The best time to visit Rooiberg is during the dry season, which runs from May to September, offering pleasant weather and optimal wildlife viewing.During these months, the weather is generally mild and sunny, with cooler evenings and mornings, making it very comfortable for outdoor activities like safaris and exploring the bushveld. The lack of rain means vegetation is less dense, and animals tend to congregate around water sources, making them easier to spot. This period is ideal for couples and families looking for a relaxed yet adventurous holiday.For those who don't mind warmer temperatures and occasional rain, the shoulder seasons of April and October can also be good. You'll still experience decent wildlife viewing and can often find better value on accommodation.
