Has anyone attempted an African hunting Safari with only a carry on piece of luggage? I am thinking I may want to attempt this. Am I crazy? Any advice would be appreciated. I would use my PH’s gun and travel light knowing laundry would be done daily. Clothes would be placed in space bags and all the air sucked out to reduce size. Here is my packing list, all of which must fit in 22 x 14 x 9 inch carry on (or worn):
- Hunting boots – good ankle support lace-up boots
- Boot bag
- Camp shoes.
- 3 Pair of hunting socks.
- 3 Pair of camp socks.
- 3 Pair of hunting pants (khaki, green, brown or camo).
- 3 Pair of underwear.
- 3 Hunting shirts (khaki, green, brown or camo).
- 3 T-shirts.
- 1 Light weight coat.
- 1 Heavy coat.
- 1 Hunting cap (safari).
- 1 Stocking cap.
- 1 Pair of leather gloves.
- Rain gear.
- Sunscreen, sunglasses, lip balm.
- Toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste, tissues, etc).
- Electrical adaptor and converter.
- Ziplock space bags
- Hand wipes
- Bandaids
- Neosporin
