THINGS TO KNOW

In South Africa safaris are conducted throughout the year, however the best time would be between April and October. These months offer the most pleasant climate with temperatures ranging from 60' F to 95' F. Early mornings can be as low as 42' F but warm up to comfortable levels by mid morning.

 

The Lowveld is known to be a malaria area and we advise that you consult with your GP regarding malaria preventatives. Most safaris take place during our cooler months when mosquitoes are not prevalent.
