Please give us suggestions as to the best months to visit the Park. We live in Arizona so we would love to be gone during our hot months June-Sept. Thanks

June to August is the perfect time, there are many reasons for that, but the main is that it is the dry season and not too hot.
I listen to my South African friend advice and I am just back from a great holiday last July. You can check my own new page dedicated to the Kruger Park.

Thanks - ...We are also planning to spend a week in Cape Town after Kruger Park and I understand July is a raining season in Cape Town. So does anyone know a balance for both areas?

Thanks again

Hi, we are visiting kruger for our third time in 3 weeks time (can't wait)and like you we also plan to spend a week in the Cape and a week in Natal so we try to edge our bets between the weather and the best time for game spotting.

I would say that if you keep to the middle and south of the park you will see plenty of wildlife at close quarters and you will not get the worse of the weather.

Hope you have a great visit and if i can offer any other places you must see whilst you there please do not hesitate to ask.

We just got back from Jo'berg / Victoria Falls / Kruger / Capetown, and late September worked for us. It was still cool in Kruger, and still dry so the animals congregated at water as advertized. Kruger was spectacular -- animals virtually on the road all over the place.
Cape Town was unseasonably cool (or so the locals told us), but it was nice and sunny 5 days out of our 6. The rainy day we used for wine tasting.
Victoria Falls was low-water, so not as spectacular, but then again I understand that in high water the mist obscures the view anyway. Perhaps some day we'll make it back to Vic Falls in the high water season and see the difference. WE enjoyed the low-water Vic Falls very much and I'd recommend a September trip as a good all=around compromise.
