September is an excellent time to visit Namibia. Wildlife viewing is exceptional and an ideal opportunity to see desert-adapted rhinos and elephants.

Take your Namibia trip to the next level by seeing the terrific landscapes during a hot-air balloon safari. The point of view from here is perfectly scenic.

For Big Five sightings, including rhinos, the Ongava Game Reserve is a fantastic choice as it’s known for its black and white rhino conservation efforts. If you’re keen on contributing to conservation, this reserve should be on your list.

Another region of interest is the Okonjima Nature Reserve. This reserve has a strong focus on leopard conservation. The foundation responsible for this is The AfriCat Foundation, which rehabilitates injured and orphaned leopards before releasing them back into the wild. You are highly likely to see these animals on a game drive.

Weather in September

While the environment tends to get dustier in September, clear skies are still prominent, allowing visitors to see wildlife in different locations in Namibia. Since parks are now dustier, photography isn’t ideal this time of year.

Places to Visit in Namibia and Why

Windhoek

Windhoek is the capital city of Namibia and includes a blend of African and European cultures.

You can learn more about these cultures by visiting the Independence Memorial Museum and the Alte Feste, which houses a collection of interesting artefacts and exhibits.

Skeleton Coast

September is one of the best times to visit Skeleton Coast. The pleasant temperatures make it all the more exciting to see unique wildlife, seabirds, and its fascinating shipwrecks, which sparked the region’s name.

Sossusvlei

Surprising photography opportunities await, as many activities, such as stargazing and dune climbing, are ideal at this time of year.

Temperatures are often mild, which makes outdoor activities possible.
