The Best Time for Unforgettable Birdwatching in Namibia
Why February and November?
We carefully schedule our tours during periods when not only Namibia’s resident bird species are at their most visible, but also when intra-African and pale-arctic migratory birds enrich the country’s avifauna. Our goal is to provide you with the widest possible variety of high-quality bird sightings.
Namibia’s summer begins as early as September, when the first migratory birds arrive. By October, additional species from Central Africa and the Northern Hemisphere join the spectacle. However, as November becomes increasingly hot and dry—with temperatures rising further in December and peaking in January—we do not offer tours during these extreme months.
Namibia’s peak summer lasts until early April. As a summer rainfall country, Namibia receives precipitation from January to March, primarily fuelled by moisture from the Indian Ocean. The northeast receives the heaviest rains, while the southwest remains drier and less predictable. Many birds respond nomadically to rainfall, making February to April an exceptional time for birdwatching—though heavy rains can sometimes be expected.
In short: The best months to experience, observe, and photograph Namibia’s birdlife in its full splendour are November, February, and March.

Detailed itinerary
Day 1
Departure 7.2.2026
Landing early on 8.2.2026
1 overnight stay near Windhoek in a well-kept lodge amidst the acacia savannah of the Khomas Highlands, offering excellent access to various birding hotspots.
inclusive:
- Dinner, bed and breakfast
Birdlife in the Khomas Highland
A variety of habitats…
After arriving at the airport, we head straight into nature. If we start early enough, a detour to a nearby dam is worthwhile to spot some Namibian wetland birds.
Our first accommodation is located not far from the capital and offers ideal access to top birding hotspots, including species-rich acacia landscapes, rocky slate mountains, and the dam with its diverse habitats.
In the acacia savannah of Namibia’s central highlands, we can expect exciting bird species alongside some African mammals, such as the semi-endemic Monteiro’s Hornbill, various cisticola species, and the striking Crimson-breasted Shrike. Other highlights include Bradfield’s Swift, Ashy Tit, Violet-eared and Black-faced Waxbills, Black-throated Canary, Short-toed Rock Thrush, Barred Wren-Warbler, and, with a bit of luck, the hard to spot yet not rare Orange River Francolin.
If time allows we might head out to Otjihavera to find Violet Wood-Hoopoe, Rüppell’s Parrot, the one or other Woodpecker, semi-endemic Damara Red-billed Hornbill and quite a number of Waterbirds at a few reed-lined dams.

- 2 overnight stays in the Namib Desert, where ancient fossilised dunes and younger sand dunes meet in a spectacular display of color.
inclusive:
- Dinner, Bed and Breakfast
The Dune Lark in a stunning Habitat
Our journey takes us across the western escarpment, where breathtaking panoramas await. Along the way, we make several stops to examine the enormous communal nests of the Sociable Weaver—often shared with Pygmy Falcons, their so-called “nest parasites.” With some luck, we might spot the elusive Cinnamon-breasted Warbler among the granite formations of the escarpment.
A true highlight is the Dune Lark, once Namibia’s only true endemic bird. Its rusty-brown to orange plumage blends perfectly into the stunning scenery—an endless expanse of red dunes and golden grasses.
This is not the only lark in the area though, since grey-backed Sparrow-Larks, Stark’s Lark, Sabota Lark and Karoo Long-billed Larks are sharing this dry habitat.
The dunes in the morning light create an unforgettable sight. In addition to the remarkable birdlife, we also introduce you to fascinating reptiles and the !Nara plant, a vital survival resource in the desert. On eco-conscious game drives, we explore the mesmerizing dune valleys and experience the profound silence of the desert.
Finally, we reach Sossusvlei, a dried clay pan shaped by the Tsauchab River before it was cut off by towering dunes. The world’s highest dunes rise dramatically into the sky—those who brave the climb are rewarded with a spectacular view.
To conclude, we visit Sesriem Canyon, an impressive water-carved gorge offering a fascinating glimpse into the geological history of the region.

