RESPONSIBLE TOURISM & ECO-TOURISM IN RWANDA, UGANDA, & TANZANIA

Safari Packing List

At Mashariki Tours, we want all of our guests to be prepared for their safari in Africa, where they will embark on Rwanda tours, Tanzania tours, Uganda tours, gorilla trekking, and so much more. The list of safari essentials below — far from exhaustive — is supplied for reference only, to serve as a general guide. Where possible, luggage should be kept to a minimum due to the weight and space restrictions.

Many camps and lodges that will stay in during your safari tour will be able to provide laundry service, but usually no more than one item per day, per person. Small personal items of clothing are generally not included in the service.
