The Perfect Season
The best time to visit South Africa is during its dry winter months, from May to September, as the sparser vegetation and cooler, dry days in the north create superb conditions for viewing the Big Five on safari. For sun-seekers, the Cape region’s summer (November to February) offers hot, dry weather perfect for beaches and the Winelands.
With average daily high temperatures that vary significantly across its diverse regions, from the mild winter days in Cape Town (around ) to the hot summer safari plains (up to ), South Africa offers experiences for all tastes: from thrilling wildlife encounters in the bush to scenic coastal road trips, with a vibrant atmosphere that blends cosmopolitan cities, world-class cuisine, and unparalleled natural beauty in every season.
