Things to Look Out For
The hemisphere is upside down
South Africa's seasons run opposite to home. December and January are high summer, June and July are winter. For Cape Town and the Garden Route, the November-to-March summer is the beach-and-wine window. For Kruger and the safari reserves it flips: the May-to-September dry winter is far better game viewing, when the bush thins and animals crowd the waterholes. A trip doing both compromises on one.
Tipping and the car guards
Tipping is woven into the economy here. Ten to fifteen percent in restaurants, and the orange-bibbed 'car guards' who watch your parked car expect a few rand when you return. Keep a pocket of coins and small notes. It feels constant at first; it's how a lot of people earn, and the sums are small.
The dawn game drive
The animals move at the edges of the day, so the good drives leave camp before sunrise and again in the late afternoon. Cold, dark, and worth every minute as the bush wakes up. Layer up; an open vehicle at 6am in winter is genuinely freezing even when noon hits the high twenties. The midday hours are for the pool and a nap.

Plan Your Timing
When to Go
South Africa rewards different months for different things, because the seasons are southern-hemisphere flipped. The Cape and the Garden Route are at their best in the warm, dry summer from November to March. The big-game reserves. Kruger and the private lodges. View best in the dry winter from May to September, when thin bush and busy waterholes bring the animals into the open. April, May, September and October are the broad shoulder months that balance both. The deep summer can be hot and afternoon-stormy inland.
