What to pack
In order to make your stay as comfortable as possible, we suggest the following preparedness tips:
- UV protection sun block, lip creams, and sun hat
- Comfortable walking shoes for tracking safaris
- Prescription medicines
- During the winter (May to September) the mornings and evenings can be cold. Therefore we suggest you bring along a bush jacket and warm clothing for game drives and light clothing for the days.
- During the summer (October to April) light weight cotton clothing will provide both adequate shielding from the sun’s UV rays and comfort in the heat.
