Excellent    Good    Fair    Poor

Damaraland is an excellent year-round destination with a stable climate and little rain. However, the best time to visit is from May to October, during the Dry season. During these months, rainfall is extremely rare and temperatures are generally milder, with cool evenings. As water is scarce, animals remain close to the few remaining waterholes, which makes them easier to spot.


Best Time May to October (Animals gather around water)
High Season July to November (Some places can get quite busy)
Low Season December to June (Low-season rates may apply)
Best Weather May to August (Less hot during the day)
Worst Weather November to March (Hot daytime temperatures; occasional rains possible)

May to October Dry Season – Winter

November to April Wet Season – Summer

Best Time To Go by Major Park
