Clothing
The dress code is casual.
Choose neutral tones and light fabrics, preferably cotton. These fabrics work best in a hot climate. Do not pack white shirts, they make you highly visible to the animals and try to avoid red which attracts animals.
We recommend that you pack a couple of long sleeved shirts and a pair of long trousers. The evenings can be chilly and they are also good for keeping mosquitoes and other insects at bay.
Remember to bring a warm jacket. Although we are moving into spring and the weather is heating up, the evenings are still cool. Evening and early morning game drives can get very chilly. The secret is to wear several layers that you can take off or add to as needed.
A good durable pair of trainers is all that is needed. You might also like to pack a pair of sandals for around the pool.
Remember to bring your swimwear and sun hat.
