Luggage And Bags: I traveled to South Africa alone therefore tried to keep my luggage to a minimum. However, I took too much!!
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Good walking shoes are a must. One pair of decent sandals for "dressing up" and a light jacket are important.
Bring something warm as it gets cold at night.
Much can be bought in SA at a reasonable price. I mostly wore light pants and tee shirts.
Toiletries & Medical Supplies: I took my own toiletries plus prescription medicines and aspirin. Remember North Americans, your hair dryer won't work there without an adapter.
Photo Equipment: I think a digital camera is a must. A video camera would have been a welcome bonus..
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: I went in May/June so no real beach wear was necessary. However the weather was around 20C but the South Africans considered it almost winter so nobody was swimming.
Miscellaneous: SA has wonderful malls so anything you forget, you can buy.
