• There will be times when you are exposed to the sun so a thin long sleeve shirt may come in handy.
• The early morning drives will be very cold in the winter months - so layers are best to keep out the chill in the back of the game drive vehicle. (June-Aug.)

• If you have recently travelled to a yellow fever area please ensure you have the relevant yellow fever vaccination requirements in place.
• Please ensure you have checked the appropriate Visa requirements for your nationality before travelling.
• Last but not least, a sense of humor ………… This is Africa!!

• Bring some light fabrics and loose-fit clothing that dries quickly, in tranquil colours.
• Bring a warm sweater (or jacket) and scarf. Temperatures plummet in mornings and evenings; warm clothes during a game drive are a necessity. No worries if you are still shivering, camps also provide ‘bush babies’ (and you will soon find out what those are)
• Shorts for men and women are fine in the bush, but longer trousers are socially acceptable in rural villages
• It is accepted to dress casually in safari camps
• A squashable hat and sunglasses with good UV protection are essential
• Leave all your camouflage or military themed clothes at home: in Africa this is not considered appropriate clothing and the police might actually question you
• Wear lightweight footwear with ankle support if possible. Make sure the shoes feel comfortable and that you can walk in them for an extended period
• Bring a few pair of thin socks, rather than one pair of thick socks in your shoes. Several layers of thin socks is often more comfortable.

Useful safari tools

Although Chobe safari lodges usually provide everything you can possibly imagine, bringing some of your own tools is fun and useful. So what should you bring? Here are a few items we always put in our suitcases:

• Binoculars (to view animals from your private deck at any time and anywhere else);
• Your camera (of course!)
• An inexpensive, waterproof watch (leave expensive jewelry at home)
• Sunblock and lipsalve
• A small pocket torch
• Insect repellent
• Camps often provide water bottles, but you can bring one yourself, too
