| when to travel to south
africa ... |
|
| South Africa is an all
year round destination. However there are certain regions that are more
popular at different times: |
|
»
|
The northern
regions are good destinations in the winter months as game viewing is at
its best and the temperatures are very mild (maximum 20-23ºC). There
is very little winter rainfall in the north. |
|
»
|
The southern regions are
summer destinations with low summer rainfall and temperatures reaching
28-30ºC or higher on beautiful days. |
|
»
|
Namaqualand in the Western
and Northern Cape Provinces becomes a floral masterpiece in spring (mid-August
to mid-September), when the desert-like terrain is transformed into a carpet
of flowers and draws thousands of visitors. |
|
»
|
The warm waters of the
east coast make for almost year-round swimming. |
|
»
|
Winter is mild, except
in the highest parts of the country. |
|
»
|
South Africans tend to
take their annual holidays in summer and this causes tourist destinations
to be overcrowded from mid-December to late January, as well as during
the other school holidays (check these dates with your travel agent). |
