We recommend light functional attire preferably in natural colour shades to blend in with our environment and not stand out visually to game species. Summer can be hot and the direct sunlight dangerous so please remember a good hat as well as sunscreen. During the hottest summer months (Nov/Dec) the daytime temperatures can reach 30 degrees Celsius from 10h30 and from 13h00 the temperature can reach upward of 36 degrees. The summer months are also our rainy season so the afternoons can experience thundershowers but all vehicles are equipped with umbrellas

During the winter months in the Cape, we will experience rain as it’s a winter rainfall climate with a daily average temperature of 15 to 22 degrees Celsius. The early mornings can be cooler with temperatures from 5 to 8 degrees and late afternoons again dropping below 18 degrees.
