300 days of sunshine a year make Namibia a year-round option, but there are a few things worth bearing in mind. The summer months from October to February can be pretty hot and the bulk of the country’s rainfall also occurs during this period. Those visiting the north of the nation will want to avoid March due to regular floods. Wildlife viewers should target April to June, when the drier weather brings animals into the open at watering holes.
