About

We are a family of filmmakers and storytellers, on a global journey documenting disappearing cultures, faraway places, and off-the-beaten-path adventures. 🌏 Let's go! Georg, Tara, Liv and Bodhi 🗺️ FERNWEH is a German word that means "the ache for distant places"... like the opposite of "home sickness". It's this feeling that drives all of our travels. 📷 FILMMAKERS & VIDEOGRAPHERS: Looking for cinematic color grading? Grab our "Fernweh Finishing LUTs" here: www.fernwehchronicles.com ✨ TOURISM BOARDS & CONSERVATION/ADVENTURE BRANDS: Interested in collaborating?

Video Description

Welcome to the least densely populated country in Africa, where you’re more likely to encounter wildlife than people. Endless dunes, vast savannahs, and roads so empty that your only traffic jam is a herd of elephants. This road trip takes us through some of the most surreal scenery on Earth. It’s dusty, it’s wild, and it’s Namibia, baby. ► BOOK YOUR AFRICAN ADVENTURE - https://bit.ly/FernwehGo2Africa The first 300 people to include the code FERNWEH can get up to $500 USD off their trip with Go2Africa!
