A good digital camera – most of us now tend to use our phones for all our picture taking however you really can’t beat a proper digital camera. These don’t have to break the bank with many high-quality cameras available at a fairly low price. It’s important to do your research and make sure you have protective camera equipment to keep your camera free from damage during your trip.

High quality insecticide – the biting bugs on safari are abundant and if bitten lots this can really hinder your trip making you feel uncomfortable and itchy and sometimes even ill. Research which insecticides are most effect for the area you are travelling and stock up so that you have plenty to apply day and night.

The right protective clothing – this really is a safari essential. The correct clothing should be loose-fitting and light coloured as well as give you good protection from the sun. It’s important to ensure that you have good quality sunglasses and a hat that provides shade to your face and neck as well as high factor sun cream on ever day even if it seems shady.
