Some key points
Important things to note
- We will provide you with a list of accommodation options based on your budget and any preferences you provide to us once your trip is confirmed – this gives you the opportunity to select the hotel that best suits your taste.
- Cape Town and Hermanus get rain in winter (roughly from May-Aug or September) but temperatures are mild, compared to winter temperatures in places like the north-east of the USA. A typical maximum temperature is around 15C, and you often have a few sunny days in-between wet cold fronts.
- Winter in Johannesburg is dry and sunny. Temperatures can drop to zero at night, but in the day they rise to between 15-20C.
- Summer in Johannesburg usually means a thunderstorm in the afternoon (although the current summer is exceptionally wet). Summers in Cape Town are hot and dry – a typical Mediterranean climate ( Between November & March)
- Whale season (for which Hermanus is famous) is from June to November or December. This is when southern right whales are plentiful. But it does not mean that Hermanus is a waste of time at other times of the year, because there are other, smaller whale species like Bride’s whales, as well as sharks, seals and seabirds that from the rich marine life of the area.
