What to Bring and Wear
The day time weather in Bloemfontein will be hot and sunny (temperatures of 30º to 35º C are not uncommon), the evenings will be cooler and there may be the occasional thunderstorm. You need to bring summer clothes, sun hats, a light anorak in case of rain showers, a jersey for the evenings and sun screen.
The sun burn indices are high and you will burn badly if you do not protect your selves. It is also important to keep yourself well hydrated, the dryness of the climate disguises the “sweat rate” and you need to drink at least two litres of water a day and have a litre while you are flying.
If you have a camel pack we suggest that you bring it with you. South Africa has high quality tap water that can be drank without risk, though we also have a large variety of bottled mineral water.
