May to September are traditionally the best months to safari in Zululand. Due to the cooler climate and lack of rain, it results in a congregation of animals around water points.
Spring is when the chances of seeing the antelope calve or an exciting kill the most likely. The bush becomes alive with flowers and colours over this time too and the temperatures are still moderate.
The summer months do get hot but the days are longer so you get more time to relax between game drives.
