What to pack for your South Africa holidays

Pack things you would normally wear in a warm climate. In the parks and resorts, clothing is generally casual. Essentials to take along are: Sunhats, sunscreen, lip balm, sunglasses, sandals, sturdy shoes for walking, shorts, long pants (jeans), a warm jacket or a thick sweater and a torch for camps in nature reserves. Cool sundresses and light suits are recommended for the summer months.

From May to September warm clothes are indispensable, particularly in the Cape Region and in the Kruger area. Good camera equipment with a telephoto lens and binoculars are recommended for observing the wildlife.
