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...

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! Corné. www.amukela.com |

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.
