Best Time to Visit South Africa

South Africa has the climactic and topographical diversity of a continent rolled into one country, so when you should go depends on what you plan as your major holiday activity. In southernmost tip of the Western Cape Cape Town, temperate Mediterranean climate ensures that one can even visit in the summer, between October and April. June and July, when the humidity is low, are ideal months to visit Durban and the coast. The best time for game viewing is during the drier period from April to September, when the vegetation is sparse and big game frequents waterholes.
