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

Any South Africa tour must include Cape Town, a coastal city with a Mediterranean climate. Ringed by mountains and bounded by the sea, its average maximum temperatures are 80 degrees F/27 degrees C in summer. In winter, it rains in Cape Town and there can be gale force winds. However it can also have beautiful sunny days. Lows are in the 40’s at night (7 degrees C) and in the 60s in the day (17 degrees C).
If you love sunshine, the beach scene, and warm days then Cape Town in summer is splendid. It is also the peak or high season when prices are highest. You can still enjoy Cape Town's long summer by visiting in November, late January, February and March. Visiting at these times avoids the peak season but still gives you great weather.

Visitors to Cape Town in winter will get great deals. Cape Town accommodation occupancy levels drop dramatically in winter. Though winter is when it rains in Cape Town, you do get times of glorious sunshine and it is a verdant city during this time. Winter is also the best time for whale watching and for seeing the great white sharks.

Winter also happens to be the best time for South African safaris. So there are great reasons to go on your South Africa tour during the South Africa winter (May to August).

In winter, you can also spend your time in the Cape Wine Lands where it is both warmer and drier then it is in Cape Town city itself. So don’t be too put off by Cape Town weather in winter, just come prepared to have layers of clothing.
