Between Nov and March we normally have the rains which are not prolonged and
not too heavy (Annual Rainfall is 450 mm). As indicated you can get extreme
hot weather for a few days before the rains come. This period is normally
when the Mosquitoes come out, but we are in a low risk area. Suggest you
bring long sleeved shirt and trousers for the evenings; otherwise use
Mosquito Spray.
April - August: Autumn/Winter. Max temps are around 30 degrees Centigrade,
and Min. 5 degrees (at night/dawn in peak winter). It does feel very cold
early morning in the middle of the Winter, and late in the evenings.
Generally no rains during the winter season and no Mosquitoes (still advisable
to take precautions).
Sept - March: A weather/rain proof jacket, fleece/jersey, swimming gear. We
do have a same day Laundry service, so you don't need loads.
April - August: Jacket, jerseys, gloves, balaclava, scarf, swimming gear if
you don't mind a "Fresh Swim".
There is no dress code in the Camp - relax and wear what you please.
