Safari holidays are on the increase. With the UK coming out of a recession, people are digging a little deeper in to their pockets to go on that once in a life time trip that a safari holiday can offer. Once you have booked your safari holiday its time to start thinking about what you need to pack as if left to the last minute you may find that you do not have everything you need. Your tour operator 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.
Something that often becomes an issue with travellers going to safari holidays in Africa is luggage restrictions. If you have to catch connecting flights to more remote parts of Africa then you can expect to be travelling on a rather small plane and therefore the amount of luggage you can take is substantially reduced (compared to main airlines). Always check this before leaving for your trip as you may find you have to leave items behind otherwise.
