Your biggest problem is going to be availability of accomodation, particularly if school holidays are early this year - about 75% of Kruger visitors are South African, so the school holiday periods are always fully booked. Your visit may well be dictated by when you can book.We tend to go slightly earlier in November as my wife does not like very hot & humid. That said, we still often get days of 40 - 45C. Not quite as bad now as we have installed air-con in our house. From my limited experience the rain in SA is not like in the UK, as it tends to be very heavy for a few hours and then stops, rather than just drizzling for days on end like it does here. That's not to say that it can't rain all day, it's just not the "normal" pattern. The thunderstorms are pretty spectacular though!Allan.</blockquote>
