Choose the right clothes
Backpacking for a safari is different from packing for other trips. When you travel in an open jeep, your clothes should be light and comfortable. The clothes which you pack should not be brightly-colored. Loose-fitting and comfortable clothes are the right choices. As in most cases you will start your gamer drive in the morning you may need a fleece jacket to keep warm. Layered clothing will protect you from the morning chill. Opt for long-sleeved clothes which will act as a shield against insect bites and mosquitoes. For the jungle trails, you must be equipped with strong and robust boots and thick socks.

Items which you should carry
Make sure that you include sunscreen in your packing list. Sunglasses are a must which will protect you from the scorching sun. Do not forget to carry the right medication. Predicting medical issues beforehand is not possible. Add anti-malaria tablets, antibacterial soap, and medicines to treat allergies in your first-aid kit. Add insect repellant to your list. It is a wise idea to carry a small day bag such as a tote bag in which you can carry the camera and binoculars. Carry an extra memory card for your camera so that you can capture the precious moments.

A zoom lens and dust-free case for your camera is a must. With a pair of binoculars, you will be able to observe animals that are at a distance.

Embark on a jungle safari
A jungle safari is different from other types of holidays. Backpacking for a jungle safari requires thought. Carry hats that have wide brims so that your sensitive eyes are protected. As the game driving vehicles are open or have large open roofs, you will be exposed to direct sunlight. If you have plans of camping, do not forget to carry camping gear. If you have plans of staying in the woods carry adequate food which will last during the entire stay.
