Please use the below as a packing guideline.

• Clothing – do not pack too much:
  • Swimming gear: towel, sarong, and swimwear
  • Outerwear: Anorak or windbreaker for summer; tracksuit for cooler winter nights
  • Headwear: Cap or wide brimmed hat for sun protection; woollen hat or beanie for winter nights
  • Sun Protection: Long-sleeved shirt with a collar
  • Footwear: Closed shoes or booties for the river (aqua shoes or Crocs works well); dry shoes for evenings (flipflops or sandals are sufficient, so you only need one pair)
  • Gloves: For sun protection

• Camping gear for nights on the river:
  • Tent: Lightweight and essential (to protect from wind and insects). Tent pegs are not needed on sandy spots; use rocks to secure the corners.
  • Cutlery & Crockery: Plate, bowl, mug, knife, fork, spoon, teaspoon, and dishcloth
  • Sleeping Surface: Yoga mat, inflatable mattress (hand pump required as no power available), and ground sheet
  • Sleeping Gear: Sleeping bag and pillow
  • Folding Chairs: Optional

• Securing your gear:
  • Ropes/Straps: For attaching cooler, barrel and additional items to the boat

• Beverages & Snacks:
  • Special Dietary Needs: Replacement food if you have specific dietary requirements
  • Water: There is no drinkable water at base camp or on the river. Pack at least 2 litters of bottled water or nonalcoholic beverages per day. Freezing some of your water is recommended to keep it cold throughout your trip.
  • Snacks: Consider packing dried fruit, biltong, dry sausage, peanuts, chocolate bars, Super C, and jelly babies. Be aware that some meats may be restricted for entry into Namibia, so check border regulations before traveling
