Best time to travel

South Africa can be visited all year round. The best time to travel depends on which regions you want to visit and what you want to do. For Namibia and Botswana we recommend the dry season, from May to November.

Climate

From subtropical to Mediterranean and desert-like: the climate in Southern Africa is different in every region. Summers are pleasantly warm, while winters are cool but mostly sunny. In the winter months, it cools down considerably at night in Namibia.

Recommendations

Southern Africa is great for a self-drive adventure. You will enjoy the ever-changing landscapes, and in many game parks you can search for wild animals yourself. To avoid mass tourism, we recommend lesser-known routes.

Known

Southern Africa is the perfect destination to explore with a rental car. A self-drive trip gives you the chance to stray from the tourist routes and stop wherever you want. To go on an African adventure without any inhibitions.

Everything was perfectly arranged, including routes, rental cars, flights and tips for on the way, recorded in a handy road book. This allowed us to fully relax and enjoy. I can recommend everyone to let Tessa put together your trip!”
