Namibia, answered.

When is the best time to visit Namibia?

It depends on what matters most to you. May to October is the dry season — Namibia’s winter — with mild, clear days, cold nights, and the strongest wildlife viewing as animals gather at Etosha’s waterholes. November to April is the green season: hotter, with dramatic skies, newborn wildlife, excellent birding, fewer travellers and softer rates. Our season guide breaks it down month by month, and we time every route around the experience you want.

Is Namibia safe for travellers?

Namibia is widely regarded as one of Africa’s most stable and welcoming countries to travel in, with a long tradition of tourism. As anywhere, sensible precautions apply, and our private handling — trusted guides, coordinated transfers, and on-ground support — is designed so you can relax into the journey rather than manage logistics.

Do I need a visa, and what are the entry requirements?

Entry requirements depend on your nationality and can change, so we advise confirming the current rules for your passport before you travel. As part of planning your brief, we’ll flag what applies to you and what to prepare, and point you to the official sources to verify.

How does planning a trip with Namora actually work?

You share a private brief — your dates, who’s travelling, and what you’d love to experience. We respond within 24 hours with a proposed route, lodge options and a clear cost outline. Once you’re happy, we confirm every element and manage it on the ground — transfers, guides, timing and special moments — so nothing falls to you during the trip.

Should I self-drive or travel guided / fly-in?

All three work beautifully in Namibia; the right choice depends on your time, budget and appetite for driving. Self-drive suits independent travellers with time to spare; guided travel removes the logistics; fly-in safaris trade long road transfers for scenic flights and rare-access camps. We tailor the balance to you — our journal has a full comparison.

How many days should I spend in Namibia?

Seven to ten nights covers the signature highlights — Sossusvlei, the coast and Etosha — at a comfortable pace. Twelve to sixteen nights lets you add Damaraland, the Skeleton Coast or the Zambezi, or slow down with a fly-in itinerary. Distances are large, so we plan pacing carefully rather than rushing.

How is pricing structured, and what does it cost?

Every Namora journey is bespoke, so cost depends on the season, your chosen level of comfort, and how you move (road versus private aircraft). Rather than fixed packages, we scope a journey to your budget and show a clear cost outline in your proposal, with inclusions and exclusions stated plainly. Share your brief and we’ll give you a realistic picture quickly.

What’s included in a Namora journey?

Typically: accommodation aligned to your style, transfers and movement, private or expert guiding, aircraft coordination where relevant, and on-ground support throughout. Anything not included is stated clearly in your itinerary, so there are no surprises.

Is Namibia suitable for families, honeymoons or corporate groups?

Yes — and each is planned differently. Families get balanced pacing and suitable stays; honeymoons are shaped around privacy and special moments; corporate and VIP groups get discreet, polished handling and efficient routing. Tell us who’s travelling and we’ll shape the journey accordingly.

What about malaria and health precautions?

Much of central and southern Namibia and the coast are low-risk, while the northern regions — parts of Etosha, Kunene and the Zambezi — carry a seasonal malaria risk, mainly in the wetter months. We’ll flag what applies to your route, but always consult a travel-health professional for personal medical advice before you go.

What languages can you plan and communicate in?

We plan and correspond in ten languages — English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo and Twi/Akan — so you can shape your journey in the language you’re most comfortable with.
