When to go en Namibie ?
Namibia's wide open spaces are surprisingly transformed by the seasons, and each season brings its own surprises and wonders. If you find it hard to choose between the magnificent starry skies of the dry season (April-October) and the superb sunsets of the wet season (November-March), a good alternative might be the off-season, preferably after the rains to take advantage of the rare green spaces.
Namibia has three types of climate: desert, semi-arid and subtropical. From December to April, very hot summer and rainy season (quite short though); from May to September, winter (pleasant weather in Namibia during the day and cold at night, up to -10°C at night in July in the highlands or in the desert) and dry season; from October to December, hot and dry season (best time to observe the wildlife in Namibia)
The best time to go to Namibia is between November and April; this period is much less touristy and the weather is generally very pleasant. From May to October, the climate is even better but it is the high season in Namibia so the safaris are not very pleasant because of the large number of tourists. On the other hand, the rainy season from December to March, the low season in Namibia, is really to be avoided if you want to visit the national parks.

Ideas for holidays and week-end breaks en Namibie
No need to deny it, you don't visit Namibia in a week unless you can afford the fly-in safari and more. These air-taxi trips are indeed very expensive and require a lot of support from small planes (which is not unpleasant considering the beauty of the landscapes). It is thus necessary to count 6 nights on the spot (without including the 2 nights of travel to and from Namibia) to discover the most famous sites of the country: Sossusvlei, the Atlantic coast, Damaraland and Etosha. For the majority of travellers, who will be travelling on Namibian roads, a minimum of 10 days is required to visit the most famous sites, and a stay of 3 weeks will allow an almost complete tour of the destination. Count 4 weeks with the Kavango- Zambezi region. Namibia is therefore a country that can be visited and then revisited by focusing on a thematic stay or a region.
