Best time to go on a South Africa Safari?

[Bhfs300]

I can go the second half of July or the second half of September on a rifle safari. What would be the best time to book?

Mostly a matter of weather preference. Cooler in July. Animals tend to stay nearer water in the warmer weather. Airfares may be a tad less later as well. May thru August is peak season. Talk to some outfitters, decide what you want to hunt and they will tell you the best time to do it.

July is cooler,September is still very dry in most areas,visibility is very good.The September weather is quite a bit warmer than July.I would make a decision purely made on the cost (airfares).

To be honest with you, don't think that there will be much of a difference in experience. September still offers some great hunting. The flight ticket will be the biggest factor here.
All the best with your planning.

Take Care,
