What To Pack On An African Safari (For Her)

Chat now on WhatsApp

If it’s your first time travelling to Africa, packing for an African safari might seem a bit daunting. But the great news is, you already own most of the essentials. On safari it’s easy to feel comfortable, keep it laid back and to look great. Our female packing guide is all about practicality - a checklist of essential items you will most definitely need on your trip to Africa. And should you manage to pack really well, there may even be a little space for a few of those “in case I need it” items.

Do you like to read on vacations or listen to some tunes?

Anja at Safari.com was a great partner to work with!
Working with Anja at Safari.com was great. She was able to work some magic and got us a few nights at the safari lodge we really wanted, Ngoma. Unfortunately, our flight from the USA to South Africa was canceled and we were rebooked a day later but Anja was great about making sure our lodge and the transports knew about the change in plans and made sure we got to our trip as soon as we could. She was a great partner to have and communicated quickly whenever we reached out. I would highly recommend using her when planning a trip to Africa!

Great service from Denise at Safari.com
Denise from Safari.com was extremely helpful. She responded promptly, provided good advice on safari lodgings options and worked up a couple of itinerary options to suit our budget. Denise also organised flights and transfers very quickly so that we could finalize our booking in a short time. Much appreciated.
