Helpful hints for packing and what to bring

When packing for a safari in South Africa, it's important to pack light and only bring the essentials. Here are some items you might want to consider bringing:

Comfortable and breathable clothing in neutral colours (e.g. khaki, beige, green) to blend in with the environment and avoid attracting insects.
A lightweight rain jacket in the summer months (September-March). If you're traveling during the winter months (May to September), we suggest adding a tracksuit, beanie, scarf, gloves, and a warm fleece
Sturdy closed-toe shoes or hiking boots for walking safaris.
Insect repellent and Sun protection, including a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
Binoculars and a camera with extra batteries and memory cards to capture the moments.
Medications and first aid kit, including anti-malaria medication if necessary.
A small backpack or daypack to carry essentials on game drives.

Remember to check with your safari operator for any specific packing recommendations or restrictions, and to pack in a soft-sided bag that's easier to store in safari vehicles.
