What should I pack?

We recommend packing light and practical:

Clothing

• Neutral-coloured clothing (khaki, beige, olive) — avoid dark blue and black (attracts tsetse flies).
• Light layers: a warm jacket for cool mornings, short sleeves for midday.
• Long trousers and long-sleeved shirts for sun and insect protection.
• A wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and comfortable closed shoes.
• A swimsuit (some camps have pools or you can swim in the delta).

Essential gear

• High-SPF sunscreen (SPF 50+) and DEET insect repellent.
• A headlamp (with red-light mode) and a flashlight.
• Binoculars (8x25+) and a camera with spare batteries.
• Soft duffel bag — hard suitcases are not suitable for safari vehicles.
• Reusable water bottle.
• Personal first-aid kit and any prescription medication.
