Since we want your safari experience to be perfect and comfortable, we recommend a few items that we believe you should remember to bring along:

• From June to September be sure to pack a few warmer items for the cooler mornings and evenings. Days are warm, but a jacket/fleece might be needed for the early morning and night time safaris.

• From October to December temperatures rise and cool, light clothing is once again recommended.

• Try to keep colours neutral for the safaris. Dark colours such as navy blue and black tend to attract the tsetse flies and other bugs.

• Comfortable walking shoes, trainers or boots are recommended footwear, as well as sandals to wear at meals and within the lodge area.

• Shorts or skirts and short-sleeve shirts for the warm midday periods.

• Dinners are smart/casual. Long trousers for gentlemen.

• Swimming costume.

• Sun block, sun hat, sunglasses and lip balm.

• Mosquito / insect repellant.

• Malaria prophylaxis (see our note on Health matters.)

• Extra pair of correction glasses (if you wear them).

• Contact lens solution and an extra set of contact lenses (if required).

• Cameras, binoculars and your favourite film. We do sell film at the lodges but our stock is very limited.

• Spare memory card if you use a digital camera.

• Video camera and a spare battery. (Batteries can be recharged in your suite; electricity voltage is 220V. Power converters are available on request).

• Each room is equipped with bathrobes, slippers, hair dryer and basic amenities.

We hope that this little checklist will help with your packing. As this is a time for you to get away and enjoy peace and tranquility, formal attire is not required. Wishing you a fantastic bush and wildlife safari with us!
