"I never knew of a morning in Africa
when I woke that I was not happy"
Ernest Hemingway

Obviously there are �peak seasons� and �low seasons� for South Africa tours and safaris and for all African safari destinations.
And the time of year you visit will determine the availability of deals and how much you will pay.

The key is to go when demand is low and game viewing is good to excellent. This is true for African animal safaris anywhere in Africa. This guide will help you find these times and countries. The below guides should help you have a great African animal safari no matter when you opt to go.

Just for background -- We�ve taken more than 80 African safaris since 1993.

They have been during all times of year � low season as well as peak season. And we have taken African island vacations � to places like Zanzibar and Mozambique�s idyllic tropical islands � in off season as well.

My wife is a local South African & as a family we�ve lived in South Africa since �93. This has given us the opportunity to take many Africa safaris in the off season. Almost always during our off season safaris, we have enjoyed both very good weather & game viewing.
