Rain Season Advantage: https://photographytours.co.za/information/advantages-rain-season/
What You Can Expect Weather Wise: Cape Town has a Mediterranean-style climate; dry, warm summers & wet and cool winters. However the surrounding mountains create micro-climates and weather can vary considerably one side of the mountain versus the other, for example the south east slopes receive 4 times the rain than the drier north east ones. As Cape region is a combination of mountains, ocean and winelands this tour can be done anytime, we recommend combining it with a 3 Day Safari.
