\n\n\n\nWildlife and game viewing: <\/strong>Animals, especially in Etosha, tend to spread out and not gather at the waterholes. However, this does not mean that one does not see animals. Many of the plains game like springbok and zebra, give birth during this time so lots of young to be seen<\/strong>. Animals like the lions, leopard and others stay in their territories and do not move away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Desert and landscapes: <\/strong>This period is the best time to visit the Namib Desert with its green grasses, open and clear skies<\/strong> with some beautiful cloud formations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Photography: <\/strong>This is an excellent time in the desert for the Namibia landscapes, beautiful colours<\/strong> as well as ethnic people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Climate \/ Temperatures:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
January & February –<\/em><\/strong> The hottest of the summer months.

<\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nWildlife and game viewing: <\/strong>Water levels are dropping and animals start congregating at waterholes<\/strong> for their daily drink.

Desert and landscapes: <\/strong>Autumn and winter months means cool and chilly evenings bringing crisp conditions, clear skies and pristine dunes<\/strong> and landscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\nWildlife and game viewing: <\/strong>This period can get very hot indeed which makes for excellent game viewing <\/strong>\u2026 again, a wide range of animals meeting at the waterholes. This is often during the heat of the day so good game viewing throughout the day. In the north of Namibia, the rains can start as early as December but game viewing is normally still excellent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Desert and landscapes: <\/strong>All year destination but can get extremely hot<\/strong> from about 11h00 to 16h00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Photography:\u00a0<\/strong>Photography in Namibia is always good \u2026 game in\u00a0Etosha, dunes at\u00a0Sossusvlei, landscapes and\u00a0ethnic people.\u00a0Plan for sunrise and sunset<\/strong>. Middle of the day and early afternoon is hot and the light would not be that good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Climate \/ Temperatures:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
September & October-<\/em><\/strong> From September, daytime temperatures warm up slightly but it still isn\u2019t too hot. The morning and evening chill factor is less and skies are clear as it is still dry season. During October it gets even drier throughout the country, due to the longer period without rain, and it slowly starts to get warmer during the days and evenings. Daytime temperatures can during this time get quite hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
November – <\/em><\/strong>It starts to really warm up as we head towards our peak summer months. It can get very hot throughout Namibia during November, but humidity is still low. Daytime temperatures can rise to 30\u00baC \/ 86\u00baF but can be a lot higher in the southern desert areas and far north of Namibia. Clouds can often be seen in the afternoons but it is not common for rain to fall yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
December – <\/em><\/strong>A hot month overall with the first rains starting to fall throughout the country. When it rains it cools off a bit making for pleasant temperatures. Rains are usually in short bursts and don\u2019t last too long.<\/p>\n\n\n
