Asked on June 20th, 2023would this date be the dry season??? Do you go on a Safari and see animals???
- Explore!Operator•Written June 2023
South Africa welcomes most of its visitors during the summer months, from November to March, given its location in the southern hemisphere. This is the season when beaches are most packed, and the cities are most alive. Visit the great game reserves of South Africa and Eswatini. Search for the Big Five, learn about the history of the Zulu battlefields, explore the wetlands of St Lucia and discover the last absolute monarchy in Africa.
