Best Time to Travel
The best time for a wildlife safari in South Africa is during the dry season, from May to September. During these months, animals congregate around waterholes, making game viewing easier in places like Kruger National Park. The cooler temperatures also make it comfortable for safari adventures, though mornings and evenings can be chilly.
For Cape Town and the Garden Route, the ideal travel time is from November to March. The warm, sunny weather is perfect for enjoying the beaches, hiking, and outdoor activities. Summer is the peak season, offering lively festivals and events in both areas.
The Drakensberg Mountains are best visited in April-May and September-November when hiking trails are clear, and the weather is mild. For whale watching, plan to visit between June and November, and if you’re a wine lover, the February-April harvest season in the Winelands is the perfect time for vineyard tours and tastings.
