Adventure Vacations from the Experts
   

South Africa Season and ClimateA South Africa safari is possible any time of year since extremes in weather are tempered by maritime conditions at southerly latitudes. Each season offers a different game viewing experience. Spring and summer (September- February) are the rainy season that turns the bush green, lush and thick. Newborn animals are best spotted during this time. Autumn and winter (March-August) are dry months when the bush is less dense and water is more precious. This is prime season to quietly watch animals gather at the waterholes or along riverbanks. It is always advisable to take a warm jacket, as temperatures can get quite cold at night.

The eastern shores of the KwaZulu-Natal coast have a subtropical climate with warm humid weather year round. The winter months of June and July are ideal to visit this region, which is rich in marine and bird life and boasts some fabulous beaches. Along the Garden Route and around Cape Town, the weather is famous for being unpredictable throughout the year.
