Clothing
Waterproof Jacket
While in some areas there may not be any rain at all, you’ll be thankful to have a waterproof jacket when you enter one were with ample rain.
Fleece
This is good for keeping you warm while camping at high altitudes and for keeping the chill at bay during early morning game drives. Bring two along; if it rains, you’ll have a dry replacement to put on when it stops.
Base Layers
Get yourself some long sleeve base layers, preferably one made from wicking materials so you aren’t troubled by sweat on your safari tour. The long sleeves also have the benefit of protection from insects.
Long Trousers
Same principle applies here as for the base layer tops, as well as the fact that culture in certain parts of Africa demands moderate dressing. However, keep some shorts as well for use during sunny days.
Electronic Devices
Compatible Plug Adapter
Before packing any other electronic device, purchase a plug adapter that will work in the region you are headed to.
Power Bank
This will let you charge your devices if they run out of power while on safari.
Cables and Spare Batteries
Bring along multiple of these so you have replacements if anything gets lost or stops working.
Memory Cards
Again, keep multiple in case you run out of space on one with all the pictures and videos you will be taking.
