When to go to Swaziland (Eswatini)

Swaziland has a very distinct summer and winter. The winter months from May to September are pleasantly warm during the day and there is little to no rain at all – but it can get very chilly in the mornings and evenings so have jackets at the ready. These are the best months for wildlife-watching too as the animals start to congregate around the water sources. In the hot, summer season months of October to April, the temperatures rise and so does the amount of rainfall. But so much water makes for glorious scenery and the landscape is luscious, green and beautiful. You can still game drive at this time of year so don’t let the rain put you off – just prepare accordingly.
