I found that the description of the tour was more in "general" of Africa and South Africa itself than what it actually. In SA the tap water in our hotels was drinkable. It was inferred it would not be. We did not need EXTRA mosquito protect as it also suggested. It was not mosquito season and I did not encounter even one. The weather suggested early spring for the trip. It was in Cape Town BUT the rest of the trip was definitely SUMMER. Temperatures were upper 70's & low 80's at Night. Upper 90's and over 100 in the day.
