Best time to travel
With its low rainfall, Namibia is generally good to visit all year round. Rainfall can be expected between the months of December to March but it’s generally localized, afternoon thunderstorms. The winter months of June to August are generally pleasant during the day but very cold to freezing at night, especially in some desert areas. Keen photographers generally prefer the months of March to May and August to October to visit Sosussvlei as the cool air offers clear skies for photography.

In an area known for its towering red sand dunes, Sossus Oasis Camp Site is a little oasis for camping enthusiasts wanting to visit the renowned Namib Desert. Enjoy shaded individual camp sites, each with its ablutions and electricity, a perfect base from which to explore the contrasting desert landscapes and remarkable depths of the Sesriem Canyon. At night marvel at the star studded skies whilst listening to the tune of the barking gecko and the far cry of a jackal. A fuel and service station, internet cafe and, stocked utility shop is available at the adjacent Sossus Oasis Service Station. Meals and guided activities can be booked at the nearby Sossusvlei Lodge.
