What to Pack
-
Spectacles / Contact Lenses Take a spare pair of spectacles and/or contact lenses if worn. Some people have trouble with contact lenses and dust and we therefore suggest you bring spectacles to avoid any possible problems. We also recommend that you take your spectacle prescription as it is possible to have lenses made in the larger cities should the need arise.
-
Toiletries Toilet bag, towel, small mirror, razors, shampoo, soap, ‘wet wipes’, toothbrush and paste, moisturiser, sun screen lotion, sanitary napkins. Supplies of most things can be eplenished enroute but not all western brands may be available.
-
Clothing Most people make the mistake of bringing too much! Clothes should be easy to launder and reasonably hard wearing. Avoid nylon and other synthetics which can be uncomfortable in the hot weather.
-
General Most general items can be carried and stored in your main bag, but a lockable day pack/bag is essential for those items required during the day.
