Dear partners and friends, we are well-prepared for the return of international guests to Namibia and offer preferential services for a carefree Namibian experience.

We at the Gondwana family are so excited to welcome you and your guests once again to our beautiful Namibia. It is of course not business as usual, but Namibia is perfectly positioned to offer a safe, exciting, and soulful journey to all on our planet who are ready to break out into solitude, fresh air, and wide-open spaces.

We are humbled and proud of how we were able to weather this storm with zero retrenchments, full and immediate repayments of deposits and without touching our customer deposits received.

Now we are ready to offer you a complete in-country solution regarding the requirements as per the recent announcement of the Minister of Environment, Forestry and Tourism, Pohamba Shifeta, in terms of which Namibia is ready to welcome international guests without quarantine or travel restrictions.

Gondwana Collection Namibia in partnership with OSH-Med International aim to provide our guests peace of mind and a hassle-free stay in Namibia by facilitating the required Covid-19 tests on Day 5 in the comfort and privacy of your room done by a professionally trained nurse and even offering a Gondwana owned or private sector run facility in the unlikely event of a positive test, on the terms set out in our latest newsletter.

All Gondwana properties have implemented comprehensive Covid-19 protocols as prescribed by Namibia Tourism Board and will be certified in term of Covid-19 regulations by OSH-Med International on behalf of the Ministry of Health and Social Services within the next few days. OSH-Med is a private service- and training facilitator for Occupational Health and Safety, as well as Emergency and Medical Care in Namibia and beyond; accredited by the Ministry of Health and Social Services, the Ministry of Labour and the Health Professional Council of Namibia. They have facilitated local protocols and transfers for expat flights on behalf of the German embassy in Namibia.

Upon arrival travellers should present a negative Covid-19 test not older than 72 hours; their set travel itinerary, medical questionnaire and proof of travel insurance covering Covid-19 related medical expenses.
