Why Choose a Safari Holiday in Namibia?

Namibia is not your typical safari destination; it’s something far more spectacular. It’s a place where elephants traverse deserts, shipwrecks line the wild Skeleton Coast, and the rust-red dunes of Sossusvlei contrast with cobalt-blue skies. This land speaks to the adventurous spirit, offering solitude and soul-stirring scenery at every turn.

What sets Namibia apart is not just its otherworldly terrain but the sense of space and serenity it offers. Wildlife thrives in even the harshest environments, and the diversity; from desert-adapted lions and elephants to oryx and meerkats; is breathtaking.

At Gamewatchers Safaris, we bring decades of experience in conservation-led travel to offer expertly planned Namibia holidays that allow you to explore responsibly, comfortably, and intimately.

When to Go on Safari in Namibia

Namibia is a year-round destination, but the best time for a safari holiday depends on your interests. From May to October, the dry season brings superb wildlife viewing, especially in Etosha National Park. The cooler weather and clear skies also make this an excellent time for photography and road travel.

The summer months from November to April are warmer and see some rainfall, transforming the landscapes with bursts of green and attracting migratory birds. This is a great time for dramatic skies and fewer crowds.
