The summer months (August to March) bring brief, refreshing afternoon thunderstorms. The sky is often a mardi gras of electrical energy, a bruised sky opened up by flashes of brilliance. Summer temperatures range between 22°C & 37°C (71.6°F & 98.2°F)

Winter brings with it dry, sunny days and chilly nights. The average winter (May to July) temperature is 15.5°C (60°F) but can range from an average of 2°C (35.6°F) to 20°C (68°F) in a single day.

Effectively forming the southern part of the Kalahari Desert, the North West Province offers almost all year-round sunshine. Do not forget your suntan lotion and sun hat (even in the winter), very few days will be spent indoors staring at bleak weather!

The North West is all about the authentic African bush experience and it is the hot, dry African climate which is truly unique. Small wonder, then, that so many indulge in the great recreation facilities available throughout the province. Even less surprising is that so many choose to stay in this area of uncompromisingly tempered, often intemperate climate.

"The North West Province is a must see destination" - one that is diverse and exciting. We offer some of the finest game reserves, cultural sights, archaeological treasures as well as entertainment resorts.

Visitors seeking to experience the wilderness and cultural treasures of the North West may do so conveniently because of it's proximity to the Johannesburg International Airport and the major centres of Johannesburg and Pretoria.
