Tanzania Safari Packing list
Tanzania Safari Packing List: Planning what to wear and bring on your Tanzania safari is not complicated. We would like to ask you to pack lightly. Really think about what you need and leave the less important things at home.
Baggage should be of the round squashy type rather than hard suitcases that are difficult to fit into jeeps. Try to use something lockable and waterproof as luggage. To assist with shopping and packing, please request a printable checklist from us and mark it off. It will be an essential part of your preparation.
