October is another peak season month, with warmer temperatures and dry conditions. Although it can be very hot during the day, this is one of our favourite times to visit. The water clarity is excellent for diving, there’s good fishing, and whales, dolphins, and manta rays make regular appearances.
Weather in October
Expect hot, dry weather with very little rain. Temperatures can soar during the day, but the evenings remain cooler. Be sure to wear lightweight, breathable clothing and keep hydrated, as the heat can be intense. It’s ideal for early morning and late afternoon safari drives.
