Best Time To Visit

The Best Time to Visit Mpumalanga is during the dry winter months, from May to September. This period offers cooler temperatures and clear skies, making it perfect for wildlife viewing, especially in Kruger National Park. Animals tend to gather around water sources, and the thinner vegetation makes spotting wildlife easier. The dry season also offers more comfortable conditions for safaris and photography. While the wet season (November to April) brings lush vegetation and ideal conditions for birdwatching, it can make wildlife sightings more challenging due to the thicker foliage.
