With over 620 bird species native to Namibia, this is one of the best bird watching destinations in Africa. Unmissable sites are Walvis Bay, famous for its flamingo flocks; the sand dunes where you’ll find the endemic Dune Lark and Etosha Pan in Etosha National Park which is home to around 340 species of wetland and migratory birds. Namibia has plenty to keep any keen ornithologist busy.
The best time to go to Namibia is during their winter, from May to September. During these months the skies are clear, temperatures will be in the low to mid-twenties, and there is very little rainfall. If you like warm temperatures, September is the hottest month of this period. Game viewing is at its optimum because animals will be gathering round the watering holes. Similarly, looking for the wild cats is easier when the foliage is less dense, and temperatures are perfect for those guided desert walks.
