FAQs

When is the best time to visit Namibia?
Toggle accordion

May to October offers prime conditions with clear skies, comfortable temperatures, and excellent wildlife viewing. September is often considered ideal for combining all activities. However, shoulder season (November to April) provides dramatic landscapes, exceptional birding, newborn wildlife, and better value. Each season offers unique rewards.

Is Namibia suitable for self-drive safaris?
Toggle accordion

Absolutely. Namibia is Africa's premier self-drive destination with excellent roads, clear signposting, and safe conditions. Distances are vast, requiring careful planning. Most visitors combine self-driving with fly-in segments for remote areas like Skeleton Coast. Your Africa Travel Specialist arranges ideal combinations.

What makes Namibia different from other African destinations?
Toggle accordion

Namibia offers otherworldly desert landscapes, including the world's oldest desert and highest sand dunes. Desert-adapted wildlife, dramatic coastlines, and exceptional dark-sky stargazing create experiences found nowhere else. Lower tourist numbers and self-drive freedom add to its unique appeal.

Do I need a 4x4 vehicle in Namibia?
Toggle accordion

For main routes connecting Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, and Etosha, standard vehicles suffice. However, 4x4s are essential for remote areas like Damaraland, Kaokoland, and certain Skeleton Coast sections. Your specialist recommends appropriate vehicles based on your itinerary and experience level.

Can Namibia be combined with other destinations?
Toggle accordion

Excellently. Victoria Falls lies just across the border in Zimbabwe. Botswana's Okavango Delta and Chobe complement Namibia's desert landscapes. South Africa's Cape Town adds coastal sophistication. Zambia offers additional Victoria Falls perspectives. Multi-country combinations create comprehensive southern African adventures.
