Work trip incoming!
I fly to South Africa 🇿🇦 on Thursday, and will spend most of the trip with this gang, so I thought I’d introduce you to them!
We’ve all shared our packing tips with each other.
Jasmine is all about the tech. She’s checked what travel plug we need, packed a short extension lead and a few charging cables. She’ll be able to charge her phone, watch, camera and power bank all at the same time!
Matt is a list man. He suggested that we write a list a week before we travel. Then leave it somewhere obvious so that when stuff pops in our head, we can add it to the list.
Joanne T is excited about the pools with a view. Look 👀
So swimmers 👙 are her non negotiable along with a ziplock bag in case they’re not dry when we pack up and move lodges.
Joanne K has downloaded Rivals! 📺 There’s downtime in the middle of the day when you are on safari, and WiFi isn’t always great, so downloading before you travel is a smart move! She’s also packing for all 4 seasons ☀️ ☔️ 💨 🥶
Heather ( no pic yet!) had a million tips to share but she was all about the weather, and multipurpose items. A brolly for the rain or sun! A thin cotton scarf for the cold mornings or the hot afternoons.
Louise T has reminded us to keep an 👁️ on our 🧳. Safari transport often restricts luggage to 15kg, and usually a soft bag.
I’m all about colour coding my wardrobe.
No black or navy as it attracts the flies.
No white as it gets grubby with the dust.
No bright colours as they attract or scare the wildlife.
