What to See in Namibia for First Time Travelers?

With the spectacular scenery and stunning landscapes like no other place on earth, Namibia is always regarded as a land of brave and free. For first time travelers who take Namibia tours, we suggest to plan a trip of 8 to 10 days to cover the highlights in Windhoek, Sossusvlei, Swakopmund, Twyfelfontein, Etosha National Park. Windhoek is the capital and the entry point to Namibia.

In Sossusvlei, the iconic huge red sand dunes of Namib Desert contrasting with the clear blue Africa sky will absolutely leave you a deep impression. Then go to the beautiful coastal city Swakopmund to do some extreme activities or just sniff the relaxing atmosphere there. In Twyfelfontein, you will marvel at the rock carvings that have been created 6,000 years ago by the San people. In Etosha National Park, various amazing wildlife congregating in a waterhole to drink at the same time is a grand scene you will never forget, which also makes Etosha so different with the other national parks in Africa. All above will make your Namibia tour memorable.

When is the Best Time to Travel Namibia?

The best time to visit Namibia is in the winter dry season from June to October, when the days are sunny and pleasant. It is also the best time to view wildlife in all parks as they will congregate near the rivers and waterholes.
