When To Go

Because southern Africa is such a large area, and each region's offerings change with the seasons, when you go may determine where you go.

The summer months are December to March, autumn is April to May, winter is June to August, and spring is September to November.

If you are an avid twitcher, the country is on the flight path of birds from the north in mid-October - November.

If it's the floral carpet spread of the Cape flower season that you wish to catch, visit the area when the winter rains are over at the first sign of spring, namely August and September.

If you are going on a game safari, the best time is July through September, when the visibility is best and it's birthing season.

The best time to visit South Africa? Well, just about all year round!
