Others Tips
- Bring soft luggage such as a duffel bag, hiking pack, or sports bag.
- These are ideal for packing into a safari vehicle. Hard suitcases can often be difficult to fit into vehicles.
- Bring a backpack to carry all of your important items including travel documents, money, camera, medication, etc. You should keep this backpack with you at all times.
- Keep luxury items such as hairdryers/ straighteners, expensive jewelry, makeup, and bulky toiletries to an absolute minimum. If in doubt, leave them out.

- Leave some space in your luggage for the all-important souvenirs that you will probably buy.
- There are places where you can send packages home via DHL etc, however, this can sometimes be an expensive option.
