When to Plan Your Trip
The best time to visit Numzaan Safaris depends on what kind of adventure you’re looking for. Hunting season in South Africa typically runs from March through October, with cooler, dry weather making it easier to track game and enjoy long days in the field. April through August are especially popular for plains game hunts and offer excellent visibility and comfortable conditions.
If you’re planning a photo safari or sightseeing trip, wildlife viewing is exceptional during the same dry months, when animals gather at water sources and are easier to spot. However, South Africa’s beauty shines year round, and the team can help plan trips during quieter seasons for a more private experience.
Whether you’re aiming for peak hunting, clear photography conditions, or a mix of both, Joe will work with Numzaan Safaris to choose the right window for your custom itinerary.
