On Safari in Namibia

Thought Namibia was just a dusty, empty desert? Sit near a bustling waterhole in the Etosha National Park and you'll soon change your mind.

Herds of elephant, snorting rhino and fat-bellied prides of lion dominate the scene amid a mixed cast of colourful antelope. Etosha is a major player on the African safari scene but don't forget there are other great game viewing areas in Namibia as well.

For a great Namibia Safari Holiday we'd firmly recommend our luxury Namibian Fly-in Safari or explore all the hotspots on the rugged Remote and Wild - Namibia's Frontier Country. These safari holidays will give you a great overview of the wildlife of Namibia as well as its staggering natural beauty.

Do It Yourself

Safe and friendly, Namibia is an ideal Safari Holiday destination for an adventurous self-drive tour.

It's far easier than you think: the roads are good, well signposted and there's little traffic. You dictate the pace on tours such as the Best of Namibia Self-Drive or the Classic Namibia Self-Drive and their great itineraries mean you won't miss out on anything.

Family Holidays and Romantic Safaris

It's also a perfect destination for families: a Namibia family holiday combines big game, big thrills and big scenery with plenty to do for all ages - and its dreamy scenery, remote locations and exclusive luxury lodges make it a shoo-in for a romantic Namibia honeymoon.

When to Go on your Namibia Safari Holiday

We recommend a Namibia Safari Holiday between May and November to avoid the hot rainy season but our favourite months are March and April when the weather is pleasant, the bush still green and the rains are ending.

Remember that the dry winter nights between June and August can be surprisingly cold whereas the pre-rainy season months of October and November can be blisteringly hot.

That's not to say it's not worth going in the wetter summer months (Namibia is after all pretty dry no matter when you visit) - the life-giving rains transform the semi-arid savannah into a tapestry of green between December and April, the bird watching is fantastic and many animals give birth at this time - good news for you, good news for predators.
