Safari countdown: Heading to East Africa

Getting ready to head out to Africa is such an exciting proposition! Less than 1 week away, and what have we done so far?


One: We have our Passports and Visas prepared, we use a Visa expediter to process them in advance saving time in line upon arrival at the airport if they are necessary . Passports need to have at least 6 months before expiration and plenty of blank pages for border crossings


Two: Have checked the CDC website and spoken to our doctors for immunization updates . If required, you may need boosters or Malaria tablets to be obtained by prescription from your physician or a travel doctor.


Three: Travel Insurance- Always recommended when traveling here to protect you from unforeseen issues


Now, the fun of Packing! A soft-sided duffle with no hard bottom to fit into the small charter-planes is the best bet. Only 44 lbs of luggage per person may be taken so the motto is Pack Light! Pack Light! Pack Light!


Using a packing list developed by our company and paying attention to the weather reports so you don’t bring too much. Laundry is done every day in the camps. Best advice: Dress in layers, only casual clothing, a good hat ( with a strap ) sunglasses & comfortable lightweight shoes.


Here are some photos for packing for a two- week Safari and a bag to use:

We are testing a bag that we will be offering to clients this year and so I will report back on that when I have more information.






If your bag doesn't have wheels attached, you could always bring some along!

Seasoned Advice: It is great to have a bag with straps to double as a backpack!


Packed and ready! Stay tuned for our latest adventure to begin in just a few more days!
