Wet Season — a quieter time to visit

  • Often the wettest month of the year, with relatively high temperatures and long nights of rain.

  • This is a risky time of year for a beach holiday with unpredictable weather.

  • Enjoy exceptional year round diving and snorkelling with warm waters and clarities that never drop below 15 meters.

  • Don't forget to pack sun block and a hat, Africa has a powerful sun year round.
