does beginning of March will be a good time to visit > is it rainy season ? can we see Big 5 at that time and how's the Victoria Fall can see if it clear > how's the weather any mosquito

1. March is a great time to visit. It's the end of the rainy season in the north and not an issue in Cape Town. 2. We can never guarantee seeing the Big 5, but in March as the wet season ends, wildlife tends to be on the move, so your chances are good! 3. February to May is the best time to see the falls, so March is perfect. 4. While we can't promise you won't encounter a mosquito or insect, we have never had a provlem or complaint. In March South Africa had lovely weather up to 80 during the day and into the 60s in the evenings.

Choosing Sky Vacations for our South Africa and Victoria Falls journey was the best decision. From Johannesburg to Cape Town, every element of the itinerary blended culture, history, and wildlife. The safari guides were outstanding, sharing knowledge that made each game drive unforgettable. Ending the trip at Victoria Falls was perfect, staying just steps from one of the world’s greatest natural wonders. What stood out most was Sky Vacations’ professionalism and care. For travelers searching for a luxury South Africa safari package with the added thrill of Victoria Falls, this is the ideal choice.

Honestly, our South Africa trip with Sky Vacations blew us away. We’ve done group tours before, but this felt completely personal. The safari was unforgettable, lions, rhinos, giraffes, you name it, we saw it! Then to wrap up with Victoria Falls… wow. Pictures don’t do it justice. Sky Vacations handled all the details so we could just enjoy ourselves. If you’re planning a South Africa holiday or want to add Victoria Falls to your bucket list, this is the way to do it.

Our South Africa and Victoria Falls adventure with Sky Vacations felt like something out of a dream. One day we were sipping wine in the Cape Winelands, the next we were on safari watching elephants cross the plains at sunset. The grand finale was standing in awe at Victoria Falls — the sheer power and beauty left us speechless. Everything was thoughtfully arranged, from transfers to hotels, making the trip stress-free. For anyone looking to combine a South Africa safari with the magic of Victoria Falls, I can’t recommend Sky Vacations enough.
