The best time to visit Sabi Sands is during the winter, which is also considered to be the ‘low season’. This is usually the dry season which lasts from May to September. Animals are easy to spot during the dry months as the foliage becomes less abundant and they gather around rivers and waterholes. September is a lovely month to visit.
