When to come.

Namibia is a year-round destination, but each season offers something different. Here's what to expect when planning your safari — and what each window is best for.

May — Aug
Cool & Dry

Peak game-viewing season. Days are warm, nights cold. Animals concentrate around waterholes. Ideal for wildlife and photography.

Sep — Oct
Hot & Dry

The best wildlife months — Etosha's pans are at their busiest. Days are very hot. Book early as lodges fill up.

Nov — Apr
Green Season

The wet months. Lush landscapes, dramatic skies, fewer crowds, lower rates. Birding is exceptional. Some roads can be tricky.

Year-round
Sossusvlei

The desert can be visited any time. Cooler months are most comfortable, but the dunes are spectacular year-round.
