You can experience perfect diving conditions in Tofo any time of the year! Visibility is less dependent on seasonal weather patterns and more so on daily conditions. On average, Tofo experiences 15m of visibility with clearer water in the summer months. Water temperatures range from 17˚ C to 21˚ C in winter, and from 27˚ C to 30˚ C in summer.
In the summer months, from December to April, are gifted with long hot days and warmer waters, perfect for viewing the vast array of colorful fish that live among the vibrant reefs or catching a Giant Manta pirouetting in the ocean’s currents. In Kruger, avian enthusiasts flock to the park to witness the arrival of thousands of migratory birds as they dapple the landscape with colorful hues.
In the winter, from May to November, are mild with warm to hot days and cool evenings. In Tofo, water temperatures drop and whales arrive. Humpbacks, occasionally followed by Orcas, fill the Mozambican Channel. In Kruger, the game has begun to congregate at roadside watering holes, making winter an optimal time for large mammal sightings.
Humpback sightings are guaranteed in Tofo during the winter months of July and August. Time will still as you watch Humpbacks breach the ocean’s surface for the first time, defying gravity as it rises from the depths arching towards the sky.
