This is a friendly cautionary warning to all cachers visiting the Western Cape during the December school holidays.
We, and other local cachers, have seen a marked increase in snake activity in the winter rainfall areas of the Western Cape. One of the reasons is that it is currently mating season and they are out there looking for a partner.
There is also plenty of food available for them due to good winter rains.
We suggest wearing hiking boots and keeping your eyes peeled while in the veld or mountains.
Enjoy your time here and maybe we will see you on the mountains.
