Best time to go to Eastern Cape Game Reserves

Acceptable
The Eastern Cape has a Goldilocks climate – not too hot, not too cold – with plenty of sunshine, making it a prime year-round destination. The best time to visit for wildlife viewing is in the dry winter season from May to September as the foliage is sparse and animals flock to water sources. The winter nights can be very cold, so you will need your fleece and beanie. Between October and April, reserves are busier owing to the warm weather. You can also enjoy an abundance of baby animals, spring flowers and migratory birds during this period.
Rooms
Explorer Tent
The 3 en-suite raised Explorer Tents are comfortably fitted with 2 single beds that can be converted into a king-size bed, a cupboard and complimentary amenities such as shower products. Each tent has a private verandah with deck chairs overlooking the surrounding wilderness and animal passersby.
