Best Time To Visit

The Best Time to Visit the Eastern Cape is from May to October during the dry season. This period is ideal for wildlife viewing, as animals tend to congregate around water sources, making them easier to spot. The weather is also cooler and more comfortable for outdoor activities like hiking and exploring the beaches. The wet season, from November to April, is a great time to experience lush greenery and vibrant landscapes. It’s also the best time for whale watching, as the whales migrate along the coast. However, it can be rainy at times, and wildlife viewing might be more challenging due to dense vegetation.
