Why Tanzania Should Be Your Next Destination

Booking your tour with Safari Multiways means you’re choosing experts with deep roots in the region, passionate about delivering authentic, unforgettable safari experiences. Let’s help you prepare for your journey with the ultimate safari packing list.

The Essential Safari Packing Guide

Packing for a safari is substantially different from preparing for a typical vacation. It’s all about being comfortable while ready to embrace the adventures that await in the Tanzanian wilderness. Here’s what you need to pack:

1. Clothing: Comfort Meets Function

  • Neutral Colors: Stick to light, neutral colors like beige, khaki, olive, or light brown. Bright colors can startle wildlife, and dark colors attract insects.
  • Layers: Temperatures can vary widely, so layering is key. Include long-sleeved shirts and lightweight pants for protection against the sun and insects.
  • A Good Quality Safari Jacket: Early mornings and evenings can be chilly. A durable, comfortable jacket with plenty of pockets can be indispensable.
  • Footwear: Durable, comfortable walking shoes are a must. Consider lightweight boots or sturdy trainers that are broken in and ready for miles of adventure.

2. Gear and Gadgets

  • Binoculars: A must-have for viewing wildlife at a distance.
  • Camera Gear: Bring a good quality camera and extra memory cards. A lens with zoom capabilities will help capture stunning wildlife photographs.
  • Headlamp or Flashlight: Very useful for nighttime, especially in camps where power may not reach.
  • Travel Adapter and Power Bank: Ensure you can charge your devices anywhere.

3. Health and Hygiene

  • Insect Repellent: Opt for a high-quality bug spray to protect against mosquitoes.
  • Sunscreen and Lip Balm with SPF: The African sun is strong, and protection is crucial.
  • First-Aid Kit: Include basics like bandages, antiseptics, painkillers, and any prescribed medications.
  • Hand Sanitizer and Wet Wipes: Always useful for staying fresh and clean.

4. Travel Documents and Money Management

  • Passport, Visa, and Travel Insurance: Keep these essentials safely stowed but accessible.
  • Credit Cards and Cash: Having local currency (Tanzanian shillings) is handy for small purchases.

5. Extras That Make a Difference

  • Day Pack: For carrying essentials on game drives.
  • Water Bottle: Staying hydrated is crucial in the dry safari environment.
  • Snacks: High-energy, portable snacks like nuts or granola bars can be great during long drives.
