Month by month
Matobo in October
October is the hottest month of the year in the Matobo Hills, and bare granite reflects the heat back at anyone walking on it.
If you only want the answer
Walk at dawn, rest at midday. The first storms can arrive late in the month.
Weather
Days average about 30.4°C, the highest of the year, with nights around 16.2°C. Rain returns towards the end of the month, about 43 mm on average.
Heat on the rock
Plan walks and cave visits for early morning, carry more water than you think you need, and spend the middle of the day in shade. Late-afternoon visits to World's View are easier than midday ones.
Booking
Amalinda's peak rate runs to 31 October; Big Cave's green-season rate starts in October.
