TOUR GUIDE VS. TOUR LEADER
Tour Guide: 
Often locals with intimate knowledge of an area, its culture, and history. Their role entails providing commentary, routing the tour, and seeing that people have a good time. They are a licensed, qualified expert who supplies specific information on the history, art, architecture and culture of the city/village/attraction where they are guiding the tour. The guide meets the group at the required place and leaves it at the end of the tour; they do not travel with the group. 

Tour Leader: 
An experienced person tasked with ensuring the smooth operation of tours, as well as providing practical support to passengers throughout the whole trip. Their role primarily includes assisting with accommodation, transportation between locations, and communication with tour guides at each stop. A tour leader may provide general guidance around a city or village and offer information on the place visited on the bus. However, they are not required to have specific art, architecture, or historical knowledge. They are not allowed to provide a guided tour or commentary of a city/village/attraction once there and, if caught doing so, can be fined. 

Please note: Tour leaders/guides are not a standard inclusion in all travel offers. Tour leaders/guides will only be made available when required to enhance the experience of the destination featured. 

CLIMATE & AVERAGE TEMPERATURES
Johannesburg Area:
Johannesburg is located on the highveld plateau and experiences a subtropical highland climate. The city enjoys a sunny climate year-round, with hot days, afternoon thundershowers, and cool evenings during the summer months (October to April). In the winter months (May to September), the weather is marked by dry, sunny days and cold nights. Due to its high elevation, Johannesburg typically has mild temperatures, with an average maximum of 25.6°C in January and around 16°C in June. The UV index during the summer is extremely high, often reaching levels of 14-16, due to the city's elevation and proximity to the equator.
 
Victoria Falls:
The climate around Victoria Falls is sub-tropical, with a mild and dry winter from mid-May to mid-August, though nights can be quite cold. From mid-November to mid-March, the summer is hot, humid, and rainy, with downpours or thunderstorms. Between September and November, just before the rainy season, there is a hot period, which is the hottest of the year, with temperatures often reaching 35°C and sometimes even 40°C, though humidity is lower than in summer. October is the hottest month of the year. In contrast, during winter, while the days are pleasant, nighttime temperatures can drop to near freezing (0°C).
Please note: The water flow at Victoria Falls varies with the seasons.
