Crocodile River Safaris operates Safaris in the Kruger National Park, a Big 5 area. Private Luxury Safari Lodge accommodation is situated in the Marloth Park conservancy, near to Komatipoort and Malelane in the Mpumalanga district of South Africa where the climate is ideal for vacations.
General Climate
The geographical position of South Africa in the subtropical climate zone is not as noticeable on the Highveld (the central plateau), as in the Lowveld, where summer temperatures can climb above 40 degrees. Rainfall in the Lowveld averages 800 mm per annum, and falls mainly during the summer months. The rainy season usually starts in September and can last until May.The climate is more pleasant in the dry winter months of May, June, July and August, when the days are mild and the nights a little cool. This time of the year is also ideal for animal viewing in the Kruger National Park, because the shrubs and trees do not have so many leaves to obstruct the view. Since it hardly ever rains in winter, the game must come to the waterholes to drink in the mornings and afternoons and can easily be observed from the vehicle.
Some additional guidance is given here that you may like to take into consideration.
South Africa
Most of South Africa experiences moderate rainfall in summer. The temperatures in summer are generally pleasant but some of the lower lying areas may get hot. In winter the temperatures are good but on the highveld the nights can get a little cool.
