Good to know
Luggage
Soft bags are easier to pack into safari vehicles and are required on light aircraft, usually with a limit of 15 kg including hand luggage.
Colours
Khaki, olive and beige are ideal. Avoid dark blue and black, which attract tsetse flies, and avoid camouflage prints.
For Kilimanjaro
Add a warm sleeping bag, down jacket, waterproof shell, thermal layers, gloves, a warm hat, head torch and trekking poles. Much of this can be rented in Arusha.
Plastic bags
Single-use plastic bags are banned in Tanzania. Leave them at home.
