It is advisable to take a warm jacket for game drives - even in the summer months as the early mornings and evenings on an open vehicle can be chilly. Rainfall occurs during the summer months.

When walking in the bush or long grass it is easy to pick up fine ticks known as pepper ticks. The best way to avoid them is to wear socks and treat exposed parts of the body with insect repellent. At the end of each day check all over the body for ticks.

February is the hottest month and temperatures can exceed 40º.The sun is at its strongest between 12h00 and 15h00.
