Tanzania Packing

When packing for a riding safari it is much easier to travel with two bags; one containing clothing and equipment to use in the evenings at camp, and another smaller bag for items that you might need during the lunch stops - your camera, sunscreen, scarf, raincoat and such.

Please note that there is no possibility of shopping during the rides which take place in remote locations. We sometimes get people asking if they can recharge their digital camera batteries etc., but generally this is not possible unless you can bring some kind of adapter that will connect to the 12v batteries in our vehicles. So you need to bring enough batteries, memory, film and so on for the duration of your stay. Naturally you can charge your appliances before and after the rides at the base house.

Clothing: Temperatures vary little. Daytime temperatures are usually in the upper 20's to mid 30's degrees centigrade. Night time temperatures range between 15 and 20C. Safaris over Christmas and Easter should be prepared for possible short showers that do not affect the quality of the ride. You will want something comfortable to change into at the end of a long day's riding. Jeans and a cotton T-shirt will be fine for hot afternoons, but evenings are chilly and you are advised to bring a sweater and a wind and waterproof jacket. Be aware that you may not have the chance to wash anything out. But don't burden yourself with too many changes of clothing. For footwear a pair of light hiking boots are an excellent choice in addition to your riding shoes/boots. Proper head gear is another important item. A wide-brimmed hat is a good choice. Just be sure it has a chin strap. Bring along a good pair of sunglasses, which should also have a strap. A pair of riding gloves is a good investment, both to avoid blisters while riding and as protection against the sun.

We do carry a comprehensive medical kit that will suffice for normal first aid. In case of accidents we evacuate casualties to Arusha. If you use any special medication be sure to bring along enough to last the holiday.

Bear in mind that most airlines flying from Europe limit your baggage to 20kg.

We supply mattresses, sleeping bags, towels and small pillows. You may provide your own sleeping bag if you wish.
