Safari in Tsiseb Conservancy

Similar to January, with hot days and potential for heavy rainfall. The heat can be intense.

Calving season for many antelope species is in full swing, meaning lots of young animals. Predators are often active, hunting the vulnerable newborns.

We recommend heading to Etosha to witness the abundance of young wildlife and the predators that follow. The waterholes are still less concentrated with animals than in the dry season.

Rainfall begins to decrease, but it can still be warm and humid. The landscape remains green.

The vegetation is still thick, but water sources are starting to become more important. Birding remains excellent.

Temperatures start to cool down, and the air becomes drier. Rainfall is minimal.

The vegetation begins to dry out, making wildlife more visible. Animals start congregating around permanent water sources.

We find April to be a fantastic transition month. The crowds are manageable, and the wildlife viewing in Etosha begins to improve significantly.

Pleasant daytime temperatures and cool to cold nights. Rainfall is very unlikely.

Wildlife viewing becomes excellent as animals rely heavily on waterholes. Etosha's waterholes are magnets for a wide variety of species.

We love May for its comfortable temperatures and the start of prime game viewing in Etosha. The light is also beautiful for photography.

Cool to cold mornings and evenings, with mild daytime temperatures. This is the start of winter.

The dry conditions concentrate wildlife around waterholes, leading to spectacular viewing opportunities. Desert-adapted species are often easier to find.

We recommend June for its ideal weather and the beginning of peak wildlife viewing. The desert landscapes are particularly dramatic.

Cold mornings and evenings, with mild and sunny days. This is the heart of winter.

Wildlife viewing is at its best as animals are heavily dependent on waterholes. Expect large herds and increased predator activity.

We consider July to be one of the best months for wildlife. The sheer concentration of animals at Etosha's waterholes is unforgettable.

Similar to July, with cold mornings and evenings and pleasant, sunny days. The air is dry.

Peak dry season means wildlife is highly concentrated around water sources. Predator sightings are common.

We love August for the consistently excellent game viewing and the dramatic, stark beauty of the desert landscapes.

Temperatures begin to rise, but mornings and evenings remain cool. It's still very dry.

Wildlife viewing remains excellent as water sources are still critical. Birding starts to pick up as resident birds prepare for breeding.

Temperatures are hot, and the air is dry. The first hints of rain may appear towards the end of the month.

Animals are still concentrated around waterholes, but some may start dispersing as the first rains arrive. Birding is good.

We recommend October for its hot desert experience and the last chance to see animals concentrated at waterholes before the rains.

Temperatures remain hot, with increasing humidity and scattered afternoon thunderstorms. The landscape begins to turn green.

The first rains bring fresh grazing, and animals begin to spread out. Birding improves significantly with the arrival of migratory species.

We love the dramatic thunderstorms and the fresh green shoots that appear after the first rains, making for beautiful photographic opportunities.

Hot and humid with frequent afternoon thunderstorms. The landscape is lush and green.

The green season means wildlife is more dispersed, but it's a fantastic time for birding and seeing young animals. The Caprivi Strip is particularly vibrant.

We recommend the Caprivi Strip in December for its lush scenery and excellent birding, though wildlife spotting in drier areas can be more challenging.
