An African Autumn. One of the best times to visit; the lake is crystal clear, the bush still green and the temperature perfect.

Mid-Winter. Warm in the day and cooler at night. The bush dries out bringing the animals closer to the water sources. Perfect for warming your toes round the fire at night.

Seasonal winds can make for some spectacular waves on the lake - you will think you are on the ocean!

Things start to heat up! This makes a very welcoming lake. The bush is also now dry giving fantastic views of the surrounding bush.

The hottest time of the year but the lake is an oasis of freshness. Excellent visibility ensures fantastic snorkelling.
