February carries on much of what January started across Africa, with the continent still split between dry, sunny regions and green, rainy ones.
East Africa remains in its short dry spell, and wildebeest calving season in the Serengeta and Ndutu area often peaks in February, drawing wildlife watchers hoping to see newborn animals up close. Cape Town and South Africa's Cape region continue their dry, sunny summer, with warm days well suited to the coast. Safari regions further north in Botswana and Zambia stay in their green season, with lush scenery and thinner crowds, though wildlife can be more spread out across a landscape that no longer forces animals toward scarce water sources. North Africa remains mild and comfortable, good for exploring cities and markets on foot.
The destinations on our list for Africa reflect that same mix of dry season wildlife viewing and quieter, greener alternatives.
