Best Time to Go On South Africa Tour

The best time to go on a South Africa trip is all around the year as each season offers distinct advantages and unique experiences.

1 Peak season: November to February is the peak season in South Africa with pleasant weather and very little rainfall. The dry and sunny weather makes it perfect for browsing the outdoor markets, hiking, and beach hopping. Many festivals are celebrated during this time of the year such as the Johannesburg International Mozart Festival and Cape Town Minstrel Carnival attracting a huge crowd.

2 Shoulder season: September, October, April and May mark the shoulder season in South Africa. During these months the days are dry and warm and the nights are a bit chilly. This season is considered the best for wildlife watching as post rains the water sources become the gathering spots of animals. Also, Johannesburg hosts the Arts Alive Festival every September lasting for 10 days.

3 Waning season: August, June, and July mark the waning season in South Africa with chilly weather and unpredictable rainfall. Since the crowd is less during this time you can get great deals on flights and accommodation. July is the best month for whale watching as they migrate in large numbers to the African coast to give birth to their young.
