When is the best time to travel to Southern Africa?
Southern Africa is a year-round destination, as different regions are at their most spectacular at different times. It is generally winter in most of Southern Africa between May and September. These months are often popular for game viewing, as it is dry and the wildlife is much easier to see. It is also cooler – in summer, the temperature often reaches between 30 and 40C. However, in many countries, summer is the best time to visit beautiful beaches and coastal resorts. Summer often coincides with the rainy season, resulting in lush, green countryside and lovely scenery.
