 A
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. |
