Letter form Jack's and San Camp: August - October 2009 It has been an above average wet season in the Makgadikgadi. With a cloudburst of late rains, we received 185mm in just 48 hours. This is incredible when one considers that three years ago, Jack’s Camp received a rainfall of just 168mm over a twelve month period. 26 November 2009
