For Namibia, with its mountainous landscapes and unpaved roads, we recommend booking an SUV or a 4x4. These vehicles offer stability and grip, especially if you plan to travel through the Namib Desert or visit remote nature reserves.
Best travel time to visit Namibia
The best time to visit Namibia is during the dry winter months from May to October. The weather is mild, and animals in the national parks are easier to spot at watering holes. Keep in mind that Namibia is a vast country, and climate variations can occur, so check the specific regions you want to visit for the weather.
Food and drink from Namibia
