Suggested Packing List

Luggage
There is a 15 kilogram luggage limit on the internal flights within Kenya. More formal clothing is very rarely needed and a fast laundry service is offered at Rekero. Ladies underwear is not washed in camp but washing powder is provided in the tents for hand washing. A reasonable amount of additional camera equipment is acceptable and we do insist on a soft holdall (approximately 80cm long by 35cm wide) rather than hard framed suitcases, for ease of carriage by both vehicle and light aircraft.
