Packing List
Clothing
It is unnecessary to pack excessive clothing because laundry services are provided daily. Three changes of clothes are perfectly adequate for any length of stay.
Our suggested list of clothing:
Four shirts—two long-sleeved and two short-sleeved (olive green or dark khaki)
Two long trousers
Two walking shorts
Light-weight hunting jacket
Light to medium jacket
Light raincoat
Four sets of underwear
Sweater or Sweatshirt
“Boonie” hat or other such wide-brimmed hat
Six pairs medium socks
Two pairs walking shoes
One pair of lodge slippers
One pair of gloves
Note: If you are prone to sore feet, heavier socks and a pair of sturdier hunting boots are advisable. Whatever your choice, shoe or boot, the soles should be made of rubber without lugs or cleats so that you can move quietly while stalking and tracking game. Dark-colored boots/shoes are recommended, NOT WHITE!
