Planning a safari in Uganda or Rwanda can be an exciting experience, but it’s essential to ensure that you pack all the necessary items for a comfortable trip. Here’s a list of items you need to pack:
Clothing – The weather can be unpredictable, so bring lightweight and breathable clothing that can be layered. Long-sleeved shirts and pants are great for protection against mosquitoes, while waterproof jackets are crucial for rainy seasons.

Sun Protection – Bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen with a high SPF rating to protect from the intense sun while on safari.
Insect Repellent – Mosquitoes and other insects are present throughout the parks, so carry a potent insect repellent.
Binoculars – A good pair of binoculars will help you spot wildlife from a distance and enhance your overall safari experience.
Camera – A camera or a smartphone with a great camera will allow you to capture memorable experiences while on safari.
Medications – Don’t forget to carry a personal first aid kit with essentials such as pain relievers, antihistamines, and anti-diarrhea medicine.
