Drakensberg Amphitheatre

SafariNow Travel Guide The altitude of the Drakensberg and surrounding Midlands moderates the summer climate, where temperatures rarely climb to 30 degrees C. The rainy season is in summer (December to February) is characterised by daily thundershowers and can be intense with week long downpours.

Winter days are warm, often above 20 degrees C and night temperatures frequently plummet to below zero with snow regularly illuminating the peaks. Autumn is regarded as the best time to visit when the rainfall drops and the lush green mountain slopes change to golden blonde.

Pietermaritzburg Climate

Pietermaritzburg lies at an altitude of 613 metres on latitude 29º36' South and longitude of 30º26' East.
