Surviving Safari
We were lucky enough to visit Kenya last year and go on an INSANE safari. It got us thinking- safari is so different to other types of holiday, what do you need to know before you go? 1. LUGGAGE You, your companions and all of your luggage are going to be crammed into your chosen safari vehicle for hours at a time, along bumpy roads (where your head will occasionally hit the vehicle roof!). Pack light. Pack compact. Pack in a rucksack. 2. CLOTHING Most lodges will have laundry facilities so pack light and leave plenty of room for souvenirs. Don’t forget your sunglasses, sun cream, long sleeved shirt, fleece/ jacket (early morning safari can be bitterly cold) and sturdy shoes. Our vehicle got wedged in a ditch and we had to evacuate- it was not a situation for flip flops, although some valiantly ploughed on. Be discreet. Wild animals are going to notice you wearing lime green cat suit. So is everybody else. You do not need to be dressed head to toe in green...
