Kruger, South Africa marks December as the rainiest month of the year. The temperatures can reach at their highest level, 32C, while at the lowest level it dips to about 20C. The average amount of rain in this month is 94mm; however, the idea of spending Christmas and New Years Eve in an exotic place on safari means it doesn't put everyone off.
Still, there is a great disadvantage in booking a safari in Kruger at this time of year: many camps can be flooded, and thus closed, crowding camps that are open. On the upside, visitors may spot new born wildlife at this time of year.
Depending on the camp, you may have a pool, or even two of them, like at Skukuza. Tsendze Rustic Campsite meanwhile offers open air showers, no electricity and minimal service for a real back to nature experience and wonderful peace and quiet the only noise being from the wildlife around the campsite. This campsite is well situated for observing bull elephant bulls, buffalo herds and many birds nesting in the nearby trees.
