Luxury Safaris

The best time depends on your preferences. If you want to see the lush greenery and enjoy bird watching, the summer months (November to March) are ideal, although it can be hot and humid. For game viewing and cooler weather, winter (May to September) is best. Temperatures during summer range from 25°C to 35°C (77°F to 95°F), while winter temperatures range from 10°C to 25°C (50°F to 77°F).
