Namibia
Comprised largely of one of the most beautiful and surreal deserts on the planet (the mighty Namib, which translates as ‘open space’), Namibia is popularly called the ‘Gem of Africa’, staying pretty untouched and undefiled for centuries. Come and visit Etosha National Park, home to Africa’s tallest elephants and the endangered Black Rhino. Did you also know that Namibia has the largest free-roaming cheetah population in the world (approximately 2,500 – 3,000 at last count)? Head out to the Skeleton Coast, once the burial ground for a thousand ships because of blinding fog, and now home to over 100,000 seals that thrive and cavort there. Scale the highest sand dunes in the world, the incredible Sossusvlei (nearly 1000 feet high), or hang with the nomadic San Bushmen who speak a delightful clicking language. Whatever your desire, Namibia will go above and beyond to excite you.

Peak Season Description:
The perfect conditions for game watching, coupled by picture-postcard-perfect days, low humidity and clear skies. The dry weather peaks in October, making large groups of animals congregate around disappearing waterholes.
Shoulder Season Description:
The end of the humid rainy season, and the start of winter, which gradually progresses and peaks in July and August. Waterholes are still dry enough to attract game. In the peak winter months of July and August, the temperatures can drop to freezing in the desert, especially at night. Bundle up well on all game drives during this period; even days can drop as low as 13 C.
Low Season Description:
The start of the rainy season sees a spike in temperatures and humidity which worsen as the season progresses. The excessive rains through December February make game viewing slim, because of abundance of water. However, it is the best time for bird watching in the Caprivi Strip, and Swakopmund sees a profusion of flamingos. If you can only travel at this time, these are your best bets.
