 FUN & ADVENTURE by safardreams
camera. At least 5 rolls of film per-day!! But,
also: Your humor, sense of adventure, and
a good attitude "A MUST!" Everything else
will fall into place!!
Need boots for a walk in a dry river bed. Have
to stop and have a BEER or a GIN & TONIC!!
Laugh at and have some fun when your truck
gets stuck!! Maybe some other truck will
come by and pull you out. If not, WHO CARES! Leave a Comment

Bring your own fuel. These pictures were taken just over the border in Botswana. If you don’t feel safe transporting extra fuel in plastic containers (not recommended) then do not drive farther than your own fuel tank will allow you. Leave a Comment

 Victoria Falls by tini58de
And the same holds true for yourself, so be sure to have a good raincoat with you! And good shoes as well! Leave a Comment

Jandals (like the teva ones) are really comfy when walking in the heat.
Sun protection, especially when rafting etcetera in a sunny period. Leave a Comment

Zimbabwe is dusty in September and October, so dont expect to be too clean or to have clean shoes. I had also my mountain shoes with me, but it was too hot to wear them. I had them in Chimanimani mountains, where they were good, but the rest of the trip they were just an extra luggage I didnt need. Leave a Comment

its nice and warm in zimbabwe, shorts and light airy pants are great for safari and for visiting the falls.
a light sleeping bag/ blanket is also good.
BRING A TENT! you may not end up using it, but you dont want to end up at a backpackers place only to find out that all thier dorm rooms are full and you have no tent! :-)
well if you are taking your lariam (this means you are american) dont be fooled, you can still get malaria EVEN WHILE TAKING LARIAM! Lariam itself will only protect you against the malarial parasites only if they are in a beggining stage of developement. You well if you are taking your lariam (this means you are american) dont be fooled! you can still get malaria EVEN WHILE TAKING LARIAM! Lariam itself will only protect you against the malarial parasites only if they are in a beggining stage of developement. You CAN get bitten by a mosquito carring an advanced stage parasite and STILL GET MALARIA. (This happened to my roommate, so its first hand information). but, dont panic! if you do end up getting malaria, the local doctors have thier own medicine that should clean you up in no time!
I reccomend bringing a regular camera, i brought a digital camera when i went (all the photos on my pages were taken with that camera). And only to find myself getting shot in the foot when it came time to send the pictures home via the net. They have inetrnet cafes... but they are slow... or should i say slower than what i am used to (which would be a cable modem).
if you are camping then bring light blankets. its not really cold at night. A good idea, if you are american, would be to buy a few citronella candles (5-6) and some 'Off!' spray repelent (2 cans). Bring them outside and share them with your fellow campers... its a quick and easy way to ward of the mosi's and make some friends. Leave a Comment

Nothing specific.
Good walking shoes would help quite a bit around the falls.
The 'rain forest' around the falls is not called that for nothing due to the continuing drizzle of water spray from the falls. Anything that can help to keep you dry is advisable.
The Victoria Falls are a malaria area, so take the necessary medication and bring mosquito repellent along.
The sun is very hot so bring sun screen along.
I have doubts about the availability of batteries, etc for digital cameras. Leave a Comment

Rucksack or holdall, either will be fine, if you are okay about carrying either.
Again sturdy shoes/boots for walking safaris, and some of the tracks around Vic. Falls can get quite slippy. Also a decent set of clothes for nights out and of course for high tea at the Victoria Falls Hotel.....
Basic first aid kit, as well as insect repellant and anti-malarials - The Zambezi Valley is particularly bad. (This goes for Zambia too.)
Film isn't really a problem to get apart from rural areas and Vic. falls! Even if you can get the film that you want in Vic. Falls it is often very overpriced, so it is best to take enough to cover your stay there.
A mosquito net for sleeping outdoors .
A waterbottle is a must, particularly for the walking safaris. The rhino walk in Matobo NP can get very hot, as can the ones in Matusodona. Leave a Comment
