KwaZulu-Natal is situated on the eastern side of South Africa along the warm Indian ocean. The weather ranges from cold to mild in the winter to very hot and humid in Summer. KZN is a hot and humid region which makes for long beach days and beautiful safari mornings and evenings
The best times to visit Zululand is typically over the changing of the seasons. April/ May or October/ November.
The rainy season usually starts around Mid November with the height at the end of January. These times make for great bird watching, but with a lot of rain please expect some parks to limit road use because of wet roads as well as rainy days in the bush.
