Cool Safari Gear

Packing up your Safari gear is a critical step in the entire trip planning and management. Given the fact that space is at a premium in the international airlines, various transfers and the safari vehicle, you might not want to pack over the bare essential safari gear. However, here’s a list of cool safari gear that not only fits within your list of essential gear but is also rather cool.

Binoculars: The most important Safari accessory you need to have on you at all times is a good and sturdy pair of binoculars. You will find binoculars in different price, weight and utility range. Pick the one that suits your requirement and fits into your budget. There are also places that you can rent out binoculars from. This is a better and practical option if you aren’t a seasoned safari traveler.

Watches: There are beautiful and highly technical watches in the market these days which provide you with a plethora of tools and utility functions. Apart from being a bare necessity on a safari, a watch doesn’t take up any space in your luggage. So do your research and splurge a little.

Multi Toolkits: Today, you will find a range of toolkits which are literally smaller than your smartphone. The credit card multi-tool and the key ring multi-tool are on top of this list. Given their size, they can be with you anywhere and are very handy on expeditions of any sort.

Torches: Though a fancy torch might sound like an extravagance, but late at night, deep in the African jungle you will be grateful for one. You can find many LED Lenser torches with varying ranges, brightness and charging options.

Travel safes and locks: Your safari backpack is sure to have a lot of zippered compartments. Make sure you buy a few travel locks to lock them up. A travel safe is also a good option considering that you are sure to be carrying important documentation with you on the Safari. A mechanical luggage scale is also a good buy for a safari trip.

So before you start on your next safari, do check out these cool accessories.
