When to go
On the whole, the busiest time is the summer (November to April), and you may find it easiest to find cheap flights to Namibia outside of these months. At Etosha National Park, the main draw for wildlife lovers, the best time to view game is during the cooler, dry months between May and September. The interior gets summer rain – with very hot temperatures in January and February – and cold nights in winter. The coastal strip, cooled by the cold Benguela current, is prone to fog year-round.
The Fish River Canyon is considered second only in size to the Grand – and if you’re really brave you can hike 86km into (and out of) it. The Sossusvlei dunelands are a a spectacular sight (and if you’re really brave you can sandboard other dunes). Eyeball big cats, elephants, hyenas and elephants at Etosha Pan.
