Thinking about your next adventure to South Africa but unsure when to go? Let's help you decide! South Africa’s diverse climate offers two distinct weather regions: the northern part enjoys wet summers and dry winters, perfect for safaris during the dry winter months, while the southern part, including Cape Town, boasts dry summers and wet winters. For the best wildlife experiences, head north to the Kruger area in the cooler, dry winter months. If you're dreaming of sun-soaked days in Cape Town and the Garden Route, the dry summer months from are the ideal time to visit.
