FAQs about your South Africa tour

  • When is the best time to tour South Africa?

    The timing of your holiday will depend on what you want to get out of it – and we want to ensure you book an adventure that will stay with you forever. For example, springtime in the UK is usually best for our South Africa safari tours as the crowds have died down and the weather is warm and dry. If you're a sunworshipper, the UK's winter (South Africa's summer) is the ideal time to travel, while July and August are the prime whale-watching months in Hermanus.
