January, February, October, November, December

Combine Cape Town in summer with Kruger only if you're okay with hotter, greener bush.

Pick Georgia 🇬🇪 if you're going in…

May, June, July, August, September

Roads to Tusheti are open only Jun–Sep (the Abano pass is snowed in the rest of the year). Svaneti is accessible year-round — Mestia even has a small ski area.

Months where both are equally good: March, April.
