The continent of Africa will provide you with great views of the spectacular landscapes, wilderness, fascinating wildlife, appetizing food and incredible culture. Your holiday there will be filled with fun activities and joyous memories. However, while you pack your bags, apart from your belongings and necessary travel documents, you also need to pack a few essentials specifically for your trip to Africa. Here is a list of things you definitely need to take on your African vacation.
Travel Insurance
When you are planning your vacation to Africa, you need to be prepared even for the unexpected. Even though nothing goes wrong, it is good to have travel insurance as a backup. Generally, most travel insurances cover flight cancellations, emergency evacuations and stolen equipment.
First-Aid Kit
You should always carry a first-aid box, especially when you are going to spend the majority of your time outside. You never know when you will obtain minor injuries on your holiday. Your medical kit should include band-aids, antiseptic wipes, antiseptic cream, a thermometer, hand sanitizer, painkillers and more such items.
Universal Power Adapter
Different countries have different types of plugs. Hence, it is beneficial to pack a couple of universal power adapters for your convenience. Whenever you need to charge your devices, you wouldn’t have to look for a plug that will fit your charger; instead, you have a universal adapter.
Hiking Shoes
During your African trip, you might go on hiking treks and walking tours which be hours long. Hence, it is necessary to have hiking shoes that are not only protective and firm but also comfortable.
Sunscreen
On your leisure trip to Africa, you are going to spend a lot of time outdoors on safari rides or walking tours. So it is absolutely essential to carry sunscreen with you. Sunscreens are available in different kinds of applications like lotion, roll-on stick and spray; you can use the type you prefer.
Insect Repellant
Only in Africa can you view gorillas and chimpanzees in their natural habitats, and for that, you will have to walk through dense forests. This is also where you will come across lots of insects, so you must carry insect repellent with you.
