Recommendations
CLOTHING
Morning safaris can be chilly, you may want
to bring a
sweater/fleece with a t shirt underneath, it will warm up
considerably by mid morning. The afternoons will be very hot
and the evenings are mild but not cold.
On safari most people wear shorts and a T-shirt
during the day
and put on long sleeved shirts and long pants in the evening
for protection from mosquitoes. Should you be particularly
sensitive to the sun a loose cotton shirt is essential during
the day.
Below is a list of suggested items to bring:
2 pair khaki cotton pants (jeans are rather hot)
2 pair sturdy shorts
1 skirt or dress slacks for hotel evenings (optional)
2 long sleeved shirts (for sun protection as well as warmth).
1 light sweater or sweatshirt
1 lightweight, waterproof windbreaker
1 pair sturdy walking shoes or running shoes
1 pair sandals
3-5 short-sleeved or T-shirts
1 bathing suit
1 bandanna (many uses! I usually wet mine and wrap it around
my neck for the afternoon tours to keep me cool)
1 hat with a brim (baseball caps cover your nose but not your
ears).
Sunglasses
A flashlight will be in each tent for after the generator is
turned off later in the night, we usually bring an extra one
or a head light. It is also good to have one at night walking
to and from the dining area.
Anti-Bacterial wipes
Any RX medicines needed, bee sting kit etc.
Suggest bringing Pepto-bismal, sunscreen, feminine protection,
cold/allergy caplets, siperal
Ear plugs (for plane)
Hairdryer with adapting voltage (220volt needed)
Binoculars
Paperback reading material for the afternoons and around the
pool
Snacks, trail mix, gum, hard candies – I usually bring the
single serving sizes of
Crystal Light to add to my water bottles – if you have any
extra at the end of the trip leave them for the guides – they
love them?
3 prong (triangle shape) UK plug adapters - 220Volt
Luggage tags on all bags
A few plastic grocery bags (always needed for something)
Alarm clock ( every night you will be asked at dinner what
time you will like a wake up call – your room staff will
come to your tent each morning and wake you up with cookies
and coffee/tea?)
Clothing - Carry basic essentials in carryon, half your
clothes in your bag/half in your partner's bag if traveling
with someone. If one of our bags is lost, you still have half
our clothes.
Flight Bag - This is a small, lightweight carryon that can be
folded flat and takes practically no room when it is placed on
the bottom of your bag. Comes in very handy when you bring
back more than you can place in your luggage.
Gifts - Quite often I bring gifts to give
to the local village
we will visit, our guides and staff. Last year I told everyone
to bring anything they do not wear/use anymore in a spare bag
and/or school supplies. The people in the villages will
appreciate ANYTHING you bring. Used/new clothes
(adult/baby/child), watches, flip flops, plastic bowls, pens
they have nothing. You will not only have a spare bag to bring
back gifts you buy from them but your heart will feel good.
These people need to be supported, they have been taught not
to kill the animals or tourist won’t come. They are not pushy
to tourists, they smile and are friendly. They will sing and
dance in bright colors for you to take pictures. Education is
very important to them and they wish to learn. School supplies
are like gold. Thank you in advance! The guides like music, I
usually make them some CDs of music (country, gospel, soft
rock). We usually leave any unused supplies with them on the
last night…no need to hall them home and they will be
thoroughly enjoyed.
Laundry – you can leave your laundry in your
tent with the
plastic bag provided each morning on your bed – your clean
laundry will be returned to you by the time you are back from
your evening game drive. No need to overpack please!
Netting – there is netting provided around
your bed in each
tent incase of mosquitoes
(There are few insects but there maybe mosquitoes in the
evenings. The lodges provide insect repellent wipes in your
tents to use.
Camera Needs – batteries, charger and adaptor
plugs, wide
angle lens & telephoto lens
Roller backpack style bags work well, you
can usually roll
your bag to and from your tent to the vehicles. Nothing too
big for the international flights, they are not as easy going
as they are in North American about carry ons.
VACCINATIONS
The suggested vaccinations are:
Hepatitis A & B (now give as a combo shot, good for life )
Typhoid
Yellowfever
Polio (one-time booster shot )
Tetanus
Malaria Pills (Malarone is a good one)
