Best Time to Visit Eswatini

The best time to visit Eswatini is during the dry season, from May to September, when cooler temperatures and clear skies make travel pleasant and ideal for outdoor adventures. This is the prime period for wildlife viewing in reserves like Hlane Royal National Park and Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary, as animals tend to gather near water sources and vegetation is less dense. Cultural events such as the Umhlanga (Reed Dance) in late August or early September also attract visitors during this time. The green season, from October to April, brings dramatic scenery, lush landscapes, and fewer tourists — perfect for birdwatching, photography, and a more tranquil pace of travel. While rainfall can affect rural access, this period offers a different kind of beauty. Whether you're drawn to traditional ceremonies, nature, or off-the-beaten-track discovery, Kaapstad Safaris and Tours, our trusted Africa DMC’s local expert in Eswatini, is here to help you choose the best time based on your interests and expectations.
