Clothes, Shoes and Baggage


Light, quick drying, neutral coloured clothes are ideal in the African climate. A couple of cotton shirts, t-shirts and a long sleeved shirt for sunny days are good for the day and for those unexpectedly chilly nights a jumper, fleece or windbreaker should also be taken on safari regardless of time of the year. One of the most practical items of clothing in changing weather and environments is a pair of zip off pants. 2 of these backed up by a pair of formal longs for the town hotels should suffice. We will inform you if you`re going to be traveling though any particularly cold or hot areas.

A good pair of closed hiking boots or neutral coloured tackees and a pair of open sandals should keep you comfortable and safe. A pair of light sandals is also recommended for ladies for the more casual times during your safari together with a skirt or dress.

Luggage must be packed in a soft carry on type bag not exceeding 80cm x 30cm in dimension. Most charter companies only allow a total weight of 12kg including camera and hand luggage.This is in accordance with the air charter company’s safety regulations and must be followed. If you have luggage or camera gear in excess of the above regulations please let us know so we can ensure that there is space and avoid any inconveniences and possible luggage delays.
