DELRAY BEACH, FL, March 15, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- South Africa is renowned for its nearly eternal
sunshine, a subtropical coastal playground
boasting warm temperatures and utopian beaches. The seasons here
run counter to those in the northern hemisphere, and while there is
never a "bad" time to visit it is vitally important to consider the
weather when planning a South African adventure. The best
time to travel depends entirely on your desired activities
- and if you are seeking of a variety of outdoor
activities, spring is a wonderful time to travel.
Spring in South Africa typically runs from September to
November and is characterized by mild, comfortable
temperatures and breathtakingly beautiful flora. The Cape
provinces are spectacular this time of year, as thousands
of vibrant wildflowers come together to form an iridescent carpet
of colors. In fact, this sight is so spectacular that many
native South Africans make an annual pilgrimage to the Western and
Northern Capes to experience this phenomenon year after year.
Spring is a fantastic season for a safari. With
the arrival of the rains, the landscape is transformed and is both
a photographer's fantasy and a birdwatcher's delight. Spring is the
best time to spot whales off the Cape's coast and
it also offers plenty of opportunities to spot newborn animals
learning their place in the exquisite dance between
predator and prey.
