Off the Beaten Track: Exploring Southern Namibia 🇳🇦
In this episode we embark on an exciting journey from Johannesburg to Keetmanshoop, kicking off our very first Namibian adventure! Join us for two nights at the remote and off-the-grid Sandfontein Lodge, where luxury harmonizes with tranquil untamed landscapes.
From here we explore the vast Orange River, paddle through its waters in an exhilarating kayaking adventure, and take to the skies flying over rugged unthouched terrains, capturing the breathtaking landscapes of Namibia from above. As night falls, witness the enchantment of laying beneath a blanket of a million stars, dozing off to the sounds of the wildernis.

    My father on a safari in Botswana 1974 was very lucky to meet 3 Bushmen. They noticed his cigarettes and wanted to trade.So they gave him a bow with arrows for it. 4 pack’s we’re gone in like 15 minutes 😂 They had never smoked until that moment 😂 This story is still told on birthdays and special family moments after he sadly past away. Told this In honor of Dad ❤

Sadly, I only got to 135 hours in the Bell 47 before all funding ran out and life stepped in with some changes. But, it's a feeling I will never forget. Nice job!!

    "Millions" of light-duty engines for "recreational vehicles" none of which have ever been registered "motor vehicles" for use on "public roads" at "highway speeds" with passengers. Experimental aircraft are no different than "snow machines" or "personal watercraft" or ATVs or UTVs and are "titled" and "registered" only in jurisdictions that require it for "public safety". And even when "street legal" they are not DOT-approved for "highway use". There isn't an engine manufacturer in "America" today that has not produced "millions of engines" and for applications a HELL of a lot more demanding of engine DURABILITY (which is NOT synonymous with "reliable" and "reliable" is a subjective term not "defined" or "standardized" in or by any "engine industry") than the "toys" Rotax has "historically" powered with it's "drop-in" basic engine "packages" that are for "recreational uae" only.

    Your light touch on the cyclic is a great example to wannabe helo pilots like me! I'll always remember my fixed wing CFI reminding me to not grip the yoke to death, makes a huge difference in your ability to do fine and rapid corrective inputs, arguably most important in a helicopter.
