replying to @LindseyDensing @LindseyDensing @AndreaFeczko @RemOscuro @SharkDivingZA I read about that recently #travelskills BUT, Gansbaai is so gorgeous it can't hurt to hang out there a bit :)

replying to @united @united A8 Find out what the weather will be and consult a guidebook or an updated, respected website for advice. #TravelSkills

replying to @united @united A8 Since the Cape Town region has weather nearly identical to the Bay Area’s, I’d dress in layers—and be prepared for changes. #TravelSkills

A8: To pack for South Africa depends greatly on the itinerary. The small aircraft used to reach safari camps can only accommodate lightweight duffels, so I try to pack three game drive outfits and two nicer outfits for dinners (all mix-and-match, of course). #TravelSkills

A8. Packing for #SouthAfrica? A lot of notebooks. It’s a country with so many stories – some good, bad, horrific, stunning. If you don’t talk to people and get the stories, you might as well just buy a postcard and call it good. #TravelSkills #travel Photo: @qzafrica

@travelskills It depends on what the season is over there. Remember: our summer is their winter but always bring jeans/khakis, a few shirts, a jacket and sunglasses.

And no, contrary to popular thought I did NOT know that LandLopers is also a word in Afrikaans when I picked it, although I'm reminded of it by 1 gazillion people whenever I'm there LOL #travelskills

replying to @united @united TIP Create a packing list and don’t wait until the day before to pack. Start a week before so you have time to get what you need, because if you’re in the bush, there’s no @Target. #TravelSkills

A8 Wee have a post about how we pack for a safari. But when it comes to South Africa, you need to pack beach wear and clothes for a night out too. It has it all! https://t.co/4FjVNN1MuN #TravelSkills

replying to @united @united TIP For the overnight flight to Cape Town, bring your own eyemask (I prefer Bucky brand) and Mack’s silicone ear plugs (@MacksEarPlugs). Work like magic! #TravelSkills
