Before You Arrive
Climate
Fall begins in March, and winter lasts about four months from May to August. Spring starts September and ends middle October. Our winters are fairly mild with warm days of 75F, but the evenings tend to be colder with temperatures as low as 37F. We are located in a summer rainfall area, which means that from October to February we can expect classic thunder storms and very hot summer days.
Clothing
We recommend light cotton long-sleeved shirts and long trousers, in khaki, green or camo as protection against thorns and the sun, although shorts and short-sleeved shirts are acceptable, should you prefer. A jacket is suggested for the chilly early mornings and evenings. Pack light as laundry is done daily.
Health
Injections- Hepatitis and Tetanus. Consult your doctor. No malaria injection needed, except when traveling to the eastern parts of South Africa, like the Kruger National Park. Please remember to bring along sunscreen (SPF 15 or higher). In case of a medical emergency we have medical facilities (doctors and a hospital) in the nearby town of Lephalale.
Safari Vehicles
Each vehicle is fitted with every detail necessary to ensure you have the best possible safari, from safety and backup supplies, to a full medical kit, radio and cell phone support. Bull’s Eye Safaris takes pride in ensuring that you start each day in a clean vehicle that is superbly maintained.
