It is a common sentiment among Kruger enthusiasts that the best time of year to visit the park is between the months of May to October. This is because the eastern region of Southern Africa receives most of its rainfall during our warmer Summer months (October to March). During the dry winter season, most of the vegetation dies back which allows for greater visibility, and consequently, better game viewing.  Furthermore, the drier winter months force animals to congregate around available water sources.

​

Despite popular opinion, Kruger National Park is a year-round destination. The summer months bring migratory birds, wildflowers, reptiles, lush green vegetation, newly born animals, and tropical storms that dazzle the horizon with spectacular displays of thunder and lightning. It is our opinion that any month you choose to visit the park will undoubtedly create unexpected moments of joy and lasting safari memories. It's always a win-win.
