For flights from Canada to South Africa, the lowest fares concentrate in April, May, and November.

South Africa is a year-round destination, but the most balanced periods for weather, sightseeing, and outdoor activities are the shoulder seasons from March to May and from September to November. During these months, many regions have mild temperatures and relatively low rainfall, which suits a mix of city stays, coastal drives, and safaris. The dry winter months from May to September are especially good for wildlife viewing in major game areas such as Kruger and other northeastern reserves, where vegetation is thinner and animals gather near water. By contrast, December to February brings hot summer conditions, with beach-friendly weather along much of the coast but higher heat and humidity inland, while the Cape Town area has its coolest, rainiest period roughly from June to August.

South Africa uses South Africa Standard Time (SAST), which is set at UTC+2 year-round without daylight saving time. Canada spans several time zones from roughly UTC−3:30 in Newfoundland and Labrador to UTC−8 on the Pacific coast, so South Africa is ahead of Canada by between 5.5 hours and 10 hours.
