For your ease and comfort on a safari adventure, it is important to have with you the correct safari equipment.
There are different variations in the types of safari one can take ( trekking, mountain climbing, wildlife, camping, beach etc), but you will find that there will be some basic packing that applies to all safaris.
The Basic Requirements
- luggage and a backpack
- a sleeping bag if camping or hiking
- insect repellent, anti malarial and a mosquito net
- toilet bag containing your personal toiletries plus: sun-block or sun-tan lotion, lip balm, wet wipes
- an important piece of safari equipment has always been a flashlight
- camera and accessories
- binoculars, sunglasses and scissors or a pen knife
- scissors, a pen knife or both
- water for drinking and water purification kit
Clothing and footwear needs
Make sure the clothing you pack is light and easily maintained in absorbent materials. Avoid jungle fatigues and colors like red that are too bright or white that does not go well with the dust. Khakis, browns and sand colors are more appropriate.
Besides the t- shirts, shorts ,safari trousers and sundresses, bring with you :
- one warm and one waterproof jacket
- two sun- hats
- a good pair of walking shoes
- one pair of sandals and bathroom slippers
- a bathing suit
Don't forget
Do not forget your prescribed medicines in good supply, as well as pain killers, vitamins and antibiotics if you need them. Pack a small first- aid kit.
In general, this is the basic safari equipment. Your travel adviser will let you know if you need more than this depending on your specific safari.
