What Can you Pack?
1. Bag: Any bag comfortable to you but remember, you'll never have to carry around all your bags by yourself so size doesn’t matter. But again it matters to the airline. While on safari you have an option of leaving the extra luggage at our office or at the hotel for safe keeping.
2. Clothes: Comfortable warm clothes and light clothing as well. Midday sun can be scorching so you’ll want to have your shorts and T-shirts or tank tops at hand. People bring a hat or cap for sun but actually, they are of little use since you will spend your longest hours sitting inside a vehicle. Still they might come in handy.
3. Shoes: The basic rule for shoe wear is to wear whatever makes you feel comfortable when seated inside a vehicle and walking short treks, since the regular safari does not require a lot of walking. A thick sole is better because it will keep your feet safe from the hard and spiky acacia thorns that might be lying on the ground.
4: Drugstore & accessories: Don't bother yourself with fantasies about dangerously close encounters with wildlife. While on safari, your worst enemy is not hiding in the bush, but high up in the sky. Remember you will be sitting on the Equator; therefore bring your sunglasses, sunscreen with a high protection factor and an after sun lotion. Don't forget your wet wipes because camps don’t provide them. Packing some mosquito repellent is advisable, but this is up to each one’s tastes and sense of danger.
5. Electronics & appliances: The main mobile telephone network Operators here are Safaricom, Airtel and Telkom Orange. You can easily acquire one chip-set of any of the operators at the airport and have it registered instantly at the airport for your use. Electric current is 220-240 volts and 50 hertz. Sockets are British-type (type G), with three rectangular blade pins. You can as well tag along a power bank if you need. A flashlight/torch is necessary too, especially in Masai Mara where the generator is sometimes powered off for the better part of the night. Finally, get your camera/camcorder with enough memory size, your passport + visa, switch on your anticipation and let’s meet soon to start a dream safari.
