TANZANIA SAFARI LAUNDRY CONSIDERATIONS


Many camps have laundry facilities, and you can have all your clothing washed. Keep in mind though, that most, if not all, will also iron clothing. This serves a practical purpose, as putsi flies like to lay eggs in damp clothing – ironing kills eggs. If you have any delicate clothing that would be burned or damaged by ironing, be sure to let the staff at your camp know.

Most people also prefer to wash their own undergarments, so it can be handy to bring along some liquid hand washing soap for this purpose.

THINGS TO AVOID:


Jeans are not ideal – they can be too warm during the day, and take long to dry if you are doing laundry – camps will not have drying machines.

Don’t pack high heeled or wedged shoes, you won’t be needing them and they’re highly unpractical in a bush situation. When it comes to shoe packing, comfort and durability is what you want.

If you are crossing borders on your trip, don’t wear camouflage! Camo clothing tends to draw unwanted attention at border crossings.

Leave expensive jewelry and watches at home. They’re out of place in the bush, and if left unattended in rooms or tents, they can fall prey to monkeys, who are partial to stealing shiny objects.

Even at expensive camps, safari lodges are mostly very casual. There’s no need to bring evening wear, although you certainly can wear “nicer” clothing than you would on safari. Keep everything comfortable and stick to the policy of avoiding bright colours. Remember to layer!

Witness the Majestic Mara River Crossing: A Must-See Experience

Hello adventurers, I'm Baraka, the founder and trip planner at Bantu Pori Journeys. Today, I want to share with you why the Mara River crossing during the Great Wildebeest Migration is an absolute must-see event, especially between July and October. Here’s an account from our expert safari guides, Danny and Hussein, based on our experiences from last year. The Thrill of the Mara River Crossing From Danny: "Last year, our guests experienced the Mara River crossing firsthand, and it was nothing short of spectacular. Imagine standing on the riverbanks, the air filled with anticipation, as thousands of wildebeest and zebras gather on the opposite side, ready to make their daring plunge. The crossing is a dramatic and chaotic scene, with animals braving strong currents and lurking predators. The sheer determination of these creatures, driven by the instinct to survive, is awe-inspiring." Why July to October? From Hussein: "D...

Trip Report: Kilimanjaro Western Breach Route

  The Western Breach is a gap in the summit wall on the western side of Kibo that was caused by lava flow hundreds of thousands of years ago. It provides a challenging access point up to Uhuru Peak and can be incorporated into various routes on Kilimanjaro. The Western Breach can be approached from many of Kilimanjaro’s routes, including the Lemosho and Shira Route in the West, and the Machame and Umbwe Route in the South. The Umbwe Route is the most popular and demanding approach. Each day you will benefit from camps that have been professionally set up before your arrival by your private team of local porters. All amenities from dining tents, mess tents, to your own private tents will be at your disposal. We also feature 'A free toilet' tent unlike many other operators on the mountain.
