WHEN TO TRAVEL TO NAMIBIA?

Located in the southern hemisphere, the seasons are the opposite of Europe’s. Remember that when it’s summer at home, it’s winter in Namibia. Overall, the weather follows a two-season pattern with a dry season during winter (May–August) and a humid season during summer (January–April). Despite its arid climate, Namibia’s weather varies depending on the region, altitude and distance from the Atlantic Ocean. In the Namib or Kalahari Deserts, the daytime temperature can reach around 40°C in summer and fall to below zero at night during winter. Avoid travelling from December to April when the temperatures soar in Namibia. During this season, rain can be heavy in some regions. Generally, the best season for a motorcycle tour in Namibia is from May to November when the rain and unbearable heat subside.
