Things I should experience this summer in Namibia

Summer seems to be a bit of a teaser this time around, here today and gone the next minute, and then back again with some wind. As the Namibian holiday season – November, December and January – draws closer, for most people it is a period to spend time with family and friends.

It seems as though summer is finally here, bringing with it endless options such as spending time at the beach, braaing, camping, hiking, people-watching, reading outdoors or star-gazing. Below are some of my favourite summer activities.

Spa treatments

Ending the year in perfect style is just what the soul and body requires. Whether you are in need of a ‘deep tissue massage’, a ‘back, neck and shoulder massage’ to release the year’s tension, or a steam-based treatment to detoxify your body, Soulstice Day Spa Windhoek will do the trick.

Game viewing

For wildlife lovers, calling Etosha Safari Camp your home for a few days, will give you the opportunity to explore Etosha National Park during early morning or late afternoon game drives.

Namushasha River Lodge offers a very different wildlife experience, where you can enjoy a game drive in the Bwabwata National Park via boat transfer on the Kwando River. The birding in this area is absolutely fantastic, so don’t forget your camera!

Food to relish

Just think about it… juicy watermelon squares on a hot summer’s day or even an entire watermelon to share with those closest to you right at the swimming pool? It should be number one on your summer ‘must-eat’ list unless you’re allergic to it.

Although the best watermelons are usually found in early December, there are currently some delicious ones for sale on Nelson Mandela Avenue in Eros, from the vendors on the roadside. So, treat yourself to a juicy watermelon soon! Similar options are the Corky Monkey Orange or Maguni. This fruit is originally from northern and north-eastern Namibia within close proximity to the Okavango River, but is found for sale at local markets throughout the country.

Summer getaway packing

If you are going to be spending time in the sun pack a wide brimmed hat or cap to protect your neck, face and scalp. Wear long trousers to protect your legs, a long sleeved shirt to protect your arms and a pair of closed shoes for your feet. Similarly, don’t forget those stylish sunglasses, sunscreen and always seek refuge under a shade of a tree or that quirky pink umbrella you have.

I think you’re certainly set for the summer in Namibia, so enjoy it!
