When to go on a Namibia Safari
Namibia might be mostly desert but the country still experiences different seasons. May to October is the winter dry season with little to no rain anywhere. With lovely daytime temperatures and sunny skies, this is the Namibia you see on the postcards and it’s largely considered the best time to visit (but it does get hot in September and October). When the rains come in November, they last until roughly April. The storms come in short, sharp bursts (none of that European drizzle here!) so it’s still a great time to visit. It’s much quieter in many places, the birding is excellent (especially in the Caprivi region) and there are some different activity options available including boating. Just remember that the desert can be an unpredictable place and even if you think it’s going to be warm, pack a jumper just in case…
