Sossusvlei Tours & Southern Namibia Tours

Southern Namibia is known for its beautiful desert landscapes and expansive vistas - the deep hued dunes of Sosssusvlei; the rugged canyons of Fish River; the bleak wilderness of the Sperrgebiet. Tours to southern Namibia nearly all start from Windhoek unless part of a day trip from a specific lodge. Therefore, it is a good idea to plan your trip before arriving in the country. There are a variety of options available but a good portion of them only include Sossusvlei tours. As a locally-based company, we can help you plan the perfect itinerary for your southern Namibia tour.

For a more general southern Namibia tour you are much more limited unless booking a private trip or on a self-drive itinerary. For those who are interested in a Namibia camping tour then we would recommend the Southern Swing that departs every Friday. If you are looking for an accommodated trip then the 7-day Southern Namibia tour is a good option.

Due to the fact that southern Namibia is less about game viewing and more about dramatic scenery, the best times of year to travel to Namibia is in April-May when the rains have receded but have provided much needed rejuvenation to an otherwise stark and rocky wilderness. Golden plains of grass, fewer tourists (depending on Easter dates) and cooler weather make this an ideal time to travel southern Namibia. Mid-May through to the end of August denotes Namibia's winter months. For the south, this means pleasantly warm days and very cold nights with hardly any chance of rain except in the far south where they occasionally get winter showers. August and September are the busiest months in terms of tourism, as well as being the windiest months. This can be unpleasant when travelling through a region that consists of many sand and gravel roads. In August the popular destinations are often booked out a year in advance so it is definitely worth planning well ahead if you intend to tour Namibia during this period.
