Packing Lists: What to bring with?
  • Tip Rating:
  • Luggage And Bags: Luggage with wheels is always a good idea, wherever you are travelling.

    Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Some ideas:

    Light coloured clothing that doesnt absorb the sun as much as dark clothing.

    Long-sleeved shirts and trousers will help protect you against the sun and possible insect bites.

    A cap/hat that covers your head and neck.

    Sunglasses.

    Comfortable sandals and tackies/trainers/sneakers.

    Toiletries & Medical Supplies: Sun screen (at LEAST Factor 35 I would say), headache tablets, and usual little things like some plasters for blisters, cotton wool, germolene etc.

    Photo Equipment: Your camera, with charger, and an appropriate plug extension/adaptor.


    Miscellaneous: Have a map of the area handy, plus a local bird, flower and tree book. For this you also need a pair of good quality binoculars

     I wish I could do that clicking, hollow sound of the Xhosas! It's difficult!
