Namibia in February

February

February is Namibia’s wettest month – but if you can tolerate the rain there’s plenty to enjoy, such as the calving season, lots of migratory birds, and baby meerkats in the country’s dune regions.

  • Day time average temperature = 30°C
  • Night time average temperature = 16°C
  • Average rainfall = 53mm
  • Average daylight = 12.5 hours

What’s the weather going to be like in Namibia in February

  • Days are hot, with strong possibilities of afternoon downpours
  • It’s the middle of wet season, and one of the wettest months in Namibia
  • Temperatures are high

What are the highlights of visiting Namibia in February

  • Availability of properties is good
  • Rates are relatively low
  • As it’s low season, there are far fewer tourists
  • Wildlife in Namibia’s dunes tends to be very active at this time of year – for example, Cape fox and meerkats with their young
  • It’s a great time for birders, particularly for the 450 species in the Caprivi Strip and the vast flocks of flamingo across Swakopmund’s scenic lagoons
  • The water levels of the Kunene river are spectacularly high, perfect for boating safaris featuring water birds

Any lowlights?

  • It can feel very hot and humid in parts of the country
  • Some travellers might not enjoy all the rain
  • As there’s so much water about, animals are more dispersed through Namibia’s safari areas
  • There are more mosquitoes than in the dry season
  • Vehicle safaris tend to yield fewer sightings this month than during the dry season – this is particularly true of Etosha National Park

  • "I'm a regular visitor to Africa and like many of us I just can't wait to go on safari again, especially as I'm aware that the local people desperately need our tourist dollar. Current travel restrictions unfortunately prevented previous arrangements and I was forced to postpone my booking with Ye..."

  • "Working with YZ has been super easy since the very beginning, and I would highly recommend anyone planning a trip to use them. We worked with them to plan a South African honeymoon, and the initial planning and booking went smoothly with the help of Kim. She was honest, insightful and generally k..."

  • "Just writing to express our great appreciation of Emma & the fabulous team at Yellow Zebra for their outstanding safari support during these crazy Covid challenging times.

  • "Linda & Emma were very helpful! We planned our trip before the lockdowns with Linda and she created the perfect trip for us! Then this year we needed to change our plans because of Covid-19 and Emma was a rockstar and was able to get everything we wanted. Can't wait to get to Africa in 2022!!"
