Saison sèche

May to October

The dry season is ideal for wildlife observation in the Greater Kruger. The vegetation clears, offering excellent visibility of the Big Five and hunting predators. Waterholes become strategic places where elephants, buffalo and antelope congregate, attracting lions and leopards. This is an ideal time for safaris, with clear skies and spectacular sunsets.

Rainy season

November to April

The first rains transform the landscape, repainting the savannah in brilliant green and filling the rivers and waterholes. This marks the birthing season, attracting predators on the prowl and the arrival of many migratory birds. The wildlife is more dispersed, but safaris remain fascinating, with intense activity among the young animals. For photographers, the soft light and stormy skies offer striking contrasts.
