Discover Namibia
What time of year is best for travel?
If you're dying to discover Namibia, take note. Between May and October, that is, the southern winter, is the perfect time to visit this impressive African country. The temperatures remain pleasant, ranging from 20 to 28°C, which makes activities like walking through the Namib Desert or going on safaris in Etosha very enjoyable. In addition, the dry season causes animals to gather around water sources, making wildlife observation easier.
Although Namibia doesn't have internationally renowned festivities, there's always something to do. From local fairs to art and culture exhibitions, there are small events that allow you to immerse yourself in local life. And don't worry about prices or accommodation availability. It's true that prices can be a bit higher due to tourist demand, but if you book in advance, you'll find hotels for all tastes and budgets. So, what are you waiting for to plan your trip to Namibia?
How far in advance should you make your reservations?
To get good prices and ensure availability in the best hotels in Namibia, it is advisable to plan **at least 6 months in advance**, especially if your goal is to visit during the high season between May and October. Hotels in the Etosha Reserve or Swakopmund fill up quickly.
A recommendation for Namibia is to consider lodges within the nature reserves. Although they may seem expensive at first glance, many include safaris and meals, which can ultimately result in savings. To get the best deal, it is advisable to book your flight and accommodation as a package. This way, you save money and only have to worry about enjoying this incredible destination.
What should you see during your trip?
Namibia is a treasure trove of desert landscapes and exotic wildlife. If you enjoy breathtaking scenery, **Sossusvlei** is a must-visit. Here you will find some of the tallest dunes in the world and a breathtaking display of colors at sunrise.
However, it's not all about dunes and desert. On the Skeleton Coast, you will feel like an explorer from the past, discovering shipwrecks and seal colonies. In the Damaraland region, don't miss the Twyfelfontein petroglyphs, a piece of history engraved in stone.
If you're into animals, Etosha National Park is the ideal place. Elephants, lions, and even black rhinos roam freely in the territory. And speaking of animals, in the Caprivi Strip, the atmosphere is more tropical and the rivers are filled with hippos and crocodiles.
For the more adventurous, Swakopmund offers extreme sports such as sandboarding on the dunes or skydiving. And if you prefer something more peaceful, you can always try the 'braai', a Namibian-style barbecue prepared in the midst of nature.
With so much to see and do, Namibia offers a complete adventure for any type of traveler. It's one of those places you have to visit to believe.
