Hi,

does anybody know when the school summer holidays start in dec08 and end in jan09? Does the whole country enjoy holidays at the same time, or are holidays spread throughout the provinces? I plan on visiting CPT, Durban, Hluluwe-Umfolozi Park, the northern part of Drakensbergen and Bloemfontein in a 3-week trip, either starting or ending around January 3rd, 2009. (I am going to a wedding on that day, and wondering whether it's best to do the trip before or after the wedding)

Thanks a lot for your help.

Thomas

Do your trip after the wedding. By the end of the first week in January many families are heading home to prepare for getting back to school.
