April or May for Kruger
 

Can anyone tell me if we would experience a huge difference in the weather, visiting the Kruger area of South Africa , from April or May? We are looking at going to Pretoria, Drakensberg, St Lucia, Isimangaliso Wetlands, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park, Pongola Game reserve, Mbabane, Kruger,
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob

It is warmer and wetter in April - particularly in the south and central areas. The grass is lush and this can obscure sightings. A high vehicle and AC will solve this. By mid-May, the area is drying a bit, with temps dropping.

As Ian has stated, May is a bit cooler and it is generally starting to dry out. You should be good in either month though, especially as lion activity is notably prevalent during both these months.

Go!!!!! Marvelous!! I've only been in May and September/October.....grab that best deal....and GO! Think also about Zimbabwe.
