What to Bring

We have compiled a list of recommended items to pack to aid you in planning your safari. Casual, comfortable clothing in neutral colours, such as khaki, brown, olive and beige, are best for safaris and game walks. White is not suitable as it increases your visability to animals and it gets dirty very quickly. It is recommended that you keep your luggage to a minimum.

Winter Months (May - Sep)

Warm clothes are needed for evening activities (thick jacket). Light sweaters are sufficient for midday
