AFRICA GUIDE GODFREY NGOWI, EAST AFRICA
“I’ve been a naturalist guide for over 13 years and never stop enjoying meeting and showing our country to new and excited guests. My most memorable animal sighting was a buffalo hunt, Buffalos are formidable animals for which the lion
have a great respect. It eventually took seven lions to bring the old buffalo bull down. I also have a great admiration for cheetahs, their care for their young and skill in hunting”.

BEST TIME TO TRAVEL In general Southern Africa is split between wet and dry seasons. South Africa is an all year round destination with a pleasant climate throughout the year. The Garden Route can be ventured year round but to witness the marvel of the whale migration ensure you’re there between June and October.
In Botswana, summer (November to March) brings rain and high temperatures, whilst the winter (May to August) heralds the dry season, with little rainfall and warm days. The flood levels in the Delta are highest between March and September.
The best time to visit Zambia is between July and October, although the drier/ cooler months of May to August are also suitable. Victoria Falls are at their peak during February and April. Namibia is at its best from May to October, the summer (December to March) can be extremely hot.
For the beaches of Mozambique and Mauritius, May and November are best when both rainfall and temperatures are at their lowest.
Kenya and Tanzania are both year round destinations and will generally benefit from dry weather from June to October and mid December to mid March, with pleasantly warm temperatures. Safaris are best enjoyed from June to mid October and December to March, the latter generally being considered to be the most pleasant. The best time to see the wildebeest migration in the Masai Mara is between July and September.
Uganda has a more tropical climate, with the best time to visit being late December to late February (though hot) and June to September. The rainy seasons are from March to May and October to November.
Ethiopia is pleasant all year round; with temperatures in Addis averaging around 16°C, but the climate reflects its topography with the highlands generally being cooler. Most rains occur between mid June and mid September. Please be aware that Ethiopia’s historical circuit does reach high altitudes, around 3300 metres.
