After all the rain of January I guess it was quite predictable that we would have a hot February and it certainly has been cooking. I actually had to get a small air conditioner for my bedroom, because the temperature was in excess of 30° at 7 pm at night which does make it somewhat difficult to sleep!

The hottest days I ever remember, so far, were at the Shingwedzi Camp in Kruger Park, after preparing myself for a hot holiday in Zimbabwe, which was not as hot as I thought, when I arrive back in South Africa to 40° plus temperatures during the days and temperatures that remained 25,5° at 5 am in the morning! That was unfortunately in the days when I could not afford an air conditioned unit, and it was almost impossible to actually sleep.
