Their rainy season is their summer, Dec-Jan, when there are usually tropical showers every afternoon around 5 o'clock. So you should not pray for rain while there in July. That's what I think. <BR/><BR/>When we spent a few days in Kruger National Park (which is the size of New Jersey) in July, we brought kosher food along with us and, because there was no fridge in our cabin, we left cold cuts out on the window sill -- it was very cold outside. (Not below freezing, though.) And some monkeys stole our food!! <BR/><BR/>And then a different time when we visited Capetown, a similar thing happened -- some baboons tried to share our picnic. I have pictures of baboons on the hood of our car. The animals are not as wild as they should be -- they are too used to humans and to human food -- but they are still wild enough to be dangerous. So watch out! And have a GREAT trip!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
