What to Bring
Going on Safari is a wonderful adventure and a experience you will never forget. To make the most of your safari we suggest that you pack the following accessories to capture and enhance your experience. One important thing to know is that you don’t need a fancy camera to capture great memories unless you looking for serious close ups. These day most mobile phones offer wonderful resolution and megapixels for both selfies, images and video.
- Mobile phone
- Point and shoot, Mirrorless and DSLR Camera
- GoPros are great for images and video and small to pack
- All charging devices for your electronic items
- USB cables
- Binoculars for the avid wildlife enthusiasts
- Good Hat with a wide brim
- Season appropriate clothing ( winters are chilly on a game vehicle)
- Polarised sunglasses
- Comfortable walking shoes and sandals
What to wear
Summer Months: September to April
We recommend light functional attire preferably in natural colour shades to blend in with our environment and not stand out visually to game species. Summer can be hot and the direct sunlight dangerous so please remember a good hat as well as sunscreen. During the hottest summer months (Nov/Dec) the daytime temperatures can reach 35 degrees Celsius from 10h30 and from 13h00 the temperature can reach upward of 40 degrees. The summer months are also our rainy season so the afternoons can experience thunder showers but all vehicles are equipped with waterproof ponchos as well as canvas flaps that can enclose the vehicle
Winter Months: May to August
During the winter months in the Kruger National Park, we will usually experience blue skies on most days but with a daily average temperature of 18 to 26 degrees Celsius. The early mornings on Safaris can be cooler with temperatures from 5 to 8 degrees and late afternoons again dropping below 18 degrees. Winter Safaris are fantastic because the visibility is very good but we do recommend that you have warm clothing as the wind on the back of an Open Safari Vehicle can make things chilly. On our Safari vehicles we do provide fleece blankets.
