Although you are in Africa. It will rain, it will get cold. Be prepared. Many of the people on our tour were totally unprepared for cold weather and had to purchase jumpers or rugs to keep them warm.

warm clothes if you are visiting the garden route during the winter. Also for the Kruger Natl. Park during the night and early morning. Take more films than those you are thinking to use.
