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.
