Our Advice for September

Often considered with August, September is among the two finest months to visit Africa. Visitors to the continent will discover that visiting anyplace in ‘Safari Africa’ is exceptional for the pure concentration of wildlife to be found in any of the parks. Almost everything has really excellent quality safas, and it starts to get quite challenging to decide where to go! In Rwanda, the long dry season finishes about mid-September. As you leave winter, the Indian Ocean will see warming temperatures.

Tanzanian

Tanzania rewards you for options. At this time of year, the Serengeti National Park is a major draw since river crossings occur regularly in the Lamai/Kogatende northern section of the park, the Great Migration being the main emphasis. Tarangire is also the centre of the elephant migration for the region. A well-liked and excellent plan is to combine these two migrations. The emphasis of the area’s game and great choices for a less commercial safari than the northern parks can give is Nyerere (previously Selous), Ruaha and Katavi.

The Republic of South Africa

Being in South Africa in September is just as great. Particularly the north of the nation promises quite wonderful weather as well as great Kruger National Park safaris. The further south you go, the less beautiful the weather gets, although Cape Town has its own attraction at any time of year, and this month also marks the beginning of the whale migration down on the Garden Route. All things considered, this is a wonderful season to travel.

The country of Botswana

The prime seasons for game viewing in September are when Botswana’s most renowned parks are found. At this time of year, the Okavango, Moremi, Chobe and the Linyanti region are really world class. No other area in Africa at any time of year matches the concentration of elephants around the Chobe and Linyanti region. The whole Delta seems remarkable as the Okavango is under flood. The wildlife has mostly departed the Pans and the Kalahari completely as this northern section of the country is at its peak; going to these locations starts to be unwise if you are looking for superb game viewing.

Zambian

September in Zambia is also at its peak travel season. At its peak, Africa’s greatest walking destination, the Luangwa, offers outstanding walking safari and standard game drive in the south park; only walking in North Luangwa. At this time of year, the Lower Zambezi is a remarkable park, a true favourite at the Yellow Zebra office. Kafue is another park to think about for September vacations.

The country of Kenya

One of the finest times to witness the Great Migration in the Maasai Mara is September in Kenya. At this time of year, the quieter north of the nation—Matthews Range, Laikipia, Lewa and Samburu—is also quite excellent for game viewing.

Zimbabwe

September is ideal for Zimbabwe since the primary holiday season is finished and tourist numbers are significantly lower. Finding animals near the more permanent water sources is much easier as the dry season has made water more limited.

Mauritius,

With better weather than July and August, September is an excellent season to visit Mauritius. Next month, Mauritius enters its summer and begins to become quite hot and humid by year’s end.

Seychelles

With less rain and windier conditions than the hot months at the end of the year, the Seychelles are in their last month of the dry season.

Namibian

September is great in Namibia. Game watching in Etosha is at its best, thus the country’s best safari spot would be a wonderful complement to any schedule here. With lovely temps and open skies, trips out to the desert and up the Skeleton Coast are rather gratifying.

Mozambique

Though still mild at night, Mozambique is in its peak season with daytime temperatures beginning to soar. Visitor numbers are down because most summer vacations expire, making this a great time to travel the nation.

The country of Rwanda

Although September is still regarded dry season in Rwanda, rainfall is gradually rising in comparison to July and August especially. Still, gorilla trekking is quite outstanding. The erratic weather patterns surrounding Volcanoes National Park make it difficult to forecast whether or not rain will fall, though.
