May to October is the most popular safari season, these are the driest and coolest months of the year. The bush during this time is less dense and therefore the game viewing can sometimes seem effortless, movement is easily seen in the low golden grass. In these winter months, wildlife is drawn to the sparse water sources, however at Nambu the waters of the Olifant’s River flow continuously meaning life can always be found here.
October to April are considered the summer months and the off-peak season to safari travellers. However even though the temperatures may be considerably hotter and the rainfall much higher, the bushveld seems to flourish with life and the once golden grass transforms to a lush green. Exploring the region at this time of year offers a unique and exclusive safari experience.
The climate in the Kruger Lowveld brings the hot summer months between October and April when the rainfall is high, and so is the temperature, reaching over 40 degrees Celsius. The dry winter months begin in May and carry on until October/ November, during which time the weather is mild during the day with temperatures averaging mid- high 20s, while very cold in the evenings and early mornings.
