Safari holidays are on the increase as people are starting to be a little more adventurous with their holidays. A few decades ago it was often only the very well off that went on safari holidays due to the cost of them, but over recent years safari trips have become more affordable opening them up to more of the public. Once you have booked your safari holiday it’s time to start thinking about what you need to pack. It is best to do this quite far in advance as you may need to buy special clothing or equipment to take with you and this can take time. The company you book the holiday through should be able to advise you of what type of clothing is required and depending on what trips you are going on, if you need any specialist equipment. If not you can usually contact the company that is running the safari trip and ask them to provide a list to you.
Luggage restrictions are often an issue when going on a Safari in Africa. You may have to get a smaller plane to travel from a main airport to your destination and these smaller flights often have strict rules regarding luggage weight and size.
