BEST TIME TO GO

Best Time: May to October

The dry season brings exceptional Big Five sightings in Sabi Sand, as wildlife gathers at waterholes. Cool mornings and clear skies make game drives unforgettable. Benguerra’s calm, crystal-clear waters are ideal for diving and dhow sailing. Cape Town’s autumn offers scenic coastal drives, wine tastings, and fewer crowds.

Good Time: November, December and April

Cape Town’s warm summer days are perfect for beaches, hikes, and alfresco dining. Sabi Sand’s lush green season welcomes newborn wildlife and migratory birds, though thicker vegetation can make sightings less predictable. Benguerra stays tropical, with occasional showers refreshing the landscape.

Mixed: January to March

Cape Town experiences hotter days with occasional strong winds, but beaches and vineyards remain inviting. Sabi Sand’s green season is lush and full of new life, though wildlife can be harder to spot in denser vegetation. Benguerra experiences its wettest months, with higher humidity and rougher seas occasionally limiting marine activities. While some days are sunny, this period is less predictable for a seamless luxury journey