Traversing the World’s Oldest Desert to the Atlantic…
We traverse the seemingly lifeless gravel plains of the Namib in search of Karoo Eremomela, Rufous-eared Warbler, Tractrac Chat, and Gray’s Lark.
Rüppell’s- and Ludwigs Bustard entertain the gravel plains while we keep our eyes peeled for Namaqua Chameleon.
Who would have thought that amidst this arid landscape, one could encounter a plant nearly as old as Ginkgo biloba, first discovered by Friedrich Welwitsch in 1859?
Namibia’s coastline offers an impressive variety of habitats—if you know how to find the birds.
The Walvis Bay Lagoon is home to countless shorebirds, with an especially rich diversity between October and March. Thanks to our local expertise, we navigate hidden trails to provide excellent sightings of Damara Tern amongst numerous tern species, and a refreshing variety of waders.
We take a walk along “Bird Paradise” nestled within the dune world east of the lagoon, where grebes, ducks, and Lesser Flamingos create stunning photographic opportunities.
In Swakopmund, you can enjoy a fine coffee under palm trees, capture images of the Orange River White-eye, and browse bookshops for ornithological literature.

Spitzkoppe & Erongo
Finding the Herero Chat is challenging, but its habitat is a breathtaking geological destination for birding and photography. The Spitzkoppe, with its so-called “Bushman’s Paradise,” offers exceptional birdwatching opportunities, where one may encounter Layard’s Warbler, the pale schlegelii subspecies of Karoo Chat, as well as numerous Mountain Wheatears and Canaries. Klipspringers dart up the rock faces, while thick Butter Trees adorn the granite formations.
On a private farm nestled within the Erongo granite formations, we explore the rocky outcrops in search of elusive species such as Hartlaub’s Spurfowl and Damara Rockrunner. Among the region’s intriguing mammals, we may come across Klipspringer, Black Mongoose, Dassie Rat, or Western Rock Sengi. Before dawn, as we listen for the spurfowl, you will be treated to the unmistakable song of the Bokmakierie.

Etoscha Nationalpark
Etosha National Park, the “Great White Place,” spans over 22,000 km² and ranks among Africa’s top wildlife reserves. At its heart lies a vast salt pan, surrounded by diverse vegetation. With wildlife largely accustomed to vehicles, game viewing and photography opportunities are exceptional.
Along the roads, you may spot antelope species like Springbok, Red Hartebeest, Blue Wildebeest, Steenbok, Damara Dik-Dik, Black-faced Impala, and Oryx. Lions are commonly seen, while Leopards and Cheetahs are more elusive. The park also hosts Elephants, Giraffes, and the rare Black Rhinoceros.
Among the avian highlights, expect regular sightings of Kori Bustard, Red-crested Bustard, and White-quilled Bustard. Etosha is home to a remarkable variety of larks, including Eastern Clapper Lark, Red-capped Lark, Stark’s Lark, and Pink-billed Lark. Around midday, Burchell’s Sandgrouse flock to waterholes, followed by Double-banded Sandgrouse after sunset.
Raptors are well represented, with good chances of spotting Martial Eagle, Tawny Eagle, Booted Eagle, African Hawk-Eagle, Brown Snake Eagle, and Wahlberg’s Eagle.

Kavango / Okavango
The northeastern dry forest and Miombo woodlands host a rich array of central African species. We search for rarities like the Rufous-bellied Tit, Souza’s Shrike, Sharp-tailed Starling, and Grey-headed Parrot.
Our species list grows rapidly in the lush riparian vegetation of the Okavango Delta’s Panhandle, where we focus on the elusive Pel’s Fishing Owl.
In Mahango National Park, a compact yet biodiverse reserve, we find Tsessebe, Sable, and Roan Antelopes, along with Giraffes, Elephants, Red Lechwe, Waterbuck, Sitatunga, and Common Reedbuck along the Okavango’s shores. If time allows, we also explore Buffalo Park, a remote, wildlife-rich area on the eastern bank.
Even in the garden, we spot Amethyst Sunbird, Brown-, Jameson’s-, and Red-billed Firefinch, White-browed Robin-Chat, and Meyer’s Parrot. A flatboat excursion offers chances to see Warblers, African Skimmer, Herons, Bee-eaters, and other species. With luck, we may encounter sought-after birds like African Snipe, Slaty Egret, White-backed Night Heron, and Allen’s Gallinule.

Zambezi
Today, we enjoy some roadside birding, looking for species like the Racket-tailed Roller, Broad-billed Roller, Black-headed Oriole, Red-headed Weaver, Tinkling Cisticola, and Arnot’s Chat. This lush region also hosts various Bee-eaters and Kingfishers, while the Southern Banded Snake Eagle is a frequent sight.
The mighty Zambezi River splits into long islands and side channels. Though much wildlife has been displaced by the dense Lozi population, a boat trip offers fantastic photography opportunities, featuring various Turacos, the rare African Finfoot, and several Bee-eater species. From August onward, Southern Carmine Bee-eaters nest in the riverbanks—a must-see for birders.
We also take a 4WD route across the Upper Chobe floodplains, a prime spot for Black-bellied Bustard, Rosy-throated Longclaw, Yellow-throated Sandgrouse, and waders like the African Snipe.

