PACKING LIST
World Big Cat Safaris recommends that you dress modestly whenever travelling abroad; it is always better to blend in with the local population rather than sticking out like a soar thumb both for safety reasons and also so that you can truly appreciate the people and culture that you are part of during your journey.
Travellers may have their own preferences but please bear in mind our suggestions below:
