namibia till I saw this Video 🥰

not only from a Nigerian perspective but u represent most of us...i only know Namibia for diamonds and "peaceful elections"

1. Namibia allows nationals from 53 countries and territories to enter without a visa for the purpose of tourism for up to 90 days. And if you desire to stay longer than that it’s incredibly affordable for a permit. Take it from a Namibian who resides in a foreign country. 2. Flight costs depend on the flying season just as it does anywhere else in the world. But one to Dubai is slightly, and I mean slightly cheaper because it’s just one flight usually. But silver lining is that spending and recreation is way cheaper in Namibia than in Dubai. 3. It takes about 4-5 hours to fly to Namibia from Nigeria i.e Lagos 4. Now that you know a little about Namibia we are hoping to see you soon :). I’m positive you will have a blast.

This is the similar complaint many of us in the Caribbean/ West Indies have about traveling to our neighboring islands or countries...very expensive!
