The best time to visit South Africa depends on what you're hoping to see.
The dry winter months in the Kruger region, from May to September, make wildlife easier to spot as animals gather around water sources and vegetation becomes thinner.
The summer season in the Cape, from November to March, is the perfect time for visiting the beaches, hiking Table Mountain and exploring the city and Winelands in beautiful, sunny weather.
August to October is perfect for whale watching in Hermanus.
One season isn't better than the other, they're just different.
That's why we plan trips around your priorities, not a generic calendar.
The best safari isn't necessarily during peak season; It's the one that matches the experience you're looking for.
