Winter in Botswana is the best time for a safari holiday, as the temperatures are warm and there is little to no rain. Average temperatures range 37-68вЏ (3-20вЊ), although this also varies according to city, for example the winters in Cape Town can be cold and windy, while in Durban they are mild and balmy.

Winters in South Africa (June to August) are cold and rainy, with harsh wind. Southern AfricaвЂ™s weather varies more than its northern neighbours, with considerable changes in temperature throughout the year. Further east, the savannahs in Kenya enjoy ideal weather all year long. Though areas like the Congo stay at around 80% humidity, summers are slightly drier and winters in Central Africa (July and August) are when the rainy season takes place.

In Central Africa, the climate is more consistent, with hot weather year-round. The rainy season in Northern Africa runs from September to May, and rainfall is usually heavy and brief. The coastal areas enjoy a more Mediterranean climate, with steady temperatures ranging 73-84вЏ (23-29вЊ). Morocco, Egypt and Tunisia are a holidaymakers paradise in spring and autumn, but are too hot for many in July and August. The climate of Northern Africa is dominated by the Sahara desert, which is noted for extreme temperature changes from hot days to near-freezing nights. AfricaвЂ™s climate is just as variable, ranging from desert to jungle, subtropical coastal bushland to mountains. The seasons and weather in Africa vary from north to south as the continent straddles the Equator, extending almost equally in each direction.
