Namibia is a year round destination. The country experiences two main seasons: summer from October to April and winter from May to September. The summer period is characterised by massive rainfall between January and April, less so from October to November. Therefore, the days are hot and sultry with temperatures up to 40 degrees C. The climate is more temperate along the coast and in the mountains. The winters are dry and daytime temperatures vary around 23 degrees C. Regardless of season, the nights are chilly and the thermometer can drop to zero.
Namibia has a well established network of roads and driving is easy so it’s an excellent destination for independent travellers, self drive tours are a popular choice – see our Namibia Self Drive Safari, for an idea of how to use your time.
