With 300 days of sunshine each year, you are all but guaranteed fine weather in Namibia. January and February are the warmest months, when daytime temperatures can exceed 40 degrees in the heart of the Namib desert.
Alternatively, head to the Atlantic coast for the cool Benguela current. The winter months of April and June are the best time for seeing wildlife, as during this dry period, large groups of Namibia's finest fauna will gather at their local watering holes for much-needed refreshment.
British nationals can enter Namibia for a holiday of up to 90 days without a visa. Check you have been given a correctly-dated entry stamp by Namibian officials at the airport's immigration desk.
Whether you're enjoying a romantic evening meal or snacking on regional specialities, Namibia's eclectic range of cuisines will leave you wanting more. International dishes make use of locally-sourced meats and produce for the freshest, most delicious flavours.
If you want an authentic eating experience, look out for antelope, ostrich, or zebra cooked on a braai (barbecue). While big towns like Windhoek and Lüderitz serve various European dishes, Swakopmund is known for its excellent seafood, especially oysters, and Kalahari truffles.

Resorts & hotels in Namibia
Skeleton Coast
Scattered shipwrecks along the shoreline are an immediate indication of how the Skeleton Coast earned its forbidding name. Even though it's one of the world's most inhospitable waterless areas, a nature trail along the Ugab riverbed will reveal plant species such as welwitschia, Lithops ("living stones"), and delicate lichens that have adapted to their environment.
Fish River Canyon
An otherworldly landscape on an incomprehensible scale, Fish River Canyon is bound to take your breath away. Measuring 100 miles in length, 17 miles in width, and a third of a mile deep, this is the largest canyon in Africa, and its enormous scope can only truly be appreciated on a five-day hike that passes through its core.
Lüderitz
Not what you'd expect to find in Namibia, the town of Lüderitz is awash with German Art Nouveau buildings, and the fact the settlement is sandwiched between the Namib desert and formidable South Atlantic coast makes Lüderitz even more intriguing. Any trappings of the 21st century are forgotten, as early-20th century churches, bakeries, and cafes dominate the charming streets.
Sossusvlei Dunes
Waking up early to climb Sossusvlei's dunes is well worth the effort. You'll be rewarded with a stunning sunrise that makes the dunes shift in shape and change in colour for a mind-bending, life-altering experience. Reaching as high as 325 metres, Sossusvlei's dunes make up one of the oldest and driest ecosystems on earth.
Etosha National Park
Covering more than 8,500 square miles, Etosha National Park is arguably Africa's most quirky wildlife-viewing territory. With unrestricted views across the unspoilt landscape, you might see lions, elephants, cheetahs, rhinos, giraffe, and springboks. And for a few magical days each year, the vast Etosha Pan turns into a shallow lagoon, drawing flamingos, storks and pelicans.
