Green Season
For those who are fortunate enough to experience it, Namibia’s green season reveals some of its rare and beautiful natural occurrences. A rebirth of sorts, it breathes life into various ecosystems.
In the country’s north, the Ruacana Falls scream back to life, displaying their magnificent cascades in full force. The Sandhof lilies make a brief but captivating appearance in the southern desert near Maltahöhe, covering the landscape in beautiful pink and white flowers following heavy rainfall.
The season is about more than simply beautiful scenery – it’s a time when the roads are calmer and the normal crowds of tourists give way to a more personal travel experience. The sense of seclusion and quiet that Namibia is famed for becomes more pronounced, making it a perfect time for a road trip adventure or a well-deserved retreat into nature’s embrace.
The classic landscapes – whether the dunes of Sossusvlei, the wildlife-rich plains of Etosha, or the rugged beauty of the Skeleton Coast – take on a new, dynamic aspect, surprising even seasoned travellers.
Lodges and campsites provide the perfect atmosphere, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the peacefulness of the surroundings and truly appreciate the symphony of life that emerges with the rains.
Whether it’s watching a herd of springbok graze against a lush green backdrop or admiring a typically beautiful Namibian sunset, the green season provides innumerable magical moments. Allow the rains to freshen not just the landscapes but also your soul, reminding you of nature’s boundless capacity to surprise and inspire.
