Packing list for safari in Tanzania

Preparing for a Tanzania safari means packing carefully to ensure comfort and enjoyment in the African wilderness. Essential items include lightweight, breathable clothing in neutral colors to blend with the environment, along with long-sleeved shirts and pants for sun and insect protection. Don’t forget a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, high-SPF sunscreen, and insect repellent. Sturdy walking shoes or boots are crucial for game drives and bush walks, while binoculars and a camera with extra batteries will help you capture wildlife moments. Bring a small backpack for day trips, a refillable water bottle, personal medications, and your travel documents, including passport and visa. Lastly, pack a light jacket or fleece for cooler evenings and early mornings, and a power bank to keep your devices charged. With these essentials, you’ll be well-prepared for an unforgettable safari adventure with Capybara Safari.

A great Kilimanjaro experience I have recently climbed Kilimanjaro with Brighton and his crew and I had an outstanding experience. The meals were always amazing, lots of food as well. One of our guys struggled a little with altitude sickness, but everyone made sure that he will make it up the top, but all in a safe manner. Brighton is a very knowledgeable guy in the area and has been running Kilimanjaro tours for a very long time and you can see and feel his experience in any possible way. I can’t recommend him and his crew enough!

First time - not the last time This was my first trekking trip, and it was amazing.The whole Crew was always very Kind and polite, every one helped us going up to the top. The food was really good we had plenty to eat even on top of the mountain! The mood was always good, we had a lot of fun and felt safe all the time. We did some safety stops for getting used to the height. The tents were always made by the crewMy guide was a super funny guy from moshi who kept the motivation high and pushed us to go further. It was a great experience and I would recommend any time

Hiking Kilimanjaro I had the once in a lifetime opportunity to climb up Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho route. Although the trek was challenging- especially getting to the summit, it was lots of fun and I had the chance to experience some spectacular scenery and nature along the way. The support of all the team was first class and I would recommend this for anyone considering taking up the Kilimanjaro challenge!
