Helpful advice provided by Roy's Safari
Some of the things you should bring are: cool-light clothing for the day and something warm for the evenings. (You will be spending a night in Ngorongoro where temperatures at night sometimes drop to about 7 degrees Celsius). In addition, it is advisable to carry insect repellent, sunglasses, suntan lotion, some form of antihistamine cream and other personal toiletry requirements.
Of course, you will want to capture much of Tanzania's wildlife, so don't forget a camera, batteries and film. A medium range telephoto lens will be found useful as will a pair of binoculars. In case you're bringing any electrical equipment, the electricity is 220v.
Loss of luggages: Sometimes owing to short connections times or delays caused from your origin flight-bagages get delayed and we run into problems. Now I would suggest you do the following:
a). Carry a hand luggage with your essentials such as toleitries, medicines, camera and a set of clothes change.
b). If your baggage is lost-please clearly mention on Baggage Irregularity form-your duration of stay in Tanzania and contact details (these are of roy safaris for the period you will be with us).
Please bring a copy of your medical travelling insurance.
