Fish River Canyon inaccessible for us due to new visa regulations
Fish River Canyon的点评
点评：Namibia is obviously trying to destroy its tourist industry. We were victims of the new visa rules for Westerners.
Since January you need a costly visa to enter Namibia. We tried to enter into Namibia at Sendlingsdrif using the „visa upon arrival“ method. It turned out that the border post there does not allow that and we were told to take a 3.5 hour detour to Oranjemond. In view of the catastrophic road conditions this was not an option and we decided to forego our planned (and paid for) trip to the Fish River Canyon altogether. Under the current conditions we are not likely to visit Namibia ever again - a pity since we have always loved to go there.
Btw: we are not alone in our experience. The staff on the South African side at Sendlingsdrif volunteered that since the new visa rules came into effect the cross-border traffic has slowed massively. „That is bad for our business as well“ was the comment.

翻译：纳米比亚显然正试图摧毁其旅游业。我们就是西方人新签证规定的受害者。
自一月份以来，进入纳米比亚需要昂贵的签证。我们试图通过“落地签”的方式从森德林斯德里夫进入纳米比亚。结果发现那里的边境哨所不允许这样做，我们被告知要绕道3.5小时前往奥兰治蒙德。考虑到糟糕的路况，这最终无济于事，我们决定彻底放弃计划中的（也已付费的）鱼河峡谷之旅。在目前的情况下，我们可能再也不会去纳米比亚了——这很遗憾，因为我们一直都很喜欢那里。
顺便说一句：我们并非唯一有这种经历的人。森德林斯德里夫南非方面的工作人员主动表示，自从新的签证规定生效以来，跨境交通已经大幅放缓。“这对我们的生意也不利。”他们评论道。
