If going on safari, the best time to visit South Africa is from May to October, prime game-viewing months as the animals tend to congregate around water sources and are easier to see in the dry season's thinner vegetation. If going on a beach vacation, the best time to visit South Africa is during summer, keeping in mind that the country is in the Southern Hemisphere and summer runs from December to March. Winter in South Africa runs from June through August.
