Frequently Asked Questions
Everything guests commonly ask before booking a horseback safari with Namibia Horse Safaris — experience level, inclusions, timing, routes, and how to book.
What is the best time for a horse safari in Namibia?
The best time is April to October, the dry season, when temperatures are mild, skies are clear, and wildlife gathers around waterholes for more frequent sightings.

A mix of Appaloosa, Arabian, Boerperd, Namib desert horses, Paint horses, and Quarter horses — chosen for stamina and suitability to desert terrain.
