Жыл бұрын

Namibia has been one of the toughest and most enjoyable countries to cycle through at the same time. Being the country with the lowest population density in Africa, one can cycle for hours within seeing anyone. This often gave me the ultimate feeling of freedom, but at the same time, it can make the cycling tougher as well.
In this first part of bicycle touring Namibia, I explore some the most iconic mountains and mountain ranges of Namibia, including the Waterberg national park, Spitzkoppe, the Erongo Rhino sanctuary and Brandberg mountain.
This video was shot during November 2021
Camera gear used to film this bicycle touring video:

Popular people can millions of views and real people who do something extraordinary are being mostly ignored. It is so sad. I have seen it on TikTok; a black American boy can draw the most beautiful drawings, he gets only 86 subscribers. And popular beautiful girls has 4.3 million subscribers and she just films her daily boring life.

This video is a real masterpiece, not only because of the incredibly beautiful scenery, but also because of your amazing perseverance and energy that you invested in this venture, and the expert selection of background music, which all adds up to an incredible atmosphere. Only someone who is a true lover of nature can do that. I appreciate your work, kudos !

Hello Nils, I've done bike tours myself and seen many, many bike tour videos. Your videos and again this one are an extra class. Ok, no social contacts and such but in terms of landscape they are excellent. But I think you know that too. I admire, yes I admire your courage with which you drove through Africa. You are an exceptional talent in terms of taking this risk as well as in terms of video recording and editing. It's a shame that more people haven't found your videos yet. They are masterpieces. Thank you very much Bernhard

But I've seen you grow from a boy to a Man during these videos. And this Namibia video showed me that you've already grown into a grandfather. I bless u as I would bless an elder...

Besides buying water at shops and gas stations, anyone travelling by car will stop and ask our cycling hero weather or not he has enough water. I heard that from another Dutch cyclist who went to Namibia, Erik Schuijt. Erik has a shop of cycling holiday touring in Amsterdam, the Vakantiefietser shop.

Wat een mooi landschap! Ik vraag mij wel af of je niet eenzaam bent/was, jij rijdt daar helemaal alleen in een uitgestorven land. Ben je ondertussen alweer in Nederland? Of ben je gewoon door gefietst naar een ander werelddeel? Ik denk als je uiteindelijk thuis komt, je misschien wel ongemakkelijk voelt in ons drukke land, waar iedereen zich druk maakt over onbelangrijke dingen. Jouw avontuur is goud, mijn dochter is ook zo avontuurlijk ingesteld. Zij gaat van de zomer een maand hiken door Kirgizië

Watch out with road you take inform yourself before you take it , … i met a german cyclist a few years ago about where you are on a very sandy road who miscalculated his distance per day . He did not have much water left … so i left him all my water . To ask for water for a farm often is 20km deep sand so that is not doable …..you loose time and strength.
