Bicycle touring Namibia - part 2 | Cycling around the planet #24

In the second part of cycling through Namibia I leave the Brandberg mountain and cycle towards the Atlantic coast. I stock up on food and water in Walvis Bay before heading back into the Namib desert, where I cross the famous Gamsberg pass and Spreetshoogte pass. I stay one night in Solitaire, before cycling further to the legendary Sossusvlei. The scenery is amazing, it wants to make me fly the drone every day. When I see the blue waters of the Orange river, I know I have reached the border to South Africa.

A quite remarkable journey and film. I cannot imagine the physical and mental hardships you must have endured at various points of your bicycle ride. I think the relentless winds would have soon finished me. The lack of food and water. You are made of strong stuff. An incredible achievement Niels. Where next?

Hi, I started following you today after watching the two videos about Namibia. An extraordinary adventure, great! Now, maybe they've already written it to you and now I add up to the others but? You have a low seat. This doesn't help performance but neither does your knees. Of course, it's just a suggestion. Good continuation of adventure and thanks for what you show us😀

The video is extraordinary, yes, but I don't think I would have managed to have the mental robustness to drive all these lonely stretches alone. Hats off. You once said that Iohan Gueorguiev is your big role model. You can feel that in every second of this video. What impresses me personally the most. If I were in Holland, on holiday, and a young man like you with his Dutch bike came from one of those typical clinker settlements, I wouldn't suspect that he had already done such crazy actions. Hope I'm not misunderstood. hp I didn't think there would be another video. I was very happy. Let's see if something happens again. Greetings Bernhard

Fantastisch weer deze video! Ik wist niet dat je ondertussen in Nederland geweest bent ( ik had het erg leuk gevonden om naar Brabant te reizen!). Ik kijk jouw videos altijd op KZfaq, ben verder niet op social. Dan mis je dus al dat nieuws. Ik hoop dat je mooie avonturen tegemoet gaat. Misschien fietsen door Azië of Amerika? Ik volg je sws! En altijd kijken wij via een groot scherm, dan zien jouw videos er prachtig uit!

I avoided the big roads in Namibia as much as possible, but on the big roads (Rundu - Grootfontein and Walvisbaai - Swakopmund) traffic was a bit dangerous, especially large trucks
