South Africa safaris are available year-round. Game viewing in the north is best enjoyed during the dry winter from May through August, when temperatures are mild, vegetation is sparse and animals gather at water sources. Though most of the country experiences dry conditions during the winter, Cape Town and the surrounding areas are rainy from May through August. Peak travel in the country's southern regions is during the summer months from October to March. Whales can be seen along Cape Town's coastline from July through November.
