Kruger National Park in February
Not the best time
The wettest month with challenging conditions. Great for bird watching and photography of dramatic skies, but expect muddy roads and canceled activities.
Weather
Still swelteringly hot with frequent afternoon downpours. February often brings the heaviest rains of the year, with some roads becoming impassable. Humidity stays brutal throughout the day.
