Where is the hottest weather in Africa right now?

During the Northern Hemisphere winter, the hottest temperatures are found in West Africa and the Sahel region, as well as southern destinations like Namibia and Botswana which are in their peak summer.

For travelers seeking both heat and sand, Zanzibar (Tanzania) and Diani Beach (Kenya) offer world-class turquoise waters and temperatures that rarely dip below 28°C (82°F).

Because Africa spans both hemispheres, it is always summer somewhere. Egypt and Morocco are best from May to October, while South Africa and Mauritius shine brightest from November to March.

Since these are the most popular spots for “winter sun,” hotels can fill up quickly during the holiday season and school breaks. We recommend using our weather widgets above to find the best current weather and book your flight and hotel together to lock in the “Same Price as Booking Direct” rates.

Don’t get hit with massive roaming charges while checking your maps in the sun. We recommend using a service like Saily (by NordSecurity). You can set it up in one click before you land, ensuring you have data the second you step off the plane.
