Best time to go to

In the Breede River Valley, spring begins in September and marks the end of winter. The winter time is the rainiest of the year and allows visitors to enjoy a roaring river and a lush landscape in spring and early summer. During spring and summer, the region boasts clear skies, hot days, and comfortable evenings. However, this is the busiest time of year for the Breede River Valley. If you’re looking for a good deal, March through May is a good time to visit as the weather is moderate and rain is rare while the region is also less busy!

What our travellers are saying

Because of the easy way we communicated with our Viatu expert, it felt like planning our holidays with a friend. It made it really flexible and perfectly suitable for our needs. The accommodations that he suggested were just wonderful and a perfect mix of everything we needed.

I'm very thankful for my first Viatu experience. The 3-week trip across Namibia combined incredible landscapes and nature, mindblowing eco-friendly lodges and utter peace of mind. The organisation and support of the Viatu team were spot-on - this is the way to impress. Thanks a lot!

We loved using the Viatu Trip Builder to design our holidays in South Africa. It was super easy and transparent. Our holidays were great and the few times we needed support, our consultant Benoit was very quick and helpful.
