For many people all over the world, spring is the most exciting time of the year. The cobwebs and cold from the winter months are brushed aside and the earth starts to come back to life, with flowers and greenery bringing a touch of colour back into a dry landscape.

Namibia has a reputation for changing seasons just about overnight. The spring season comes and goes in the blink of an eye, with the winter becoming summer in an instant.

But during those fleeting moments, spring is a wonderful time of year to head out and enjoy the country. The temperatures during this very short time of the year are very pleasant and the heat is not yet too much to deal with. In the spring months, everything is beautiful. The sunsets are stunning, the weather is perfect for star gazing, hiking is more comfortable, and camping is a must.

If you are planning a trip to Namibia this spring, there are some places to see and things to do.

Kaokoland is Magnificent

In the north-east part of the country, Kaokoland is a place that gets a lot of attention from those planning a Namibia safari. Here, the land is untouched and unspoiled, making it the perfect place to go if you want to forget about humanity for a while. You can take a walk to the Epupa Falls and sit beneath the swaying palm trees, just enjoying the moment. Some of the other activities that you can experience in Kaokoland during spring include river rafting, hiking and a visit to the Himba people.

Twyfelfontein is Enticing

A land that is the traditional home to the Damara people, Twyfelfontein and Damaraland are particularly beautiful at this time of year. The area is famous for its rock paintings as well as its roaming desert elephants. Some things that you should do when you are here include taking drives, enjoying morning hikes and sleeping out in nature.

Swakopmund is Calling

The fashionable seaside town of Swakopmund is one place that just becomes more and more beautiful at this time of the year. Along with exploring the town on foot and just doing a little window shopping before stopping for a bite to eat, you can also look forward to sandboarding, going on a camel ride, or even e-biking. Swakopmund is definitely a place to go during your Namibia safari so be sure to add it to your list.

The Kalahari is Waiting

It is one of the driest places in the country and during the spring months, it really starts to come alive again, with spots of green and other colours to be seen. The warmth from the glowing red sands combined with that warm, fresh spring air, makes for the perfect holiday atmosphere. You should choose a great desert lodge where you can lounge by the pool and just take in all of the amazing sightings, and just live in the moment. You can also look forward to game drives, desert walks and lazy days.
