Best time to visit:
KwaZulu Natal has heaps to offer lovers of all sorts of activities like snorkelling, diving, whale watching, turtle tracking, game viewing and boat cruises. Plus the chance to kick back and enjoy some barefoot luxury on some beautiful, unspoilt stretches of beach.
Although the sea temperature generally doesn’t drop below 20 C at any time of year, it will be warmer in summer (say November to February), with temperatures around 29 C sometimes seen. Bear in mind though that these summer months will be hot and humid and typified by afternoon thunderstorms. Diving conditions are generally good all year round.
Turtle tracking is an exciting possibility at this time of year; the earlier part of the period corresponds to Leatherback & Loggerhead turtles laying their eggs, the latter part to the baby turtles hatching.
If you would like the chance to see humpback whales as they migrate up the KZN coast then July to November is the best time.
