Rainy season is between October and March.
ROAD CONDITIONS:
The short piece of gravel from the N1 to the farm is a good gravel road – slippy only after very heavy rain. Roads on the farm are good and even low clearance cars can navigate them. Nearly 1km of good gravel to farm. Good dirt and grassed roads on farm. Please try not to call after 20:00. (Jan-13).
