When to go

There is no one perfect season. You face trade offs.

Summer
 It's generally warm and dry from mid-November to mid-March. However, you will likely encounter crowds and scarce bookings.

Winter
Cape Town is seldom overrun with visitors, but you risk wet and cold weather from mid-June to mid-September.

Shoulder seasons
These periods are unpredictable weather wise, but your odds of having beautiful sunny days are much higher than in the winter period. And, except during a school holiday, you won't face a summer-tourist crunch.
