But once they have passed and the sun peeks through again,
the park is painted in the most surreal colours.

Re: KTP Seasons and Weather
October is close to the end of the dry season.
However, it's amazing how differently the park can look in the same month in consecutive years.

Sandstorms are quite normal in October, I have yet to experience one in late summer.
