What is the best area to stay in Mbiza?

Umhlanga is a well-established coastal town known for its beautiful beaches and vibrant promenade. The iconic Umhlanga Lighthouse stands proudly on the beachfront, and the Gateway Theatre of Shopping, one of the largest malls in Africa, is just a short drive away.

When is the best time to go to Mbiza?

The best time to visit Mbiza is during the dry season, which runs from May to September.

During these months, the weather is generally mild and sunny with lower humidity, making it ideal for outdoor activities like game drives and exploring the natural reserves. The cooler temperatures also mean that animals are more active and easier to spot as they gather around water sources.

Couples looking for a romantic and comfortable safari experience will find this period particularly appealing. The pleasant weather allows for relaxed days spent wildlife viewing and evenings enjoying sundowners without the discomfort of high heat or rain.

Families travelling with children will also appreciate the dry season.
