Sodwana Bay has a sub-tropical climate, which makes our winter months moderately mild but livable. It can become a bit nippy once the sun is down so we suggest packing in a few long sleeves and maybe a pair of track suites – for those of us inclined to shiver a lot.

Summers are of course the best time for visiting Sodwana Bay. You will love every moment of it – heat – heat – heat and Sea!
