PennsyltuckyLimpopo Weather - Early March
I've been there twice, in June and July respectively. What kind of weather and lowvelt conditions can I expect? Thoughts appreciated.

Fritz RabeDepending on where in Limpopo you go you can find extreme heat, lots of rain and thick bush in March.

PennsyltuckyFrtiz,
What do you consider to be extreme heat?

338zmagI hunted Limpopo in mid March 2009. The weather was perfect for me, I like warmer weather. The mornings were cool, but only needed a jacket once. The temp can get up to high 80s during the day. I never needed a rain coat, but it did sprinkle a few times. I don't know what is normal, but I liked the weather and would go back in March again or Sept/Oct.
Check out this link and click on records and averages. Pietersburg is in the Limpopo region:

Methinks I will have to lay off of the Castles and focus on hydration if its that hot.
Can anyone tell me, it is possible to go 14 days without beer?

Idaho SharpshooterI hunted out of the Steenbokpan area in mid-April of 2010. The rains had stopped about a week or ten days before. It never got to 80-degrees during the day, or under 55-degrees at night. Great weather. I am going back on April 29th for two weeks, I expect about the same.

PennsyltuckyJust got back. Hey Fritz, would you consider 100 farenheit extreme? I've never been so hot as I was on the first day of our hunt. After that, the rest of the week, partly cloudy and in the mid to high 80s. I certainly learned that attention to hydration is a must.
On an unrelated, but relevant note, PEPPER TICKS SUCK!!!!!
