when to visit Windhoek

To best enjoy Windhoek’s attractions and the surrounding natural landscapes, the dry season from May to October is generally recommended. During these months, the weather is mild and pleasant, and wildlife viewing opportunities are excellent, especially in nearby national parks like Etosha. The wet season, from November to April, brings hotter temperatures and occasional heavy rains, but also lush green landscapes and fewer tourists.
