When to travel

The season changes what you see.

May – Oct

Dry season

Cool, clear and dusty; game concentrates at Etosha's waterholes and desert travel is at its easiest. Peak months.

Nov – Apr

Green season

Hot with afternoon storms; the desert greens, newborns arrive and the light turns dramatic, with fewer visitors and lower rates.
