Everything We Learned In 25 SAFARIS / Saving Money, Packing List, Best Camps

Going on an African safari is much different than any other trip and this is why we decided to give you guys a few tips and tricks for you to have the best time on your first safari experience.

👕Packing List:
This really depends on your personal needs and how many days you will be on safari for but at a minimum, you should consider the following items.
- Wind Breaker
- Jacket or Hoodie
- Swimwear
- Shorts
- Pants
- Shirts
- Socks and Underwear
- A good pair a shoes (with thick sole)
- A nice out fit (especially if this is a couple getaway. Camps can do romantic bush dinners)
- Sunglasses
- Sunscreen
- Insect repellent
- Toiletries (Using eco friendly products on safaris is always a good idea for the environment)
- Small backpack to carry things around in the safari vehicle
- Isolated Water Bottle (The bottles provided by camps are rarely isolated so your drink will get warm fast)
- Soft Luggage Bag (some small airline bringing you to

💵 Tipping the staff:
At a minimum we suggest to tip $10 a day a person for the safari camp staff and the same as well for your safari guide / driver. If you they go above and beyond and if you can afford it than feel free to give more as it is always very appreciated. These people are working really hard and for long hours to make sure that you get the best safari experience possible.

Camera Gear Tips for Safaris:
You do not need the most expensive gear to have some fun taking photos and videos on a game drive. here is what I suggest because believe it or not, your iPhone is not enough!
- Mirrorless or DSLR camera
- 200mm lens or more
- Lens Hood
- Camera cleaning kit (it gets really dusty on safaris)

Note:
Most African country allows drones but does need to be register, the pilot needs to be certified and different permits can also be required depending on location. On top of that drones are prohibited in most National Parks.
