WHAT TO PACK FOR A TRIP TO SOUTH AFRICA AND SEYCHELLES

The plains of Kruger National Park, wildlife roaming about, Table Mountain, and beach villas await. There's so much to be excited about for this honeymoon trip to South Africa and Seychelles.

This is a trip that crosses many types of activities but also different climates so we had our work cut out for us when packing away our life for 28 days on the road.

Since our trip spans extreme hot dry climates at Kruger, tropical island heat in Seychelles, to moderate Spring-like temperatures in both Cape Town and fall weather in Istanbul, we kind of needed to pack quite the array of versatile clothing.

Clothes

What I've learned is that emergency medicine is always good to have especially when you're in a foreign place because what you know to be “Tylenol” may be called something completely different elsewhere.

Toiletries

Prescriptions

Make sure to check in with your doctor to see what prescription medication you need for your trip.  As I've done trips to Ethiopia and the Amazon in the past 3 years, I've had a number of vaccinations so I'm covered for a number of things.

Where packing light completely failed was in this department.  As much as I wanted to cut down on gear, things kept piling up.

Technology Gear

Take special note of the South African one which is the one on the top right with 3 circular plugs.  I've been told that most places will have the UK/Euro plugs so you should be okay without them but borrowed this one in case.
