Best Time to Visit Namibia
July to October is the peak season in Namibia. Cool weather in winter and spring makes road trips through the desert in Namibia more comfortable. You can also see desert wildlife in Etosha National Park in the north. And it is also the great time for astrophotography.
Winter is considered the best time to visit Sossusvlei. There is no dust in the air, it is good time to see the red sand dunes and the blue sky. Go to the park at 6am to see the dunes changing colour as the sun rises, it's amazing.
The warmest period in Namibia is from November to March. On average, it reaches more than 38 degrees every day, but this time is the most cost-effective time, and there are few tourists.
During the summer months, when there is less fog and warmer nights, camping around the country is a great option. You can easily see thousands of pink flamingos and blue cranes this season.
April to June is the best season for road trips in Namibia. The hot summer temperatures are starting to cool, and the entire rainy landscape is green.
