But would worry that you wouldn't be allowed to camp - unless you have this pre-arranged. it's very hot and humid and the seasons are quite different this year - wet and dry mixed in a bit more so be prepared for rain. I spent 4 weeks in Samoa and American samoa and didn't once see a campsite or any camping....good luck | 2
