Quick Tips for Packing
Neutral colours for safari (avoid white and blue — blue attracts tsetse flies)
Layer up for early morning game drives (it can drop to 5°C in winter)
Always carry a waterproof bag at Victoria Falls — the spray is intense
Pack USD in small bills — change can be hard to get
Binoculars are essential — even cheap ones make a huge difference
Sunscreen SPF 50+ is non-negotiable, even on cloudy days
