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!
