Temperatures in the Kalahari can be unbearably hot at times during the summer months so travel during South Africa’s cooler seasons can be a great time to interact with the Kalahari Bushmen and to see the black-maned lions.
Another unique natural world experience that can only be seen during September is the stunning landscapes of the Namaqualand daisies. The wonderful colours of the daisies in bloom are breath-taking and are perfect for landscape photography.
If you’re thinking of combining your South Africa wildlife safari with some much needed rest and relaxation in the Indian Ocean islands, September can be a great time to travel as the humidity is slightly lower than the peak summer season but air and water temperatures are still very pleasant.
