BEST TIME TO TRAVEL
No wrong month.
Only the right one for your journey.
- MAY TO OCTOBER
Dry season in the south
The best months for South Africa, Botswana and Namibia. The bush is thin and animals gather at the waterholes. The Okavango flood peaks in the Delta from June to August, the finest time for mokoro trips. Nights can be cool in the desert and the Delta.
- JUNE TO OCTOBER
Migration and gorillas
From July to October the great herds of the migration move through the Masai Mara and across the Mara River. In Uganda June to September are dry and the trails to the gorillas easier, as are December to February.

Green season and Cape summer
Summer in Cape Town and the Winelands, green landscapes and many young animals in the reserves, plus lower prices in Botswana. April and November are the calmest months in the Seychelles, ideal for a week by the sea after your safari.
