Safari essentials

Clinton Moodley recommends you add these essentials to your suitcase

1. A jacket

Never underestimate the weather on a safari trip. The weather can get chilly during the morning or late afternoon safaris, therefore carry an extra jacket. Some lodges provide blankets, which you can use if you need extra warmth.

2. Sunscreen

Always apply some sunscreen before going on a game drive. The sun can get harsh, and you do not want to leave your holiday with sunburn

3. Hat

Hat A hat comes in handy in all weather conditions. Not only does it protect you from the sun, rain and wind, it also makes for a cool fashion accessory.

4. Snacks

With the adrenaline and adventure that a game drive offers, it is always good to carry some snacks with you. Some game drives include refreshments and snacks during the trip, however, carrying a few items in your bag is never a bad idea.

5. Camera

Cellphone cameras are ideal for selfies, but it does not do much while on a safari. When you are in the wild, especially at night, carry a camera. If you are an avid safari-goer, invest in a camera with quality megapixels and zoom function.
