You will explore the geologically fascinating basaltic warty field with photogenic quiver aloes on your way to the deep south. The second largest canyon on earth is extended by a geologically fascinating drive along the Orange River. You will marvel at German colonial history as well as diamond finds in two ghost towns, experience a special trip to the imposing Bogenfels and a boat trip to the penguin colony near Halifax. Then, on the edge of the Namib, wild horses, granite and farming await you. The Naukluft introduces you to whimsical succulents, karstic geology and unexpected paradises of rose parrots. Hunt for giraffes in Fishriver Canyon and climb the world's highest dunes! On the Atlantic Ocean you will experience dolphins, seals and palmato geckos. You will dive into the Stone Age, admire rock engravings, see desert elephants and zebras next to gigantic succulents. Lush wildlife experiences await you in Etosha National Park.

 Etosha National Park is known as the "Great White Place". It covers over 22,000 square kilometres and is one of the most game-rich parks in the whole of Africa.

For your overnight stays we have booked once a very high quality lodge with its own game reserve on the south side of the park and then a very high quality and individual camp on the east side of the park.
Info on the situation in Etosha National Park: Etosha National Park suffers from a constantly growing flood of visitors. We therefore like to book the high-quality smaller lodges outside the park for our clients. However, this has the disadvantage that you cannot sit at the waterhole at night. Should you therefore prefer to spend the night inside the park, we will be happy to book this for you.

### 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](https://www.who.int/publications/m/item/vaccination-requirements-and-recommendations-for-international-travelers-and-malaria-situation-per-country-2019-edition "mehr"). 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](https://www.rki.de/DE/Content/Infekt/Impfen/Impfkalender/Impfkalender_node.html). 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.
**Important notes:**
Due to legal requirements, we would like to point out that this trip is generally not suitable for persons with reduced mobility. If you have any health restrictions, please contact us before booking the trip. We will do our best to make it possible for you to participate and will check whether the desired trip is suitable for you.
