Packing & Luggage

• Soft-sided bags are recommended on every itinerary, for easy storage in the Land Cruisers.
• On light aircraft, please limit your checked luggage to 15 kg (33 lbs) and one additional piece of hand luggage.
• Tanzania has banned plastic bags.

• Choose neutral colours: Khaki, beige and olive are ideal for safari. Avoid dark blue and black, as these can attract tsetse flies.
• Camouflage clothing is prohibited for civilians in Tanzania.
• Pack layers: Lightweight, breathable clothing is best for warm days, along with a warm fleece or jacket for chilly mornings and evenings, especially around the Ngorongoro Crater.
• Protect yourself from the sun: A wide-brimmed hat, sun shirt, sunglasses and high-SPF sunscreen.
• Pack swimwear for lodge pools and Zanzibar's beaches, along with modest clothing that covers your shoulders and knees when visiting towns and villages.
• Comfortable walking shoes.
• Kilimanjaro: When you book your climb, we'll provide a comprehensive packing list tailored to your trek, ensuring you're well prepared for the mountain's changing conditions.

Laundry services are available at all the hotels and lodges we use, for an additional fee. Some Premium Plus lodges also offer complimentary laundry, making it easy to pack light without needing a fresh outfit for every day of your safari.

• Our Land Cruisers are equipped with electrical outlets, allowing you to charge your devices while travelling between destinations.
• Most lodges offer Wi-Fi, although speeds and reliability can vary in remote areas. Many safari camps rely on solar power, so electricity may be limited at certain times.
• Electrical outlets: Tanzania runs on 230V. Type G outlets (three rectangular blades in a triangular pattern) are the most common, in modern hotels, cities and tourist areas. Type D outlets (three large round pins in a triangular pattern) are occasionally found in older buildings.
• Most modern electronics are dual voltage and only need a plug adapter. Other electronics may need a voltage converter.
