South Africa is a year-round destination. Seasons are the opposite to those in the UK with the hottest months from November to March (summer), and the coolest June to September (winter).
The temperature does vary across the country. The Western Cape including Cape Town and the Garden Route has a mediterranean climate with most rainfall in winter and plenty of sunshine and hot weather in summer. To the East of South Africa, including the Kruger, there tends to be sunshine year round. The summer is hot with short sharp rains and temperatues averaging 24°C. Winters are sunny and dry with temperatues averaging 19°C. Kwa-Zulu Natal has a sub-tropical climate with plenty of sunshine year round and temperatures averaging 23°C.
Self drive holidays along the garden route and in Kwa-Zulu Natal can be done throughout the year. Southern-Right whales can be seen off the Cape coasts from mid June to October, and humpback whales from May to December. Game-viewing in the Kruger is best between May & September when waterholes are the main source of water for the animals.

The honeymoon was fantastic. The best experience. Everything went to plan no problems. The Cape Town car hire was a fantastic recommendation that meant we got to go everywhere. Garonga was just perfect. Accommodation outstanding and Food and service 5*. The highlight…. an encounter with a leopard on safari one morning, got the heart pumping slightly. Thanks for putting it together for us.
This was a holiday of a lifetime. Apart from the financial investment, we invested a lot of hope in it. It did not disappoint – everything worked from beginning to end. James designed an excellent itinerary which fully catered for our needs. Satisfying an age range 15-51 is no mean feat and all 6 of us had a great time.
We had a wonderful time – everything went well. Great time to go – schools were back so most of the time everywhere was quiet….driving easy and I’d forgotten they drive on the same side as we do! Thanks for putting together a great itinerary – we did lots of walking (forests and beach), canoeing, wine drinking, sight seeing …the Garden Route is such a wonderful part of the country!
Her suggestions were amazing, our expectations were pretty high to begin with, but were massively exceeded in each place without exception. Each transfer went off without a hitch, and she’d primed each hotel that it was an anniversary celebration and we were greeted with champagne at every one of them, one of them even made us a cake!
