Luggage and equipment to bring
Generally, during the southern summer (December–March), lightweight clothing is recommended, plus a woolen layer for cooler evenings or when climbing to higher altitudes, such as in South Africa. Warmer clothes are often necessary during the southern winter months (June–September). Also bring sun and dust protection, rain gear for the season, mosquito repellent, sturdy walking shoes, and binoculars for wildlife viewing on safaris.
