When to Book Your Kruger Safari
Peak Dry Season

The classic safari season. Sparse vegetation and animals concentrating around waterholes make this the prime window for Big Five sightings on a Kruger day safari.
Shoulder Season
April & October
Pleasant temperatures, good game viewing and quieter park roads. An excellent value time to enjoy a private full or half-day Kruger game drive.
Green Season
November – March
Lush landscapes, newborn animals and dramatic skies. A beautiful time for photography and birding, with afternoon thunderstorms part of the experience.
