September - October (late spring) is the best time for game viewing and safaris. November - February (summer) is your chance to embrace the beautiful hot and dry weather and a visit to South Africa’s stunning beaches is a must. End of February - April (autumn) consists of minimal rainfall, sunny days and balmy nights, making it a beautiful time to explore.
