Best Time to Visit Windhoek
The Best Time to visit Windhoek is during Namibia’s dry winter months, from May to September. During this period, the weather is pleasantly mild, with clear skies and cooler temperatures—perfect for exploring the city’s vibrant streets and nearby natural wonders without the harsh heat of summer.
Visiting in winter means fewer rains, so outdoor activities and wildlife excursions around Windhoek are more enjoyable. The city buzzes with lively markets, cultural events, and cozy cafés where you can enjoy local flavours while soaking in the warm Namibian sun.
If you prefer warmer weather and blossoming landscapes, the shoulder seasons—March to April and October to November—offer a delightful balance with fewer tourists. Summer months (December to February) bring warmer temperatures and occasional rains, transforming the landscape into a lush, green oasis but may require some flexibility in your plans. No matter when you visit, Windhoek’s welcoming spirit and unique charm await you.
