Yes, it does snow in South Africa, though not in most areas.
Snow is typically limited to high-altitude regions, such as the Drakensberg Mountains in KwaZulu-Natal and parts of the Eastern and Western Cape, including Sutherland and Ceres.
Snowfall usually occurs during the winter months of June through August, but don’t expect blankets of snow—it’s generally light, and many parts of the country never see any snow at all.
Snow in South Africa tends to draw excitement, as it’s a rare sight for most residents.
In regions like the Drakensberg, locals and tourists alike flock to see the snowy peaks, which offer a sharp contrast to the country’s otherwise warm climate.
While these areas may not transform into full-blown winter wonderlands, the brief snowfall brings a unique charm to the landscape, attracting winter adventurers and photographers.
However, the overall infrequency of snow makes it more of a novelty than a regular feature of South African winters.
