9 spots8 speciesJune
01 · Overview
The best time to visit Namibia is between May and October, when dry days bring Etosha’s wildlife and Sossusvlei’s dunes into sharp relief. With 20°C to 25°C weather, it’s ideal for safaris, hiking Fish River Canyon, or exploring Swakopmund. For fewer crowds, try April or November.
