About Namibia’s Climate

Volunteer abroad with your family in Africa

Windhoek has a semi-desert climate, with very hot summers and mild winters and temperatures tend to drop at night. On average, Namibia receives about 300 days of sunshine a year.

Summer is from October to April. Temperatures can reach 40° C and plummet at night to cool levels. Winter is from May to September with wonderful warm days which are contrasted by very cold nights, when temperatures often drop to below freezing so please bring warm clothing and a sleeping bag. Average temperatures range from 43°F (6°C) to 70°F (21°C).

The most popular time to travel to Windhoek is between March and October, when rainfall is lowest and temperatures are mild.

We look forward to welcoming you and your family to our Wildlife Sanctuary Project in Namibia!
