Cape Town summer travel advice

If you’re an avid traveller, you may know that each place has their secrets, and Cape Town is no different. So brace yourself for a game-changing adventure that’ll make your summer trip to Cape Town that much more memorable. The secret? It’s as simple as visiting during February. While Cape Town is incredible all summer long (and even in the winter too), February is undoubtedly an epic month, for four very specific reasons. Keen to hear what those are?

 

Our top four reasons why you should visit Cape Town in February:

1. The weather in Cape Town is phenomenal

As mentioned, Cape Town’s summer begins in late October and ends early April, with temperatures averaging between 20°C and 28°C. Rainfall is low during the summer months, however summer is know for stronger winds from the south-easter. While sometimes disruptive, these winds are a blessing to windsurfers and kite-surfers who take full advantage in this season! Wind speeds escalate over the months of November to January and can sometimes result in change of outdoor activity plans.

Although February sees a significant drop in wind speed, leaving you with fantastic, warm weather averaging 25°C to 32°C throughout the month. While February is known to be one of the warmest months in the Cape, hot days are often non-consecutive, giving you a little breather between the high temperatures. February is therefore the best time for those who are interested in outdoor activities and excursions, as well as for those who enjoy comfortably warm temperatures without heavy winds.

 

2. There are less crowds

December and January are known to be the busiest months in Cape Town. Visitors come from near and far to enjoy their end of year break in the sunshine. They laze on the many breathtaking beaches and reveling in the festive spirit. Beaches and tourist attractions over this time are usually very busy, as are the roads and public areas. Rates for tourist activities and accomodation are also known to increase over the festive period.However from mid-January Cape Town becomes a whole lot quieter as visitors begin to return home. While you won’t have the entire place to yourself, you will at least avoid the crowds and traffic. 

 

3. There are a plethora of thrilling activities on offer

No matter what your interests, Cape Town is sure to have something that’s right up your alley. This is one of the main reasons why Cape Town is a much-loved destination. Although we think you’ll also enjoy the breathtaking natural beauty, friendly people and delicious cuisine. For those who get a kick out of adventure travel, adrenaline junkies and thrill seekers thoroughly enjoy Cape Town’s adventurous offerings.

These include paragliding, abseiling, shark cage diving, windsurfing, wakeboarding, sandboarding (Atlantis Dunes) and skydiving to name a few. And as we said before, because it’s less busy during February you have a better chance of securing a booking and enjoying the activity away from large crowds. These activities are also usually weather permitting, which means visiting during February gives you a chance to fully enjoy them.

    Starts & Ends Starts: Cape Town Ends: Johannesburg
    Countries South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe
    Overview Beginning in Cape Town, sometimes known as "The Mother City," near the southernmost tip of Africa, this journey is the master of tours, offering breathtaking scenery and well-known landmarks. As we move up the west coast, we pass through some of the largest sand dunes on the earth, into Namibia's expansive panoramas, and up to the Okavango Delta, which is a true wilderness. We proceed to the remote Makgadikgadi salt pans and then head north through Kasane to the magnificent Victoria Falls. As we descend, we stop in Hwange, home to sizable herds of elephants, then follow the rhino in Matobo. The voyage comes to a close in Johannesburg, the Gold City, when you finally pass back into Botswana. We go a considerable distance on some isolated and unpaved roads, but the natural wonders we come across more than make up for any hardship for those who genuinely desire adventure.
