Africa's climate is excellent, with relatively low rainfall
and blue skies throughout the year. Located below the equator,
seasons are reversed which makes it perfect for those wishing

from June - August, while this time in Mpumalanga is ideal to
go on safari as the weather is dry and daytime temperatures
are mild. Wet season in Kruger and its environs is from September
to March.
