When is the best time of year to go on an African Safari?

When is the best time of year to go on Safari in Africa? I want to go to either Kruger or the Serengeti?

  • its the #1 thing i want to do in my life, so I'm trying to plan it ASAP. I also want to go diving in a cage with a great white, which i know you can do in africa, but im not sure where. Is there a best time of year to do these type of activities? Any other recommendations, like which place to go or who to go with, is appreciated. Thanks everybody!

  • Answer:

    The best time for a Safari is during the winter months, June to August (inclusive) for three reasons, cooler, non rainy season so game must go to dams and drinking holes and the bush is generally much thinner and you can see deeper into it and increase your chances of game viewing. Both Kruger and the Serengeti are great options and you will not be disappointed with either. In terms of Shark cage diving, the Gansbaai region in the Cape, South Africa is probably your best option. Here is a link, there are others, scout the internet to get the best deal. http://www.sharkcagedive.com/

Swimming with sharks is only available in South Africa, specifically around Cape Town. Kruger is at its best in winter - from now until August. Start in Cape Town, meet the Great White Sharks, go up Table Mountain, visit wine farms in the Stellenbosch area, etc. Then fly to Kruger, meet the elephants, lions, rhinos, etc. Then go back home from Johannesburg. If you are interested in football (soccer), come in July next year then you can also see a few World Cup matches. But you will have to buy tickets and do the bookings asap!

i suppose winter is the best time for the park but as its the european summer it is very crowded.
