During the cooler winter months of June to August there is less lush vegetation and water is scarce, resulting in animals congregating at available water sources, making them easier to track down
Cape Town, The Winelands, Overberg and Garden Route

The summer months of December to February are typically warm and dry, bringing excitement to the Cape with vibrancy and many locals enjoying a festive atmosphere.

Winter is also a great time to go whale watching in the Cape, with the region frequented by Southern Right Whales between June and October
