All Months
April through September gives you perfect weather — sunny days around 25°C and cool nights that actually require a jacket. This is peak safari season too, so book accommodations early. October and November heat up fast, with temperatures pushing 35°C by midday. December through March brings summer rains that turn the surrounding hills green but make outdoor activities miserable. The city empties out during European winter (June-August) when German tourists stay home, so you'll find better deals on hotels and tours. Just remember that Windhoek sits in the Southern Hemisphere — winter means dry season here.
