On a safari holiday you are not going to be taking a lot of excess luggage, the basic rule of thumb is pack light, pack smart.
However there are some items that really will make your trip much more enjoyable and these items reach my top list of things that you cannot do without on safari.
A good pair of walking boots – now you really are not going to want to scrimp on these! A good solid pair of comfortable walking boots will see you through the long treks and ensure you don’t end up with blisters and problems walking over the sometimes challenging terrain.
Sun cream – this is a must, even when the wind pics up and the temperature don’t feel too hot you really will need a high factor sunscreen to protect your skin from the harsh UV rays of the hot African sun.
Binoculars – now these are often provided on planned excursions but there is normally only a couple of pairs to share so if you bring your own you’re sure to never miss a thing.
