Hope you find this video useful for your future trips.
Just heads up on what's coming up on the channel, the New Zealand Road Trip series will be starting next week, then I'll be editing the Sri Lanka trip, and I'm just about to start filming a week long Ireland campervan road trip.
Lots to look forward to! 🙂

We are going to Tanzania but we are going to an Indian wedding (with multiple events) aswell as a safari so I need to pack a lot 😅😅😊
Amazing video!! Thank you
Small flashlight or head lamp for camp (particularly if electricity goes out at night), Wall socket adapters for local power outlets – your charger and electronics will be bricks if you cannot connect to local power. Closed toe should are much better than flip-flops or open toed sandals when scorpions are around. If you are going on guided night drives (and you should, as nocturnal animals are hard to see during the day!!!) a powerful flashlight that can cast a strong beam for a couple of hundred yards for an hour or two is fantastic! I recently upgraded to a Fenix LR40R – v2.0 and I love that monster! Do your research – there are plenty of similar options from other manufacturers. Don't blind the animals. with a crazy strong spot beam, but a powerful flood beam is ideal.
I would disagree that a telephone is sufficient for a camera. On my last safari, my daughter and I were the only ones with cameras, and everybody else were relying on their phones. They were quite disappointed that they could not really take pictures of animals that were not very close. We with our cameras can zoom right in on animals that were way across the field.
this was very useful, thank you very much. So helpful!
Thank you!
Going to Kenya in September for a 9 day safari. SO much useful info!
Great video!
what binoculars would you recommend?
Awesome video and tips about the clothing items. I am definitely traveling light. We are going to South Africa and other coutnries including Zimbabwe, will a 2-wheel soft sided luggage be feasible to use like an Eagle Creek Expanse 2Wheeled International Carryon Bag (21.5") or Expanse 2-Wheel 21.25" Convertible International Carry-On Luggage as a carry-on? I also have an Osprey Daylite Large Tote Pack as my personal item. The rationale behind the 2-wheeled soft sided luggage is so that I can preserve my back from lifting to much weight (I am petite under 5').
Great advice! We are doing charter flights to hop between Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and Kilimanjaro and they are really strict about their advice on luggage weight and make! I did the same thing at Etosha and Namib Naukluft a decade ago but I couldn't remember them being that strict. As for the colours, there is some truth to it but it doesn't apply everywhere. You can wear clothing of any colour for the most part since you'd be in vehicles. However, it's advisable to wear earthy ones when you are doing a hiking safari. It is also not advisable to wear dark blue during the day in areas with high incidence of trypanosomiasis (as transmitted by tsetse flies).
❤ Great video
On our safari we brought laundry detergent in sheet form and hand washed as needed 😊
I'm a kenya but I enjoyed every moment
8:11 please be respectul to your audience, who asked you for your underwear, until you say pervert. But you showed the underwear in Zanzibar.
Love this video – AND thoroughly smiling on my face as I get hit by all the adverts before and throughout. Keep these videos coming. We'll watch them. Give us those Youtube ads!!
I've so appreciated watching your honeymoon New Zealand videos as I'm planning a big 8 week trip in October and November bringing my mom in her late 60s along. I went to New Zealand back in 2011 as a 21 year old backpacker and I've always wanted to go back. Your videos were so great I've now been slowly watching all of your backlogs – a little randomly, I've just gone through the Iceland. Fantastic channel!
Did you guys notice the terrified look on Karl's face when Jamie said to not bring jewellery but instead buy something local? 😆 I had that expense, umm experience.
Is like this vídeo knew what I was thinking about 😂😂😂
I was going to start planning a future trip to a Safari, and bum this shows!
Now to watch your Africa series!
Dirty cubes mean great memories Karl #filthy
Jamie is a natural at this! Also thanks for mentioning the thing about safari colours not being necessary lol – I just got back from my second safari and it was my partner’s first, and she was very amused at all the people we encountered at the park gates etc who were all dressed the same. It was like everyone else got some dress code memo that we didn’t get 🤣
Absolutely positively fantastic
Thank you🤩! Jamie you are making the video really fun 😂.
Let"s gooooo!!!❤❤❤
Love the packing cubes. Just ordered some from my husband and me. Also, hooked on your videos. We watch them on TV. Now I need to go through on computer so we can like them all.
Love it!!! Live the idea of leaving jewellery and dressing bits home and buy out there!!! Top top tip Jamie ❤
You and Jamie are so funny. 😂 can not wait for the Honeymoon tour🎉. Thanks Karl. No matter the topic, it's always interesting and entertaining. 😊
8:04 'NO, u don't get to see Jamie's underwear, PERVS'

Came for the info, stayed for the adorableness!
If you are travelling to an area where tsetse flies live, don't wear blue or black. They are attracted to these colors and their bite can leave a welt! That's from personal experience!
I am just here to see your wife's smile….its a dundee 🥰
🙂Thank You Karl & Jaime 🙂❤💙👍from the Province of NB Canada👍Looking forward to New Zealand and Seeing some Hobbit Homes👍Safe Travels👍
Always loved your style of showing the world Karl! 🎉
Ahh! This is Jamie’s official video as a youtuber??
Excellent job!
I also made my husband use packing cubes to maintain marital harmony 🤭
Maybe don't recommend using DEET?? If the bugs are so unbearable you probably shouldn't be going….the whole ecosystems you are so desperate to see are dependent on those insects.
CONGRATS GUYS! Absolutely love the Safari ❤
I really need a husband I'm from uganda come and we enjoy the safari together , come and taste the sweetness of uganda the pearl of Africa 🌍🇺🇬😊
😂😂😂to the pervert comment lol
I like safari
I definitely want to do a safari one day. Actually I’d love to go on a trip with your group one day because everyone looks so fun to me❤
