DURBAN
Imagine not having to share the sights with crowds of tourists and taking advantage in a drop in accommodation prices. Yup, we’re talking about exploring South Africa in Winter. Although each part of the country experiences vastly different winters, everywhere in South Africa is truly beautiful to travel during winter.
Icy winters are unheard of in Durban, a coastal city highly influenced by Afro-Indian culture. Pleasant temperatures, low humidity, little rainfall and fewer crowds makes this city a heavenly retreat for outdoor adventurists during the winter.
South Africa’s largest city, Johannesburg features many of the country’s historic, but sometimes overlooked landmarks and cultural events. Expect the city to host a variety of festivals during the winter months. Daytime temperatures are high enough to enjoy the outdoors event but make sure to bring warm clothes for chilly nights.
Go on a wildlife safari in Kruger National Park and discover the famous wildlife of South Africa.
The Kruger is one of the top destinations in South Africa for wildlife viewing on any day and winter is your best option if you want to increase your chances of spotting all the Big 5 on a Kruger safari. Lions, rhinos, elephants, cape buffalos and other animals are seen more frequently in the park during the cooler, drier winter months.
Picture it - roaring fireplaces and fantastic wines - taste some of the world’s best wines from the stunning wine estates and different terroirs that Stellenbosch and surrounds have to offer. Stellenbosch’s rustic countryside is capped with rows of vineyards and awe-inspiring peaks. Dreary winter days are spent snuggled up by the fireplace,sampling the tastiest wines and some of the best cuisine from local experts without the crowds.
Cape Town is a vibrant city with a mix of diverse cultures, landscapes and cuisines. Known for the iconic Table Mountain and its amazing beaches, Cape Town is one of South Africa’s most beautiful destinations. However, Cape Town weather can be quite unpredictable in winter with dropping temperatures, blustery winds and increased rainfall, but there’s still plenty to do despite the dreary weather!
Winter in South Africa brings along a lot of opportunities for enjoyable activities and fun-filled trips. Many destinations are still warm enough for outdoor adventures, while cultural events create a festive atmosphere. With comfortable temperatures and fewer crowds in the most popular sights, winter is a wonderful time to discover SA’s dramatic landscapes and unique history.
