Weather in May - Capetown & Garden Route
Can anyone advise on the likely weather conditions during May in
Capetown area. Also along the Capetown to Port Elizabeth route. I know it is getting into the early winter, but is it a good time to visit these areas. Also thinking of visiting the Shamwari Game Reserve during this holiday. TIA, Ned |
Weather in May - Capetown & Garden Route
Hi Ned,
As you said, it's early winter in South Africa at that time of year, and winter in the Cape means it's the rainy season. There is no predicting when the rain will start. I lived in Cape Town for 9 years, and consider March to be the best month, as there's less wind, cooler weather, and the rain hasn't started yet. May is not too far into the winter, so you'll probably have fine weather, but there are no guarantees. Shamwari is a very popular Game reserve, and very convenient for the Garden Route. Are you joining a tour group, or doing self-drive? If you need any assistance with bookings, I'll be more than willing to help you.

Dear Ned
As I can see from previous replies, they agree with what I am about to tell you. The weather in Cape Town and along the Garden Route can be very unpredictable. Even as a local I make sure that I have clothes for all seasons available. The weather is generally cooler in May, but is still very pleasent. As a general piece of advise, bring clothing for all seasons, you will experiance lots of variation along the route. Let me know if you need any further advise I hope you enjoy your holiday.
