Climate & Weather

The Waterberg's climate is generally described as warm and temperate, with three distinct seasons. Welgevonden is entirely malaria free, making it accessible year-round for safari visitors.

Summer (November – March)

Warm to hot with afternoon thunderstorms. Lush green landscapes and excellent bird watching. Wildlife is abundant but can be harder to spot in dense vegetation. Peak holiday season over December/January.

Autumn (April – May)

Mild temperatures and diminishing rainfall. The bush begins to thin, improving visibility for game viewing. An excellent shoulder season with fewer visitors.

Winter (June – August)

Dry, cool days and cold nights. The best season for game viewing as animals congregate around water sources and vegetation is sparse. Peak safari season.

Spring (September – October)

Warming temperatures and the first rains. Newborn animals appear and migratory birds return. Beautiful wildflower displays in the Waterberg.
