What To Bring

Since we want your safari experience to be perfect and completely 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 cooler mornings and evenings. Days are warm, but a jacket/fleece will be needed for the 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, track shoes or boots will be suitable as well as sandals to wear around at meals and within the lodge area.
  • Shorts or skirts and short-sleeve shirts for the warm midday periods.
  • Dinners are casual, except at Sasakwa Lodge which lends itself to smart/casual evening attire.
  • 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 and spare video cassettes 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!

A war that has been raging through the ages, still continues, undecided. Battles are won by opposing forces from both sides but it still continues.

Dry river beds, dried out drainage lines, dust bowls instead of water holes; these are things of the past. All of the rivers and drainage lines are flowing in full spate and the water holes are filled to capacity.
