What not to pack on an African Safari
Here are a few things you shouldn’t:
- Camouflage or military-style clothing – this is prohibited in some countries (eg. Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda) and not recommended for safety reasons.
- Drones – they are not allowed in most national parks and reserves across East Africa.
- Plastics – many East African countries are going polythene-free for the sake of the environment, meaning that bringing in plastic bags is illegal (searches at the border are common). If you want to protect your toiletries from potentially leaking in your luggage, opt for a transparent, multi-use toiletry bag instead.
- Hairdryers – these can significantly drain the power supplies of camps and lodges, so leave them at home and dry your hair naturally for the duration of the trip.
