Who needs Netflix when you have Karl Watson?
Great video mate (as usual) we love how you document the tour bus properly and show what it's really like to go on an organised tour like that. The guides seemed great, the food seemed decent, and camping outside most nights seemed to be the coolest part. Can't wait for the adventures and action packed scenes in ep2!
thank you for visiting my beautiful country,Namibia,And thanks for showing people the real AFRICA,not the ones they show on mainstream media.
This is an amazing travel documentary! Funny, entertaining, and greatly informative. Everyone should watch this
Karl i really believe you have one of the best travel documenturies/vlogs of Youtube. Keep up the good work ! Never stop travelling (and filming it ofcourse) ;)
I remember watching this video like a year ago. I wanted to go to South Africa for years and last April the time was there, but for the first time I had no one to go with, no gf and my friends could not or did not wanted. So because of this video, I took G-Adventures as well. I will never forget this holiday, it was really amazing, the 17 days hiking tour from Capetown to Jo-burg. Shark cage, hiking, the big five, bungeejumping, the food, the landscapes, the never ending mountains, it was all worth it. Also did prior to my tour three day tours to Cape Point, Stellenbosch and Gansbaai, what a coincidence lol. Will watch some more videos of you to do some inspiration for my next destination :)
And people say "African countries are poor"😒These countries have the poweful african culture and beautiful landscapes. Gob bless Africa 🙏 Next time, try Cape Verde 😉
I absolutely loved this. I'm from Namibia, so it's really great seeing my country being represented like this. And even I sometimes forget how beautiful and special it can be. I'm looking forward to episode 2.
It makes me sad that travellers only go to Cape Town when visiting South Africa - we have many many other beautiful places aside from CPT.
karl you are better then the discovery channel
Wow Namibia looks amazing! Definitely have to go there one day😁✈
YouTube needs more content like this! Amazing stuff.
I recommend Namibia highly, stayed in same places in etosha and saw way more wildlife than he did
My country Namibia😍😍 l loved it, thanks for visiting Namibia.. you are always welcome..😁
I am not African.I feel happy that it is represented in a positive way here
I'm from Kenya Africa.....and I think I've had a better experience going to Namibia than going to Dubai....i loooove it!! We go there every Christmas!!! I think they Documented it wonderfully!!! it shows how Africa is truly beautiful!
We're moving to South Africa in 9 months!!! I'm so excited to explore the entire continent and go to all the places of my ancestors!!!
Brilliant travel film! We watched both parts while being travelling abroad and it was more entertaining than watching movies or Netflix. Thanks a lot and keep up the great work!
