When to Go?

South Africa as a travel destination is exceptional all year round. Namibia is a year round scenic destination with the dry months of September and October peak times for game viewing. Kenya and Tanzania too have outstanding game viewing and spectacular scenery year round. East Africa’s greatest attraction is the annual wildebeest migration between the Serengeti and the Masai Mara (June – September). Botswana is best visited between May and October, whilst Zambian wildlife is best viewed between April and November.
