Travel to Namibia

Namibia, located in southwestern Africa, offers a range of landscapes, from deserts and savannas to coastal areas. The Namib Desert, stretching along the country’s coastline, is known for its vast dunes and unique natural features such as Sossusvlei and Deadvlei. These areas attract visitors seeking to explore the desert’s clay pans and towering red dunes.

Etosha National Park, located in northern Namibia, is a significant wildlife destination. Centered around the Etosha Pan, a large salt flat, the park is home to diverse animals, including elephants, lions, and giraffes. Game drives are a popular way for visitors to experience the semi-arid landscape and the variety of wildlife.

Damaraland, northwest of Etosha, is known for its rugged mountains and desert-adapted wildlife. Visitors can explore Twyfelfontein, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, famous for its ancient rock engravings, as well as Brandberg Mountain, the highest peak in Namibia, known for its rock paintings. Further south, the Fish River Canyon offers hiking opportunities through one of the largest canyons in the world.

Namibia’s Atlantic coast provides a different experience, with Swakopmund as a base for coastal exploration. The town offers colonial architecture and access to adventure activities like sandboarding and quad biking. Nearby Walvis Bay is known for its wildlife, including flamingos and seals. The Skeleton Coast, further north, features shipwrecks and desert landscapes along the rugged coastline.

In contrast to the arid areas, the Caprivi Strip in the northeast has rivers, wetlands, and more tropical environments. Bwabwata National Park, located here, is home to a variety of wildlife, including hippos and elephants. Windhoek, Namibia’s capital, serves as the country’s main hub, offering a mix of colonial history and modern life, as well as access to the country’s key attractions.

Namibia offers a variety of experiences, from desert landscapes and wildlife reserves to coastal adventures and historical sites, providing diverse opportunities for exploration.

Must Do in Namibia

Each destination offers its own experiences and here are some "must do" activities to experience in Namibia!

Best Time to visit Namibia

Namibia's seasons offer varied experiences for travelers. The dry season, from May to October, is the best time to visit for cooler temperatures and excellent wildlife viewing, particularly in Etosha National Park. Animals congregate at waterholes, and outdoor activities like exploring the Namib Desert and Sossusvlei are more comfortable.

From September to October, temperatures rise, marking the end of the dry season. It’s still good for wildlife viewing, though the heat can be intense.

The wet season, from November to April, brings occasional rains that transform Namibia’s landscapes, creating a “green season” with blooming deserts and abundant birdwatching opportunities. However, travel can be more challenging in remote areas due to flooded roads and unpredictable weather.

Overall, Namibia is accessible year-round, but the dry season is preferred for wildlife, while the wet season reveals lush, vibrant scenery.

Bear in mind that each season has its own particularities, and that a non-advised season may well correspond perfectly to your specific needs.
