Going on safari in Africa is extremely exciting and your adventure will be even more enhanced and comfortable if you start off with the right 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.
Your Basic Needs
- luggage and a backpack
- a sleeping bag
- anti-malarial tablets, mosquito net, insect repellent
- personal toiletries and include sunblock or sun-tan cream, wet wipes and lip lotion
- a torch or flashlight constitutes an important part of safari equipment
- camera and camera equipment
- field glasses and sun glasses
- scissors and/or a pen knife
- drinking water and water purification kit
Clothes and shoes
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.
Along with the tee-shirts, sun dresses, shorts and safari trousers don't forget these :
- one warm and one waterproof jacket
- two sun- hats
- walking shoes that are comfortable
- a pair of sandals/thongs 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.
