When is the best time to visit Africa?
The best time to visit Africa depends on the region and the experience you're after. For wildlife safaris in places like Kenya, Tanzania, and South Africa, the dry season (June to October) offers the best viewing. If you’re heading to North Africa – including Egypt or Morocco – spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) offer pleasant weather for exploring cities and historic sites. For beach holidays in places like Zanzibar or Mauritius, the months between May and October are typically warm and dry. Each destination has its own seasonal highlights, so our travel experts can help you choose the perfect time for your adventure.
