February Safari
What is weather and wildlife sightings on safari in February? I am considering South Africa: An Elegant Adventure during that time frame. I appreciate comments from those who have previously traveled on that tour during February. Thank-you!

Just noticed you haven't received any replies, wgibson2, so I will share what I learned from a friend who recommended that we visit in June or July. The summer months in SA (December-March) are hot and rainy in the eastern part of the country. So the foilage will be lush, making it more difficult to see the wildlife. Additionally, mosquitos will be a problem.
We visited in June -- late autumn -- and we thought the weather was perfect. It was dry season, so we didn't have rain. The temps were moderate during the day, although we did need jackets for the early morning safari drives. SO, if you have the flexibility, go during Kruger's dry season (June-September) for the best mix of weather, animal sightings and bug avoidance.
Debra - what was the water level like at Victoria Falls when you visited in June?
It turns out Wgibson hasn’t visited the forum for about six weeks anyway.
