Deciding what to wear was a problem as colours are limited to earthy browns, greens and beige especially if we want to do walking safaris (which we think we do but someone said to us that when you actually come across a bull elephant you might not be so keen!). Black is to be avoided as it attracts tsetse flies and white just gets too dirty. Apparently we don't need too many clothes for the trip as there is free laundry at all camps but we still seem to have been buying constantly since we booked the trip.
Soft bags are the recommended type of luggage and whilst these new bags look very nice I imagine one trip and they'll be filthy and ruined.
Never travelled so light before !
