Safari guide
Max 15 kg
One of the tricky questions when you are packing your suit case, is what to bring ?
If you will fly in a small aircraft, you will not be allowed to carry more than 15 kg. And the recommendation is to carry your luggage in a soft bag, which is easy to stow in the aircraft.
Now what do you need to carry with you ?
Bring comfortable, casual wash-and-wear ( cotton which can be ironed ) clothes, and rough shoes for walking in the terrain. The color of your dressing needs to blend in with the bush ( khaki, green, beige and neutral colors ) when on a game viewing. Do not bring any military outfits or similar, as it may be an offence in some countries. Game drives are conducted in the early morning, late afternoon and the evening, and it can be cold, windy and chilly.
- Shirts with long sleeves ( for protection against mosquitoes and the sun ).
- Jeans or outdoor trousers for evenings and cooler days.
- Shorts or a light skirt, swim and beachwear.
- A jacket and sweater are recommended for early morning and evening game drives.
- Lightweight water-proof jacket.
- Comfortable and rough walking booths or shoes.
- Sun protection cream, sunglasses, hat, insect repellent, moisturizer and lip-salve.
- Camera , extra batteries, memory sticks, discs or tapes.
- Recharger of batteries, for camera, torch and mobile phone.
- Binoculars ( ask your host, about borrowing a binocular )
- Torch pocket-model.
- Pocket money in smaller denominations, as you will not get any change back.
- Airport taxes are usually paid in cash and USD.
- Contact details for blocking lost credit cards.
- Insurance policies ( Copy should do )
- Entry – Visa ( some countries can grant a Visa permit at the entry port )
- Passport with an expiry date beyond 6 month and empty pages for stamps.
