If you’re looking for a dose of mid-pandemic isolation, Namibia is surprisingly accessible to South African and European tourists.
Windhoek is just a two-hour flight from major South African cities, and fields direct international flights from Frankfurt and Ethiopia.
Entry into Namibia only requires a negative PCR test - and some hotels will conduct return tests in the comfort of your room.
Lodge rates are also cheaper than ever, and crowds at nearby attractions almost non-existent.
