Bear in mind the following:
- Most safari camps / lodges and hotels provide basic toilet amenities
- Laundry can be done on a daily basis (and many camps provide this
service free of charge but hotels do charge a nominal fee)
- Mainly casual clothing is required
As no formal clothes are needed throughout most of southern Africa,
we recommend that you limit your luggage to the basics. More formal
attire is usually required only when staying in the more prestigious
city hotel establishments or on any of the luxury trains. On a game
safari, casual clothing is the order of the day.
