African Safari FAQ

Time of year

Another major factor in planning your safari is what time of the year to travel. In Southern Africa there are 4 distinctive seasons, each with its pro's and con's for safari holidays. Winter is great for game viewing as the temperature is mild which makes driving around outside more pleasant. Summer however is better to combine with a beach holiday for example. Spring and autumn are the most popular months. Certain major activities only happen at certain times of the year, eg. the great migration, West coast wild flowers, the arrival of the water in the Okavango Delta etc.
