Visa & Entry

Visa

Since 1 April 2025, German citizens travelling to Namibia for tourism purposes must have a valid visa to enter the country. This visa is issued with a validity of 90 days and generally permits multiple entries (so-called “multiple entry”).

The following options are available for applying for a visa:

“Visa on Arrival” (as an online visa): The Namibian Ministry of Home Affairs recommends applying for an e-visa online before travelling.
“Visa on Arrival” (upon entry): Information on obtaining a visa upon arrival and the border crossings where this is possible can be found in the factsheet issued by the Namibian Ministry of Home Affairs.
Visa application at the Embassy of Namibia in Berlin.

In all other cases – including business trips or unpaid activities such as internships, study stays or voluntary work – a visa is required and must be applied for well in advance of entry. Applications can be submitted online or directly at the Embassy of Namibia.

Journalists working in Namibia require a work visa and, in some cases, accreditation from the Namibian Ministry of Information and Communication Technology, preferably obtained before entering the country. The approval process can take up to four weeks. The Embassy of the Republic of Namibia is the point of contact for questions and applications.

Flight

Travelling from Germany to Namibia is straightforward. Currently, two airlines in particular offer direct connections: Eurowings/Lufthansa.

Alternatively, you can reach Namibia with connecting flights operated by Ethiopian Airlines or British Airways. Another option is to travel via South Africa, with a connection at O. R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg.

A direct flight to Windhoek (Hosea Kutako International Airport) takes approximately eleven hours.

Travelling with Children

For entry into Namibia, all minors under the age of 18 must present a valid passport as well as an original international birth certificate in English. The certificate must include the full names of both parents.

If a child is travelling without both legal guardians, additional documents are required:

A written consent declaration in the form of an affidavit from the parent who is not travelling
A copy of the passport and contact details of the non-travelling person

If one parent cannot provide consent or their consent is not required, this must be supported by appropriate documentation, such as:

A court order granting sole custody
A death certificate of the deceased parent
A negative certificate issued by the German Youth Welfare Office (Jugendamt), if the child resides in Germany, confirming that no joint custody exists

Sustainable Wildlife Management at Farm Garib – Responsibility for Nature and the Future

At Farm Garib, on the edge of the Kalahari, sustainable wildlife management is a central part of our philosophy. We believe that hunting is only truly justified when it is carried out in harmony with the protection of nature and the conservation of healthy wildlife populations.

Through carefully planned management measures, we help maintain natural wildlife populations in a stable and balanced state. We focus on selectively harvesting individual animals, always taking their age, sex and overall condition into consideration. In this way, we contribute to preserving biodiversity while maintaining the ecological balance of the savannah landscape.

Our responsibility extends beyond hunting. We are actively committed to protecting habitats, supporting the natural movement of wildlife and promoting the sustainable use of natural resources. For us, sustainable wildlife management means treating nature with respect – today, tomorrow and for generations to come.

The Perfect Hunting Season

Hunting in Namibia

On the edge of the Kalahari, an impressive landscape of open savannah and scattered acacia trees awaits you – ideal for exciting hunting experiences throughout the season. The clear, dry air and wide-open views create a unique hunting environment, with each season offering its own special character. Even during the warmer months, the climate remains pleasant and comfortable thanks to the farm’s slightly elevated location.

Namibia’s official trophy hunting season runs from 1 February to 30 November.
