  • Layered clothing: Mornings and evenings can be cool, so pack a light jacket or fleece.

  • Comfortable shoes: Sturdy hiking boots or closed-toe shoes for walking safaris, plus sandals for downtime.

Gear

  • Binoculars: Essential for wildlife watching.
  • Camera: With extra batteries and memory cards; a zoom lens is beneficial.
  • Daypack: For carrying essentials during excursions.
  • Water bottle: To stay hydrated—many lodges provide refill stations.

Toiletries and Health

  • Sunscreen and lip balm: High SPF recommended.
  • Insect repellent: Especially with DEET for malaria protection.

Miscellaneous

  • Travel documents: Passport, visa, and travel insurance.
