    Are you sold out September and October? Is November a bad month or is August better?

    • CosmosOperator•Written March 2023

      The best time to visit South Africa is between June and October (dry season), which bring perfect weather conditions for wildlife viewing. It can be rainy from November to February, but this is the best time to travel for birding, and temperatures remain warm at 22°C to 33°C. August might be the better option, however, November would work as well!
