What to expect
 
When to go
South Africa is pleasant, year-round. The summer months (November–February) are peak travel times, while spring (September–October) and fall (March–April) are also popular. Your interest in a specific activity can be the deciding factor, however. Want to whale watch? Go in winter. Thinking game watching? Go May–August.
