Peak season:

Johannesburg enjoys warm summers that span from November through February, but depending on what kind of itinerary you have planned, the best time of the year for you to visit Johannesburg could vary. Summer is Johannesburg’s peak tourist season, which means that flights booked for this time of the year will often be most expensive.

Off season:

You may find that booking flights to Johannesburg can often be done most cheaply when it’s booked outside of the peak summer season. Do make sure that there are no major festivals taking place during your predetermined time of travel, as this may very well rev up the flight and accommodation prices in Johannesburg, even during the quieter, off-season months, which run from March through October.
