Overview
Unlike in East Africa, the best safari time in South Africa falls in winter: May to September, when the dry season thins the bush and the animals are easier to find along watercourses. In Switzerland it is then spring or autumn, and the days in the reserve are cool and clear. South Africa combines safari with an infrastructure that makes many things easier. Credit cards are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants and supermarkets, and in many cities tap water is drinkable.
If you take a rental car, bear in mind that driving is on the left. The areas differ greatly. Kruger National Park is large and admits self-drivers as well as guided guests, Hluhluwe in KwaZulu-Natal is known as a protected area for rhinos, Addo in the Eastern Cape as a park with numerous elephants. If you want to combine wildlife and city, add Cape Town or Johannesburg to the trip.
Temperatures vary considerably by region, so layers belong in your luggage. Whether one area is a long stay or two stops are worthwhile is something you discuss at your leisure with Swiss Vibes on a video call.
