Safari Packing List
The short, honest list of what to bring to Tanzania.
Clothing: neutral colours in light layers, one warm fleece for early mornings on the crater rim, a wide-brimmed hat, and closed shoes. Laundry is available at almost every lodge, so pack less than you think.
Kit: binoculars per person, a camera with a telephoto lens, spare batteries and memory cards, a headtorch, sunscreen, insect repellent with DEET, and any prescription medication in its original packaging.
Documents: passport valid for six months beyond arrival, visa or e-visa confirmation, yellow fever certificate if arriving from an endemic country, travel insurance details and a copy of your itinerary.
Luggage: soft-sided bags only for fly-in safaris, with a 15 kg limit per person on light aircraft.
