No wrong month.
Only the right one for your journey.

The dry season is considered the best time to travel for safaris in Kruger National Park and the surrounding private reserves. The vegetation is low and sparse, and wildlife gathers at the remaining waterholes. This makes sightings considerably easier, especially in the early morning and late afternoon.

For beach days and mild water temperatures on the Elephant Coast this period suits best, while the safari region becomes hotter and more humid, though many young animals are born during these months.

The shoulder months combine good safari conditions with pleasant days on the coast and suit everyone who would like to combine reserve and coastline in a single journey.
