Striking Desert Wonders
Namibia is a land of contrasts, where the world’s oldest desert meets the Atlantic Ocean. Towering red dunes rise over vast plains, while the Skeleton Coast’s shipwrecks tell tales of a rugged past.
Etosha National Park offers exceptional Big 5 game viewing in its stark, waterhole-dotted landscape. Along the coast, Swakopmund is Namibia’s adventure capital, with sandboarding and surfing, while Walvis Bay is perfect for kayaking among seals and flamingos.
From the dramatic canyons of the south to the star-studded skies of the Namib Desert, every landscape has its own unique taste.

Days are pleasantly warm, but nights can be freezing – especially in the desert regions. Expect clear skies and crisp air, perfect for stargazing.
SUMMER
OCTOBER TO APRIL
Namibia’s summer months bring sporadic rainfall, transforming the landscape into lush greenery. Temperatures soar during the day but remain warm at night. The best time for photography and birdwatching, though some roads may become impassable after heavy rains.
