Luggage is strictly limited to 20kgs per person, including hand luggage. All luggage should be in soft bags and we highly recommend these are waterproof as they are carried on a Mekoro Flotilla in to the Okavango Delta. Additional bags can be stored, by arrangement, at the Ride Botswana Offices in Maun if need be.

All clothing should be neutral colored to blend in with the bush (shades of khaki, brown, beige or green) and light weight cottons are advisable. Please take into consideration the time of year when you are travelling before making your final packing decisions. Many guests choose to wear their riding clothes and boots and carry wash bags in their hand luggage, in case bags are delayed or go astray on international flights.

Towels and other basic amenities are provided.

A first aid kit is available in camp but please make sure to bring any prescription medication with you. Please consult your doctor regarding anti-malarial advice and inoculations.

In most light aircraft, baggage is restricted to 20 kg per person – including camera equipment and carry-on baggage and must be packed into a soft bag for easy packing into the undercarriage of small planes.