Chobe National Park – Botswana
Today, we head to the Chobe River, where Namibia, Zambia, Botswana, and Zimbabwe meet in one of Africa’s most wildlife-rich regions. Each year, the Chobe River floods shallow islands, creating a thriving ecosystem.
Elephants line the riverbanks, sometimes swimming—a spectacular sight for photographers. The islands are grazed by Buffalo, Impala, Puku Antelope, and Waterbuck, while hundreds of Hippos and large Nile Crocodiles bask along the shores or slip into the water.
Flocks of African Openbills wade through the shallows—can we capture one with a dripping Apple Snail in its bill? Overhead, White-backed Ducks, Spur-winged Geese, and Pratincoles glide past.
Along the banks, we may spot the elusive Slaty Egret or the Black Heron, which forms a wing canopy to lure prey.
For photographers, kingfishers are a highlight! They perch on open branches, offering stunning shots—sometimes with a fish in their beaks. Whether Malachite, Half-collared, or Giant Kingfisher, the Chobe River delivers unforgettable moments.

Victoria Falls and Its Unique Spray Rainforest (Zimbabwe)
At Victoria Falls, a constant mist nourishes a lush spray rainforest, where Cape Figs, Ferns, Water Pear Trees, and towering Baobabs thrive along the riverbanks.
As you admire the ripening Ficus sur fruits, a Trumpeter Hornbill may flutter above, feasting on the abundant figs and berries, while the striking Schalow’s Turaco flashes its vivid red wings with an excited call.
We keep an eye out for Bearded Scrub-Robin, Honeyguides, and Spectacled Weaver, all high on our target list. Hidden in the undergrowth, the Thrush Nightingale moves discreetly, the Red-faced Cisticola calls loudly, and the tiny Bronze Mannikin darts between the ferns.
With over 470 bird species recorded, this is a true biodiversity hotspot.
If desired, we can arrange a scenic helicopter flight over the breathtaking Victoria Falls for an unforgettable aerial perspective.

We are happy to answer frequently asked questions in advance
Is this a twitcher tour where it's all about collecting species?
Primarily, our tours are not geared solely towards twitching, allowing ample time for observation, photography, and enjoying the rich birdlife. Nevertheless, it’s important to note that this is a birder tour, where our focus remains on actively calling, locating, and observing birds. Naturally, other aspects of nature are also integral to the trip, and we are equally enthusiastic about providing information on plants, reptiles, or mammals.
Is this trip well-suited for observing Namibian endemics?
Yes, indeed. The trip offers a healthy mix of diverse habitats. You will encounter numerous endemic species, as well as others not exclusive to Namibia. If your focus is specifically on endemic species, exploring an individual trip might be worth considering.
Am I in the right place as a bird photographer?
You undoubtedly have ample time for photography. We are flexible, patient, and more than willing to capture unique moments ourselves. However, if you have very specific photo preferences, an individual trip might be the optimal solution.
Is it likely to be inconvenient to be in a group with German-speaking participants?
Not at all, as our guides are fluent in multiple languages, and most Germans are proficient in English, fostering a seamless connection through our shared passion for birdwatching.
Why Booking Flights Through a Travel Agent Still Makes Sense in the Digital Age
In a time when flight bookings are just a few clicks away, it may seem old-fashioned to involve a travel agent. But when it comes to navigating the ever-changing world of air travel—delays, reroutes, strikes, cancellations, and the charming surprise of “you no longer have a seat”—working with a real human still has very real advantages when unexpected challenges arise, such as:
Delays and last-minute flight changes
Strikes or changes made by the airline
Seat changes without prior notification
The need to rebook during your trip
Especially in those moments—just imagine being on safari while these changes occur—it is incredibly helpful to have a reliable contact person who handles everything quickly and professionally.
Our Recommendation:
Even if booking flights through a travel agency may seem slightly more expensive, it is absolutely worth the investment. The service, support, and peace of mind it provides, particularly in problematic situations, are priceless.
We’ve had consistently excellent experiences with the following agencies – they are professional, fast, and reliable.
Important:
Please make sure to always mention that you are booking through Leaflove Safari / Albert Voigts.
This is the only way we can ensure that all flight times are accurately recorded and that we can coordinate with the agents to perfectly align the itinerary with your travel plans – e.g. for organizing transfers, airport greetings, or handling last-minute changes.
