Timing is everything when planning an unforgettable African trip. From wildlife migrations to music festivals, Explore Africa Travel & Tours helps you catch Africa at her best.

East Africa

Best Time: June to October (dry season)

This is when the Great Migration happens in Kenya and Tanzania. Expect sunny skies, ideal wildlife viewing, and lush landscapes after the long rains. It’s also perfect for mountain trekking in Uganda or Rwanda.

Southern Africa

Best Time: May to September (dry winter)

Cooler temperatures mean fewer mosquitoes and animals gathering near water sources — perfect for safaris in Botswana, Namibia, and Zimbabwe. Cape Town’s wine regions are also stunning this time of year.

North Africa

Best Time: March to May, September to November

Avoid the summer heat and enjoy temperate conditions to explore Egypt’s pyramids, Tunisia’s ruins, or Morocco’s medinas. Cultural festivals are also in full swing.

West Africa

Best Time: November to March

This dry season lets you experience vibrant culture without humidity. Visit Senegal’s Dakar Art Biennale or Ghana’s coastal forts with clear skies and warm hospitality.

At Explore Africa Travel & Tours, our itineraries are crafted around peak experiences. From desert starscapes to rainforest birdcalls, we get you there at the right time.
