It’s the green season in Namibia, a time when comfortable temperatures, blooming desert landscapes and abundant wildlife make the outdoors especially inviting. Migratory birds add vibrant life to the scene: in the Mahango area alone more than 400 species — from white-browed robin-chats to woodland kingfishers — can be found across roughly 97 square miles.
Experience Namibia firsthand with ROW Adventures, which is offering a selection of guided trips throughout 2014. These itineraries highlight the country’s diverse natural and cultural attractions: paddle and hike through the dramatic landscapes near Etosha National Park, explore towering sand dunes, view ancient rock art at the Twyfelfontein UNESCO World Heritage site, and enjoy game drives across the Etosha Pan. Conservation-focused encounters with native predators, including leopard and cheetah sightings organized in partnership with the AfriCat Foundation, are another feature of these journeys.
ROW Adventures’ packages typically include all meals, experienced professional guides, comfortable hotel accommodations, airport transfers to and from Windhoek International Airport, and travel in air-conditioned safari vehicles for on‑route comfort and convenience.
Whether you’re a birdwatcher, photographer, or outdoor enthusiast, Namibia’s green season offers excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing and landscape photography, with lush vegetation enhancing sighting conditions and providing fresh habitat for many species.
