Best time to visit Namibia by season
April -May/June: This is a great time to travel in Namibia. Expect crisp, fresh air, green landscapes and increasingly dry weather conditions.
June/July – August: The Namibian “Winter” season is a comfortable time to travel with cool and dry conditions. Rivers and water sources recede creating good game viewing opportunities as wildlife congregates around waterholes. Temperatures can drop below freezing point in some areas. August is a very dusty month in Namibia.
September – October: Expect warm temperatures with great game-viewing opportunities. However, there’s often a lot of dust all around. Wildlife are gathered around watering holes so if you don’t mind the rising temperatures, this time is ideal for game viewing.
November: Sometimes the hot, dry weather will continue, but at other times the sky will fill with clouds and threaten to rain.
December – March (Rainy Season): This is the Namibian “Summer” – expect warm to very hot temperatures with occasional heavy, wet conditions. It’s the best time for birding in Namibia.
What to Pack
Pack things that you would normally wear in a warm climate. In the parks and resorts clothing is generally casual. A few suggested items include good quality sunglasses – preferably polarized, a flashlight, if you wear contact lenses, we recommend that you bring along a pair of glasses in case you get irritation from the dust, a southern African bird guide if you are a keen bird watcher, personal toiletries (basic amenities are supplied by most establishments), malaria tablets (if applicable), moisturising cream and suntan lotion – SPF 20 or higher recommended, basic medical kit (aspirin, plasters, Imodium, antiseptic cream, Antihistamine cream etc), camera equipment and plenty of film/memory sticks, waterproof/dustproof bag/cover for your camera, and binoculars. Please bear in mind that scheduled airlines in southern Africa generally impose a weight restriction of 20 kg per economy class traveller, and 30 kg for business class. Please check with your Trip Coordinator about the specific luggage restrictions for your flights.
