Beyond the Blog: Frequently Asked Questions about Short Safaris in South Africa
South Africa enjoys a subtropical climate, making it a year-round safari destination. However, the dry season (April to October) offers the best opportunities for wildlife viewing as animals congregate around water sources. The summer months (November to March) can be hot and humid, but offer lush landscapes and the possibility of witnessing newborn animals.
Pack comfortable clothing in neutral colours suitable for warm weather. Long-sleeved shirts and pants are recommended for sun protection and to ward off insects. Don’t forget a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and insect repellent. Binoculars are a must-have for spotting wildlife from afar, and a camera with a zoom lens will help you capture those unforgettable moments.
Malaria is a risk in some parts of South Africa, so consult with your doctor about necessary vaccinations and antimalarial medication. It’s also important to stay hydrated, especially during the hot summer months. Always follow your guide’s instructions during game drives and remain inside the vehicle at all times.
