When to visit Namibia

Namibia can be visited throughout the year. The climate is generally dry and pleasant. The best time to view wildlife is in the dry season which runs from late March up to October. The period from December to March will provide visitors with more luscious vegetation, and sometimes dry rivers can be seen flowing.

Lone Men of Kaokoland Challenge

When visiting Kaokoland spot any of these almost life-size stone sculptures of men doing various activities. They are mysteriously appearing all over the area, and no one has claimed responsibility for creating them. They are made with the rocks which prevail here, held within a metal frame. Each one is unique, striking a different pose in this beautiful, stark landscape. The sculptures have been spotted along the road between Puros in the south, Van Zyl's Pass in the east, Otjinungua in the north and the Skeleton Coast Park in the west.
