It's the peak tourist season, especially in coastal areas. However, some regions might experience occasional thunderstorms and higher humidity.

The eastern parts and Kruger National Park are also favorable during this time, as it's drier and less hot.

The Western Cape and Cape Town might experience more rainfall during this time, while the inland areas and wildlife reserves, such as Kruger National Park, have mild and dry winters. This season is great for game viewing as animals gather around water sources.
Spring (September to November): Spring is a beautiful time when the landscape rejuvenates with blooming flowers and greenery. It's a pleasant period for outdoor activities and exploring nature reserves. Whale watching along the coast, especially in Hermanus, becomes popular during this season.
