Why Spring is the Best Time to Travel
Spring is the season of fresh air, blossoms, and longer days. Between September and November, weather is mild, crowds are smaller, and prices are often lower than in peak December. It’s the perfect time to escape, whether you’re craving turquoise waters, golden vineyards, or adventure in the wild.
Top International Spring Escapes
Mauritius — Tropical Bliss, Just Four Hours Away
Mauritius is a firm favourite for South Africans thanks to short flights and affordable packages. Resorts cater to every style of traveller — from family holidays to luxury honeymoons.
What to do: Snorkel vibrant reefs, explore Port Louis markets, take a catamaran cruise.
When to go: September–November for warm, calm weather before December crowds.
Victoria Falls — Adventure Meets Wonder
Known as the “Smoke That Thunders,” Victoria Falls is breathtaking in any season, but spring means cooler weather and perfect conditions for adventure.
What to do: Sunset cruises, bungee jumping, helicopter flips, or combine with a safari in Hwange or Chobe.
Austria — Alpine Charm and Autumn Colours
Europe’s autumn overlaps with our spring, making September and October ideal for Austria. Think golden trees, crisp mountain air, and fewer tourists.
