  SOUTH AFRICA - MAP & CLIMATE


Map of South Africa



This is a land of contrasts - a Mediterranean climate with winter rainfall is the pattern in the Southwestern Cape (May to August). The remainder of the country enjoys mostly warm sunny weather throughout the year, with occasional showers of rain falling in the summer months (September to April).

Because of the mildness of our weather and the length of autumn and spring, South Africa is an excellent vacation destination, with mostly warm bright days and mild nights in the summer months. Nights can be cold in winter.
