Month by month
Matobo in February
February keeps the green but loses about a third of January's rain, which makes it a good month for photographers and birders who want the colour without the worst of the storms.
If you only want the answer
Still wet, still green, a little easier than January. Good for birds and photographs; keep walks for the mornings.
Weather
Expect about 94 mm of rain over around 11 wet days, with days near 26.0°C and nights about 16.7°C.
Birds and light
Summer migrants are still in the hills: Wahlberg's and steppe eagles and yellow-billed and black kites among them. Storm light over the kopjes is the reason photographers come now.
On the ground
Granite stays slippery after rain, and some outlying roads need care. The central area around Maleme remains easy on tar and gravel.
