Super! Would love to see how it all fits into your backpack later!

Good advice!

I’m not headed on a Safari, but I love the packing videos.

Great information, especially about the colours and why you need to avoid dark ones.

Thanks!!! I didn't know about bringing cash for guides and staff. We are leaving in 3 weeks for Nairobi Kenya and will be on safari for 8 days. Lots of helpful information! I will not be taking the black zip off pants I bought. LOL I hope Kenya does US dollars as well. :-)

Your packing videos are always great, have a wonderful time! Oh, and you’ve probably seen them but Prana’s Halle pants come where you can roll them up vs zip off, I own several of those.

Great tips, as always, Sarah. I'm a big fan. When I first watched your videos and you mentioned weighing your clothes I knew I had found a "sister-vagabond." I very much would like the link to your monocular/cell phone rig, but I can't seem to find it. (No rush, my safari isn't until next year!) I would also be curious for a post-safari review of your selected gear. I know you are just about out the door, so Bon Voyage! And thanks so much!

If you are doing a night drive, I'd suggest bringing a scarf. It may be very buggy and wearing a scarf will keep bugs out of your nose and mouth as you are riding in the back of an open air vehicle.

What brand is the collapsible water bottle? I've been looking for one. Thx

Were visas needed?

Sooooo, is this a case of good for you, not for me, or are we going to be judged and found wanting if we come on one of your tours? We camp and take hiking and biking trips, so we have the zip off pants. We like to take them to Europe because they are light and dry quickly. I don't think we've ever converted them to shorts.
