When is the best time to travel to South Africa?
Due to South Africa’s favorable climate, it is great to visit South Africa all year round! We have a mostly temperate climate, with lovely warm sunny days most of the year. As Southern Hemisphere seasons are the reverse of those in the North, winter peaks over June and July and summer over December and January in South Africa. Temperatures in winter generally range from 15-25 degrees centigrade. The days are warm but the evenings get very chilly! Temperatures in summer generally range from 25-35 degrees centigrade. Summer days are very hot with cooler nights. As with all things there is a trade off, expect to queue for major attractions during the summer, and be prepared for the odd storm during the winter. Whatever time of year you arrive, you can be sure to find a wonderful variety of activities and attractions available to you, together with dramatic sunsets, great food and wonderful South African hospitality!
