Bring Binoculars for Bird watching!
Packing for an African trip can be stressful if you have never traveled there before. It’s a good idea to speak with your travel company or guides before you pack and ask them what they recommend to bring. Remember, not all regions of Africa are the same so it is best to ask someone with knowledge and experience.
Be very critical of the items and amount you pack. You will either thank or hate yourself later. You can usually find anything you need in most parts of Africa so be honest with yourself as to whether you truly need what you plan to bring.
Below are several useful items recommended to bring with you to Africa that have proven themselves useful. If you have traveled to Africa before and would like to add your tips on useful things to bring, please leave a comment with your suggestions!
