time to visit ? When best to see the animals on a mini safari...when

The best time for safari in Kruger is in winter (May to September)
when the grass is shorter, and the weather is cooler. The problem is
that this is a lousy time of the year to visit the Cape because it's
rainy and wet.

Overall, the best times would probably be from September to end
November, and then March to May.

Robertson Winery is well known, and it is safe for two women to drive
there.

You shouldn't miss Kruger. Cape Town is very pleasant at the right
time of the year. Depending on your interests, Johannesburg could be
very attractive as well.

What are your interests: lazy beaches, adventure sports, good food,
gambling, clubs, wildlife, museums, amusement parks, ethnic
experiences, geology, history etc. There's something for everyone
here...

Marc

The best time to see animals can also differ. In the winter (july and
august) the bush is dry, and you can see far. In december a lot of animals
give birth (impala, zebra, wildebeest etc.) which is also very nice to see.
Don't miss the Kruger Park! Driving in SA is probably as safe as driving in
the USA, Germany, Australia etc. As long as you keep normal safety
precautions. You are not going to SA to visit downton Jo'burg I suppose?

Good luck with your preparations!

Anytime, pretty much anytime, anytime except the rainy season (November
through March), depends on how much time and money you have...its a big
country, yes--very, no, couldn't say.

Pleasure,
