Dunes, Sossusvlei & Gaub
Experience beautiful and varied landscapes amidst the Namib dunes of the Namib Rand Nature Reserve and ecologically sound game drives through fantastic dune valleys. Sossusvlei is surrounded by the highest dunes in the world. Opportunities for climbing with fantastic views. Visit the Sesriem Canyon. You will get to know remarkable landscapes at the granite massif of the Rotstock near the slate worlds of the Gaub Canyon. You will spend the night in a high-quality lodge. Your overnight stay allows you to use and enjoy your own entrance to the Namib Naukluft Park. This also ensures an early arrival before the main streams of visitors on a guided game drive into Sossusvlei. The game drives take place in open terrain jeeps with well-informed guides. And a sundowner drive into the erosion valleys of Ghaub Canyon are the icing on the cake of your desert experience.
Info: The dunes at Sossusvlei are now usually visited by a large stream of visitors. After all, the dunes are a unique and beautiful landscape highlight. With your choice of accommodation, a super beautiful dune experience awaits you in the Namib Rand dune world. The lodge uses its own park entrance and thus you also get to know the world-famous Sossusvlei unadulterated and before the influx of most visitors. The extra charge is worth it because of the individual dune experience, the high quality of accommodation, the super service and the ecological principles of this lodge.

Important for this trip
Entry requirements as well as vaccination requirements:
Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your trip at the time of entry and still have at least two blank pages. It must be in perfect condition, i.e. neither damaged (e.g. torn, bent, "repaired" by yourself or even accidentally washed) nor illegible or difficult to read due to dirt.
In recent times, there have been individual cases of problems with the immigration authorities at the airport and at the borders by land, because the period of validity of entry visas has been arbitrarily determined.
Germans may enter the country without a visa for short-term stays of up to 90 days per year for exclusively tourist purposes. A toll-free entry stamp (Visitors Entry Permit) is issued upon arrival at all official border crossings.
No compulsory vaccinations are required for direct entry from Germany. In case of entry from a yellow fever area or stay of more than 12 hours in transit of a yellow fever area, all persons from the age of 9 months have to prove a yellow fever vaccination. Namibia itself is not a yellow fever area.
Make sure that you and your children are up to date with the standard vaccinations according to the vaccination calendar of the Robert Koch Institute. As travel vaccinations, vaccinations against hepatitis A are recommended, and also against hepatitis B, typhoid, rabies and meningococcal disease (ACWY) for long-term stays or special exposure.
Special situation Covid-19:
Please cover your travel payments insurance-wise if you are unable to travel due to a positive test result. Some clients test themselves a few days before departure already to have a little more assurance. We find this step helpful.
You can also get tested at the airport so you can enter the country with a fresh test result. Namibia requires an English negative result no older than 72 hours prior to entry.
Please follow this link: https:// www.centogene.com/covid-19/test- centers/frankfurt-airport.html.
Please wear a mask upon entry and please bring masks for the road.
