Expected weather conditions for February 19 – March 6, 2025:
In most parts of the country, average daylight temperatures are between 65 – 95 °F. Higher-altitude locales, such as the capital of Windhoek, get a bit cooler, and desert temperatures drop overnight to as low 55-60°F. The Namibian coast is always cooler than inland, and winters are particularly foggy along the Skeleton Coast. Bring warm clothes, early mornings can be cold.

Laundry
Most lodges and guesthouses have laundry facilities. Some properties charge a nominal fee for this (some do it for free). As laundry in lodges is generally done by hand, it is better you wash your underwear yourself.
Luggage
My recommendations are that you take one soft bag per person. Hard shell suitcases are difficult to store and take up too much space. Try to restrict yourself to a maximum of one 35 lbs bag per person, which should be more than adequate.
Remember not to pack any items of value or any medications in your checked-in luggage, always out these on your carry-on luggage. The same applies to your money and all your documents.
