Packing List

[Jonathan Field]

Hi All

In 9 days I am departing the UK for SA for my first dangerous game safari. I was wondering if any of you experienced Africa hunters had a packing list that may help me?

Regards

Jon

Jonathan,

Welcome to AH! I wish you all the best on your safari, what area are you going to? The best advice I can give you is pack light as your clothes will be washed daily in most cases. Make sure you have any/all meds you need, your passport, your cameras/phone/computer/tablet. Maybe a plug adaptor, earplugs, binos. Other than that cant think of anything major. Best of luck

Also have a look at the Safari Planning Guide: http://www.africahunting.com/community/safari-planning-guide/.

To make it simple, on my hunt last year I packed a change of clothes into my carry on and wore my hiking boots. I also took all my meds, and cameras in the carry on. That way if my luggage did do a disappearing act I would still be able to hunt with the PH's rifle.

Without looking at the links I will also say to pack light unless you plan on a touring trip after your hunt

just dont over complicate it by taking too much crap you will never use or need and remember its cooling down at night and will only get colder , so mornings and evenings on the vehicle arent fun if you are freezing.

Pack a jacket, as mentioned it does get cold.

Bring half the amount of clothes you think you'll need (laundry is done daily) and twice the amount of money you think you'll need.
