What should you bring Year Round

• Layers are the best way to dress on Safari, due to fluctuating temperatures. We recommend cotton. Long sleeves and trousers will protect from both sun and insects. Colours should be neutral (beige, khaki, tan, ect).
• Fleece or a warm sweater, even in summer.
• Hat: broad-rimmed for protection against the sun.
• Sunglasses: Dark ones to cut the glare.
• Eye drops are recommended
• Sunblock, insect repellent and lip salve.
• Shoes: good, sturdy closed shoes or boots and socks for walking. Flip flops or thongs for use in outdoor showers.
• Head torch is handy in the evenings.
• Binoculars: Each person should have their own so as not to miss out on any sightings. Binoculars and good cameras are an absolute must.
• Camera with spare batteries, memory sticks, film, and the correct charging apparatus.
• A Kikoi or light sarong has a multitude of uses
• Most of the camps do provide the basic toiletries (shampoo, shower gel, soap and body lotion)
• A good book for those lazy afternoons.

Summer (October to March)

• Light, compact jacket (windcheater) for the rainy season.

Winter (April to September)

• It gets very cold in the evenings and early mornings and quite hot during the day so layers are essential.
