Driving
in Namibia: The condition of the roads in Namibia: although many places are
accessible with sedan cars for most of the year during the raining season many areas
require a four wheel drive rental vehicle, or consider renting a vehicle with higher
clearance, a 2x4 pick-up truck is a popular choice amongst the locals in Namibia, and
although not widely available as rental vehicles are suitable for most conditions. During
summer daytime temperatures throughout Namibia can be extreme so a rental vehicle with air
conditioning is desirable.

Climate |
|
| The best time to visit is
March-October (with April-June being preferred), when it rains the least (though the rain
from October-March may not amount to much, it is enough to scatter the wildlife
significantly, decreasing game-viewing potential). The temperature is generally warm
during the day, but it can drop to sweater weather at night. The coldest month is July.
