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
 
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. :Cold::Coldfeet:

Hi Reedy

I am hunting the Eastern Cape, Bushveld area. Can't wait...
 
Best of luck, I am also leaving in 9 days heading for the NW province! Going for buffalo and plains game, can't wait!!!
 
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. :)
 
Welcome to AH sir!

Here's the target for the NorthForks - 25yds off a bag, iron sights. Hunting leopards over dogs the range won't be more than that.

Flew in an airshow in Smyrna years ago, beautiful country.

Best regards,

Franco
