When to go?

The Greater Kruger area in South Africa is a year-round destination. There are however two distinct seasons and the best time to visit may depend on your expectations and interests.

The winter season from May to October is the coolest and driest period – especially May through July – and the most comfortable time to go on safari.

The summer season begins with the onset of heavier rain in November, peaking in January, and ends in March. Temperatures average 30°C and days over 40° are not uncommon in mid-summer.

Best Time to Visit for Game Viewing

The May – October dry season is generally regarded as the best time for game viewing: the vegetation is thin and wildlife is often concentrated around waterholes and rivers.

During the summer (November to March) Antelope herds with young become targets for big cats and wild dogs, making this season a great time of year to witness predator/prey interaction.

Best Time to Visit for Bird Watching

Visitors in the May to October dry season will enjoy plenty of bird watching, with 250 resident species.

The rains November to March attract a large number of migratory species making the summer months the best time for bird watching.
