When Is The Best Time To Go on Safari?
Where and when should you go to Africa? So many things to see and do; you don’t want to miss a thing! Tett Safaris can ensure your safari is everything you dreamed of, and we take care of all the things you need to consider while you are planning your journey. Weather and game sightings change throughout the year, and we have our finger on the pulse so we can provide you with the safari of your dreams.
East Africa game viewing is wonderful year-round, but we know that April, May, and November are peak rainfall months. Southern Africa is also a destination that is a year-round option, but the Green Season (Dec-Mar) does tend to have seasonal afternoon rain showers. Yet rates in the rainy season (often called the Green Season) are lower, animals are having their babies, and lighting is very dramatic, creating incredible photographic opportunities with fewer tourists. If you don’t like the heat, you might want to avoid October to March, where temps are likely to be in the 90’s plus. June and July do have pleasant daytime temperatures, but evenings in Southern Africa can dip in the 40’s. This is where customizing your trip really gets into your personal taste: do you mind the outdoor mist of a morning shower? Can you tolerate the hot temperatures on a game drive or do you prefer a temperate climate? Tett Safaris personnel know Africa inside and out, so we are happy to steer you into the perfect weather choice for your particular safari.
