The best season to Travel
In Africa, we have distinct seasons, and we name them differently! Below I have split them into regions.
East, Central, and West Africa.
-
Wet Season (November to April) – not an ideal time to travel as there is a dry spell between January and February, when vegetation is dense and it is hard to see animals.
-
Dry Season (May to October) – highly recommended with low or no vegetation, so spotting wildlife is very easy.
Southern Africa
-
Dry Season (June to October) – highly recommended with low or no vegetation, so spotting wildlife is very easy.
-
Green Season (November to May) – not an ideal time to travel as there is a dry spell between January and February, when vegetation is dense and it is hard to see animals.
-
Low Season (January to March) – it depends on you, as it will still be raining, but there are really good deals available.
