Kruger National Park in August
Great time to visit
Peak season continues with outstanding conditions. Expensive and crowded but the wildlife viewing justifies the premium pricing.
Weather
Still beautifully dry and sunny but mornings start warming up slightly. Days remain perfect with low humidity and endless blue skies. The tail end of the premium dry season.
