WHEN TO VISIT
WHEN TO VISIT
Spring (Aug-Oct): Highly recommended can be windy from August and very hot in October but dry conditions concentrate wildlife to waterholes like you’ve never seen before!
Winter (June-August): Highly recommended, start of the dry season with cooler winter temps. Good for night sky photography.
Autumn (April/May): Highly recommended, it’s a beautiful time of year, may still be good color in the landscapes April, if it has been a good rain year.
Full Summer (Oct-Jan): Not recommended for landscapes as the light is harsh almost immediately after sunrise and it is extremely hot!
End Summer (Feb/March): Green Season, Etosha is transformed into carpets of green often with stormy sky backdrops, and all the migrant birds are back. There are few tourists, little dust and low season rates. It’s a great time but the wildlife is scattered and does not concentrate waterholes like it does in the dry season.
