SAFARI PACKING LIST
If you’ve never been to Tanzania or been on a safari, the packing list below can help you be well-prepared and at ease while on your experience. Don’t worry if you forget a few things; you can pick up the majority of necessities in town before you depart

A credit card (Visa and MasterCard are most widely accepted). Cash in U.S. Dollars (bills MUST have been issued in 2004 or later)
Clothing
Keep in mind that the safari is not a fashion show and choose your clothing accordingly. Avoid using bright colors; instead, khaki and other neutral hues frequently work well. You should usually wear layers because it can get both hot and cold.

Other advice
Bring soft luggage, such as a sports bag, duffel bag, or backpack. To fit these in a safari truck, they are perfect. It can frequently be challenging to accommodate hard luggage inside the automobiles.
Bring a backpack to carry all of your essential belongings, such as money, cameras, prescription drugs, and travel documents. You should always carry this backpack with you.
Limit your use of luxuries like hair dryers and straighteners, pricey jewelry, cosmetics, and large amounts of toiletries. When in doubt, omit them.
If you intend to bring cash, separate it into distinct compartments of your carry-on bags, wallet, and money belt in case one of those carry items becomes damaged.
Leave room in your suitcase for the essential keepsakes that you will most likely purchase. There are locations where you can use DHL or other services to ship packages home, however this can occasionally be an expensive alternative.
