What To take On Safari:
- Light cotton tops and cotton trousers / shorts / T-shirts
- Long-sleeved blouses / shirts for game drives or safaris (even in summer, they will protect you from the sun and from mosquitoes)
- Safari trousers for evenings and cooler days
- Shorts or a light skirt
- Jeans or safari trousers for evenings and cooler days
- Khaki, brown, and beige colours - for game hikes and safaris.
- Sunblock, sunglasses, hat, insect repellent, moisturiser, lip salve - these are essentials.

The African sun is harsh most of the year.
- Comfortable walking shoes or sturdy hiking boots. Sneakers and trainer type footwear is not suitable for game or safari hikes, especially white footwear.

What to Pack:
Apart from clothing, and your papers the following can be of use;
- Personal toiletries, Torch, Small Towel
- Anti-Malaria tablets
- A camera (and / or binoculars) are a must (Camera film and batteries can generally be obtained in any major city or town. But of course the further away you get from civilization, the likelihood of availability decreases - like everything else. So please be sure to have sufficient supplies for your needs prior to embarking on a long trip.)

Photography:
Africa is an extremely photo-opportunistic continent. From panoramic scenery, wildlife and birds to people and vibrant ceremonies. Rich colour and good low lighting conditions abound. It is considered rude to take pictures of people without asking them first. Always carry enough film as it is difficult to get in some remote places. Keep your cameras in a dust resistant, padded case and out of the midday sun. A 200 mm (or longer) telephoto lens will prove very useful on safari.

Travel Insurance :
It is your responsibility to provide for your own travel insurance. It is imperative that you accomplish this prior to your arrival in Africa, since you will be unable to participate in any traveling activities without it.

Personal Medical Conditions :
Should you have any particular ailments requiring specialised medication, you should ensure that sufficient stocks are carried by you, during your stay.
If you are carrying prescription medicine, you must carry a copy of the prescription with you.

Planning Your Safari :
Planning a safari is a challenge and one that you will find quite unlike planning for most of your previous travels. However the preparation and anticipation of the actual trip can almost be as exciting as your safari itself!
