Welcome to Africam Woodynook.
The dry season at Nkorho would be the Southern Hemsiphere winter (May to September), in that time there will be little or no rain, many of the trees will loose their leaves and the grass will dry up. The waterhole however is unlikely to dry up as it is pumped with water from the camp. Landi Thanks Landi __________________

South Africa is a large country with large variances in altitude and climate. The Nkorho cam is situated on the Eastern side of the country in a region called the lowveld where the altitude is roughly between 300 and 400m above sea level.
Winters in this region are usually dry with temperatures varying between 10 and 25 C. Daytime temperatures are usually very pleasant and our northern hemisphere visitors have no problem in leaping into swimming pools here during winter (something us more senisble South Africans don't usually do while sober). The temperature plummets at sunset (ask anyone who has done an evening safari in mid-winter) and remains cold until about an hour after sunrise when the temperature climbs rapidly again.
Summers are quite different and the forecast at Skukuza in the Kruger for tomorrow is minimum 24 maximum 37 C.
