Southern Africa in October

Africa's best authentic tailor-made safaris

Hiking in South Africa’s Drakensberg mountains on safari in South Africa is especially delightful in October, when the weather is mild and the mountains are lush and green.

October implies high heat and humidity, but if you can handle it, October safaris are regarded to be some of Zambia’s most dramatic Safaris. Because water and food are scarce, animals must gather close together. As tensions build, aggressive behavior is seen more frequently. Battles between and among species are incredibly exciting to see and photograph.
