Climate
Summer
Expect intense heat in the daytime with occasional thunderstorms
in the afternoon. Vegetation is dense and lush because of summer
rains, and the bush teems with newborn animals. A very good time
for bird watching.
Autumn
At the end of the summer rains the water holes
are full. Temperatures begin to drop at night and the vegetation
starts to change colour.
Winter
Daytime temperatures are pleasant and nights are
cold. Visibility in the bush is very good, making winter an excellent
time for game viewing.
Spring
The dull bush changes to lively green vegetation at the start
of the rainy season. Temperatures are pleasant.
What to bring:
Light clothing for daylight hours,
especially during summer
Light sweater for winter days
Very warm clothing for winter evenings (windbreaker, “beanie”
and gloves will be appreciated during evening game drives!)
Sun hat
Sunscreen
Comfortable walking shoes
Swimming costume
Camera and plenty of memory space or film.
Drinking
water:
The tap (faucet) water in the camp
is purified to the highest standards and is perfectly safe to

available.

Kapama Game Reserve forms part
of a high risk malaria area. Anti-Malarial prophylaxis is recommended.
Please consult your general practitioner regarding which brand

It is not recommended that travellers carry large sums of cash.
Rather keep a reasonable amount on hand, and primarily use credit

country selling local hand-crafted products. These vendors trade
in cash only.
It is highly recommended that you do not stop in informal settlements
