The Mpumulanga Lowveld enjoys hot summers and mild winters, being pleasant to visit all year round.

In summers the birds are spectacular, as all are in breeding plumage, and exciting migrants abound. In winter the residents such as shrikes and owls are still to be seen, and the walks are cooler. This is the perfect season for game viewing in the Kruger National Park.

Whatever the season, please bring binoculars, personal toiletries, a hat, sunscreen. Light clothing for the warm to hot days and a light jersey for the cooler evenings. Winter evenings can be quite chilly, so warm clothes are a good idea. A windbreaker is advised as the area has summer rainfall.

A laundry service is available. Recent magazines are provided in the chalets.

Photographic opportunities abound, so bring your camera, lenses, film and batteries. These can also be purchased in Hazyview.

We have credit card facilities, but it is a good idea to carry a little cash.

Tanamera is considered a malaria-free area, but areas of the Kruger National Park are not. It is advisable to contact your doctor as to whether you need medication or not. Insect repellent is provided in all chalets.
