CLIMATE

As Southern Africa is in the Southern Hemisphere, the seasons are the opposite to the Northern Hemisphere. With this in mind, summer months range from mid-September till late-April. In Africa winters are very mild - they are nothing close to a European or North American winter. During May to August we have moderate days with cool evenings and early mornings. The sun intensity is strong in Africa and sun block is recommended throughout the year, even if travelling in winter. In summer, a hat and sunglasses is strongly recommended.
