The Amphitheatre: hotspot for theft

Camped at Ribbon Falls a few weeks ago, saw other campers nearby and no basotho. 

Don't want to be the paranoid guy, and I could well be wrong, but to my mind most incidents occur on the popular long weekends. Maybe @Intrepid has better stats on this. But I would say that the likelihood of an incident on the Amphi is slightly higher on that long weekend than it would normally be. I would also put my money on the suspects not being local herdsmen, i.e. local Basotho activity may not be indicative of safety.

Thanks for your comments.  

With regards the rainfall, there was 67mm in October, but only 10mm measured for November.  The average for November over the last 18 years has been 94mm.  This was measured at RNP, and seems to be up to date.  It would seem though that across the berg the levels of rainfall have been low so far this summer.



Anyone with more info on this is welcome to chime in.
