FAQs
What is the best time to go
All year round is good for Victoria Falls and the Greater Kruger National Park areas although for Cape Town, the main rainy season falls over the Winter months which is opposite to the destinations in the rest of the itinerary. June and July are considered the wettest months in Cape Town. Victoria Falls can be very humid in October and the main rainy season for both Victoria Falls and Greater Kruger Park falls between November and February. This period however, which is known as the “Green Season”, is also a wonderful time to visit and is the main birding season where migratory species can also be seen. In the Victoria Falls area, the ‘Low Water’ period runs between August and January and is at its lowest between November and early December. The best views of the falls at this time will be Devil’s Cataract which is permanent and on the Zimbabwean side of Victoria Falls.
What about malaria?
Only the safari and Victoria falls are considered malaria areas and we advise the use of anti-malarial prophylactics year-round. Consult your travel doctor for advice at least three weeks before departure to Africa.
Why visit Cape Town?
Cape Town is far from being “just another city” destination. One of the many reasons that travelers choose to visit Cape Town is its abundance of scenic beauty and natural attractions. The city itself is situated between the Atlantic Ocean and Table Mountain, one of the world’s Seven Wonders of Nature, however, attractions such as the scenic Cape Winelands, Cape Town’s numerous white sandy beaches, the Cape Peninsula and activities such as whale watching and shark diving, are all found within a 2 hour radius of Cape Town. In addition, Cape Town is also considered South Africa’s culinary capital and is a veritable foodie paradise.
What wildlife might we see?
The Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve is Southern Africa’s premier private safari destination and synonymous with frequent sightings of the elusive leopard. The reserve is a “Big 5” reserve however and so all the usual animals such as elephant and rhino will be seen too but we mention leopards as these magnificent creatures are usually shy and rarely seem.
