High Season

The winter climate comes between June and October, the dry and completely clear weather (without rain or clouds) allows the landscaping, the sighting of stars and wildlife in a very clear way, however, in these months the cities are with an increase of very broad prices and little lodging available.

Shoulder Season

May and November have fewer tourists than in the high season, with fairly acceptable prices with high accommodation available. The month of November has torrential and sporadic rains. May is a mild month, perfect to visit.

Low Season

The low prices between December and April are due to the continuous rains that permeate the country. The climate does not change the warm and humid temperature. Some roads can become blocked or dangerous. It is not advisable to do outdoor activities.

Your trip to Namibia

Your travel to Namibia has about 213% the climate impact as your entire yearly budget of CO₂ emissions. This "yearly climate-compatible budget" sets the limit of emissions any person should produce in order to keep global warming to below 2C at about 2 tons of CO2. It includes anything from heating to stay warm and cosy in winter, your daily hot showers, the annoying commute to work, any traveling you do, the production of your yummy food and products you buy – and much more you emit by living your life.

travelhero tip
Just like slow food – ever thought about slow travel? Discovering the hidden treasures nearby is a great new adventure. Go by train to get a better feeling of small changes in your surroundings or have a fun road trip with your friends. If you still feel the need to fly, compensate your emissions.
