As no formal clothes are needed, we recommend that you keep your luggage to the basics. If you are travelling from camp to camp on light aircraft transfers, for safety and space reasons, we have a 12 kg limit on luggage. This is due to a weight problem when travelling in charter aircraft. This 12 kg includes camera bag and equipment. We insist on a soft carry-all (instead of a suitcase) with the following maximum dimensions: 80 cm long by 30 cm wide.

Please keep in mind that the light aircraft have no baggage compartments, so all bags must be carried inside the aircraft, and space is very limited. NB: PASSENGERS WHO BRING MORE THAN THE 12 KGS MAY NECESSITATE THE USE OF AN EXTRA CHARTER AIRCRAFT, IN WHICH CASE THEY WILL BE CHARGED FOR THE CONSIDERABLE EXTRA CHARTER COSTS (UP TO US$600) IF THEY WANT THE EXCESS BAGGAGE TO TRAVEL WITH THEM.

Additionally, a guest travelling alone who weighs 100kgs or more, or two guests travelling together whose combined weight is 180kgs or more, must advise us. All weight limits are due to safety factors involved in the light aircraft transfers.  Kindly note that should these limitations be exceeded, it may be necessary to charge for an additional aircraft.

If you are using only scheduled flight services on your safari, then the weight limit is a maximum of 20kgs (plus camera equipment within reason). Guests in Namibia are advised to store their excess luggage in Windhoek for the duration of their fly-in safari

INSURANCE

a) Health Insurance
It is compulsory to have full medical, emergency evacuation and repatriation cover for the period of time you are away.

b) Cancellation and Curtailment
You might have to cancel or curtail your safari due to unforeseen circumstances. If you cancel a trip close to departure date for any reason you could lose all that the safari was going to cost you. Should you have to leave the safari early, we cannot refund you the portion of the safari you do not complete. Dependant on the reason for cancellation and curtailment, insurance may cover you for this eventuality.

c) Baggage & Money Insurance
It is advisable to take out baggage and money insurance, especially if you are carrying a large amount of cash or expensive and valuable camera equipment. You should always carry such equipment as "carry-on" luggage. Do not put anything of value in your checked baggage!

Claims
If you anticipate an insurance claim upon your return, be sure to document as accurately as possible any accident, injury or loss. Doctor’s notes and police reports will aid any claim

LAUNDRY

Laundry can be done at all Safaris camps. There is usually a modest and nominal fee for this facility while some camps and lodges provide this service for free. The camp staff will not wash underwear owing to local traditions prevailing in the country.

ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES

All run on 220/240 volts.  Outlets are round 3-pin, 15 amp type. Points for electric shavers (electric current 250VAC) are available at major hotels and most state-owned rest camps and resorts. It is advisable to bring battery operated or conventional razors if visiting remote areas.
