MARCH – JUNE

Spring

A spring safari in Africa offers a perfectly timed escape. With cooler temps than the peak summer months and fewer crowds, it’s a more intimate, exclusive way to explore the wild. As the dry season wraps up, September to November delivers dramatic landscapes and some of the year’s best wildlife action. From Kenya and Tanzania to South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Namibia – this is safari season at its finest.

Plan my spring safari

JUNE – SEPTEMBER

Summer

While the Northern Hemisphere cools down, Africa’s summer comes alive – making it the perfect time to escape the cold and head south. Warm days, cool nights, and exceptional wildlife sightings await in destinations like South Africa, Kenya, and Tanzania. Whether it’s a festive family getaway or a luxury New Year’s escape, a Southern Africa safari in summer delivers adventure, connection, and world-class style under the African sun.

Plan my summer safari

SEPTEMBER – DECEMBER

Autumn

Visiting Africa in autumn is a breath of fresh air. In Southern Africa, the intense summer heat has lifted and the rains have cleared, revealing lush, green landscapes and cooler days. In East Africa, game viewing is exceptional as the Great Migration surges through the plains. With fewer travelers and dramatic scenery, April and May offer the perfect window for a luxury safari that feels both exclusive and alive.

Plan my autumn safari

DECEMBER – MARCH

Winter

June to August marks the dry season across much of Africa, while Southern Africa transitions into its cooler winter months, creating ideal conditions for some of the continent’s most exceptional wildlife viewing. With animals drawn to shrinking water sources, sightings are not only frequent but often spectacular. The lack of dense vegetation also boosts your chances of spotting elusive predators like leopards and wild African dogs.
