Traveling in Namibia

 

The seaside cities in Namibia are affected by the Benguela cold current, and the temperature is low all year round, generally around 50-70F. When we have the boat ride in the Walvis Bay, the temperature is low, and the sea breeze is strong. It is recommended to bring a thick coat or fleece jacket and scarf. Similarly, when we take a helicopter in the morning, it will be windy, and the temperature is low. Be prepared to keep warm. At noon, the temperature will rise. The same, when we have boad ride on May 27, it will be windy as well. Besides, when we have desert adventure tour in May 27 afternoon, it may be sandy, don't change your lenses in the desert.

In Namibia, the temperature in winter from April to August is relatively low, and the daytime is about 50-70F. It is recommended to have a thin coat and a thick coat. Lightweight and tightly sealed outdoor shoes and sports shoes are recommended. Sometimes it gets to 32F at night.
