Pick Namibia 🇳🇦 if you're going in…

April, September, October, November

Sossusvlei sunrise photos require pre-dawn departure — stay inside the park gate.

Pick United Kingdom 🇬🇧 if you're going in…

Honestly, Namibia edges ahead in every month — but United Kingdom is still rewarding if it's already on your list.

May has long days and the fewest Scottish midges.

Months where both are equally good: January, February, March, May, June, July, August, December.
