East trip to South Africa in 25 days It will allow us to finally visit one of the countries that we most wanted to know, in addition to putting a perfect final icing, which will be to make a safari for free, for several days, in the incredible Kruger National Park.
Taking into account the extension of the country and being impossible to visit it in full, after much appreciation, in the end we have decided to take a route that will take us through the most essential places to see in South Africa, which we will travel in two stages, both with a car rental.
Also known as Republic of South Africa or rainbow nationDue to the incredible diversity of cultures that it hosts, this country in southern Africa limits territory with Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe, as well as with Mozambique and Swaziland and is bathed by the Atlantic and Indian oceans.

Although any time is good to travel to South Africa, it is convenient to take into account certain factors, in order to decide which is the best time to travel, since depending on your tastes or the activities you want to do, it will be more convenient to come at a time of year or other
- High Season: This season includes the months of December to March, although Christmas and Easter are the times when prices soar.
If you want to travel on these dates, you should book your accommodation well in advance, especially in national parks such as the Kruger, taking into account that there are even people who do it one year in advance.
Despite being one of the busiest times of the year, the weather is not always the most favorable, since they are usually the wettest months of the year.
- Mid Season: The months of April and May, in addition to October and November, are the months that are included in the middle season in South Africa, being suitable for wildlife observation, since it is the time when the first and the first begin Autumn and with them also the good weather typical of these dates.
- Low Season: From June to September winter arrives in South Africa and with it the low season in the country, at which time the prices are cheaper and the ideal time for wildlife observation also begins.
Although the weather is usually optimal, keep in mind that it is usually a rainy season in the Cape Town area.
If your interest in traveling to South Africa is unique or especially for wildlife, there are other factors that you must take into account to make your trip as complete as possible.
If you want to enjoy a safari, although animals are present throughout the year, the best time to do it is winter, at which time there is less vegetation, so it is much easier to see them.
If what you want is to see the incredible southern whales, typical of the South African coast, you should travel to South Africa between the months of June to December, at which time it is not strange to see them from the coast itself.
Travel to South Africa in 25 days
Although many people make the trip to South Africa in an organized way, it is perfectly feasible to make this trip for free, including safaris through natural parks, which you can do with your own car.
If you choose this option, for us the most recommended, the most suitable is to rent a car in South Africa, since this will allow you to have total freedom of movement and schedules, making your trip much more enjoyable and above all, the great experience of making The safaris for free.
Taking all these factors into account, for a first trip to South Africa, which includes the most tourist places in the country, we would recommend traveling a minimum of 3 weeks, time that will allow you, in addition to making a wide route through the country, spend several days in the Kruger, as final icing on the cake.
In case of not having this time, in two weeks it is also feasible to make a complete route through the country, dedicating less days to the Kruger, 3 or 4 days, and focusing on the most tourist areas.
