A perfect time to visit
There is no perfect time to visit the African bushveld! The wilderness is truly spectacular all year round. Each season bringing with it special experiences which cannot be seen at other times of the year. The dry, winter season runs from May to September when temperatures drop to their lowest – still around 25 to 30 Degrees Celsius during the day- and the game viewing hours are thus easiest. The summer rains begin around October and as the rains approach so do the stunning migrant birds and imminent birthing lambs and foals. The bushveld transforms into a hive of activity for predators and young herbivores alike and a lush green hue embraces the whole park. Ideally each season should be visited and experienced, However Iconic Africa understand this is not always possible so please call us or send us and email so we can talk you through the best options tailored to your preferences.
