Over the whole of this interior region rainfall comes mainly in the summer
season, much of it in thundery downpours.
South Africa Clothing Guidelines
With these weather conditions in mind, your south african clothing
requirements are also greatly influenced by the activities you are going
to be taking part in.
If you are going on a safari trip you will need to specialise a little
and it's pretty easy to pack the wrong thing.
Avoid this by using
the list
about common safari wear mistakes that I've set up from
my
own personal experience and the tips and
recommendations stored in the travel journals at
African Safari Journals.
Two great places to find quality safari apparel at the right prices are
Orvis
and Cabelas.
I always start looking there when I need new outfits.
If you are heading down to the Cape area for more of a beach vacation
then your requirements will change a little.
Obviously you need to take your swimming costume with you but
the Cape has notoriously changeable weather conditions so unless it is in the
dead of summer take a jersey and long trousers with and a raincoat and/or
umbrella.
In winter, It's important to layer because none of the houses have
central heating as the winters are too short for it to make economic sense
to install. Temperatures can drop to below freezing at night so be prepared.
