WHEN

Damaraland has a desert climate which makes it a great year-round destination. The best time to spot the desert-adapted wildlife is during the long dry winter season, May - October. With rain virtually absent, the wildlife will congregate around the limited water sources. Clear skies during this season makes for excellent stargazing.
From November to April, it is the wet summer season. There will be greener and more vibrant landscapes, this provides a better time for birdwatching.

WHERE
