WHATS THE BEST TIME FOR AN AFRICAN SAFARI?

A month-to-month guide

Planning a safari in Africa? One of the most important decisions is choosing the right time to visit. Different seasons bring unique wildlife experiences, from the Great Migration in East Africa to optimal game viewing in Southern Africa’s dry season. This guide breaks down the best times to visit Africa for a safari, month by month in easy to understand "bite-sized" bits of safari information.

APRIL to JUNE

Shoulder Season and Fewer Tourists
Excellent value as rates tend to be cheaper at this time of year, transitioning landscapes as things slowly change from emerald to more dried out, and fewer visitors.
Zambia’s South Luangwa, Botswana’s Moremi Game Reserve, Namibia’s Etosha.
The rains subside, making it easier to spot wildlife as vegetation thins and fewer tourists mean a more exclusive and relaxed experience.
