South Africa Packing List Tips by Charlie_UK

Toiletries & Medical Supplies: Lots of suncream - the ozone layer is thin

Photo Equipment: Take throwaway cameras - that way if they get stolen you only lose some pictures not a valuable camera.


Miscellaneous: Read up loads before you come to South Africa - read all about the social and politcial history, even if these are not your favourite subjects of study. You need to have some idea of where the country has been and where it is going to make any sense of what you see when you get there. There is a good chance it will also alert you to the fascinating and life-affirming things you can see and do there as well, like taking a township tour. It's also important to be aware of where to go and where to avoid when it comes to crime. Make sure the info you get is up-to-date.
