  • Remember to take malaria pills with you. I noticed that there in fact are mosquitoes even in the city center. I even spotted one inside the National Gallery. I forgot to take mine, luckily didn't get malaria, though..

  • Are you planning to send post cards? You may need some addresses you don't use on a daily basis. Just a thought.

  • If you're like me, you tell time not by a wrist watch or the position of the sun, but by my mobile phone. Well I couldn't get a mobile phone signal in either Zambia or Botswana, so leaving my phone on caused the battery to die much quicker (usually my mobile phone battery lasts about a week -- but there is lasted about 8 hours because it was constantly searching for a signal!)

  • duh! The sun is hot in Africa. I usually don't burn much, but down here it's definitely possible. The South Africans recommend at least SPF 30.

    Just in case! Your laptop will not fit in the hotel room safe, and theft is high in Africa.

    This one pictured I bought in Botswana. It's a good one because I can plug American stuff and European stuff into it.
