Best time to visit South Africa
October to April. Cape Town and the Garden Route are warm and dry from October to April. Game viewing in Kruger is best in the dry winter, May to September, when animals gather at water; safaris run all year.

Prafull's notes
- Travel insurance is compulsory for visitors to South Africa.
- On safari, stay seated in the vehicle and keep your voice low near animals.
- Cape Town's weather changes fast; the Table Mountain cable car closes in strong wind.
- Tipping guides and drivers is customary, about 10 percent.
