Hi

I think I remember about a year ago someone posting a list of the things to
take on safari, also the what you can and cant get things, Like
........

Batteries
Film
Plugs 240v? what sort of adaptors
Clothes... do you need something warm at night?
I think I also remember some one saying dark colours are best???

My wife and I are now planning our 5th trip to Africa. We have
developed the list below based on prior experiences. The clothing is
based on laundry being done daily in bush camps. You might chance it
with fewer shirts, etc but you may run short if rain keeps laundry
from drying. Southern areas include laundry but in East Africa you
may have to pay by the piece. Also, if you plan to take bush planes
you will be restricted to 10 to 12 kg (22-26 lbs) total baggage weight
and it must be in soft bags (we have seen people be left behind
because they didn't follow these rules). Hope this helps, Chris
