Best Time To Visit

Kruger National Park is a year round destination. However, the dry season is the best time to visit this Park for better visibility and wildlife spotting.

Winter Season (June to August)

This is the beginning of the dry season and the rainfall is relatively less. This is the time when the vegetation gets a little sparse and it is a lot better for wildlife spotting. The average temperature around this time hovers around 9°C - 27°C.

Spring Season (Sep - Oct)

This is the time when the Park is at its driest and vegetation is sparse. Water becomes a little scarce during this time and most of the animals can be seen moving towards the waterholes to quench their thirst. Average temperature ranges between 16°C - 30°C during this time.

Summer Season (Nov - Mar)

November and December the rains are back and the vegetation are growing lush and green. When the vegetation grows thicker then spotting animals becomes a little difficult. This is also the time when you can get a glimpse of the animals with their young ones. The temperature is around 19°C - 31°C.

Autumn (April - May)

In April, the rain starts to subside and the dry season starts to set in. Most of the vegetation is getting a brown hue with the weather changing. The temperatures start to drop around 16°C - 29°C.
