The Okavango Delta in Botswana, Hwange National Park, Victoria Falls and the one-of-a-kind Matobas in Zimbabwe. If this will be your first safari in Africa in these destinations, it is advisable to have a guide because these places boast of thick wildlife which you cannot experience without someone telling you what to look for and where. Also, it takes quite a bit of time to cover these four destinations and experience them in their entirety so make sure you have a lot of it before you plan to go here.

Kenya safari and Uganda Gorilla Trekking: This safari is one of the best choices for people who love an on-foot adventure with a DIY feel to it.

Namibia and Botswana: The two opposites: If variety is what you seek, then a safari that combines Namibia and Botswana is where you want to go. While one is a desert and other, a delta, the two places could not be more opposite of each other regarding the geography and more like each other when it comes to the variety of wildlife they have.

Zambezi Valley: Located in Zambia, the Zambezi Valley is the storehouse of raw nature and decadent wildlife. There are a lot of hippopotamuses and elephants along with a huge variety of birds. People mostly go to Namibia than Zambia which is why this place has that touch of raw wilderness. Do not miss out on the camps that are planted across the riverbank.

Now that you have some places to choose from, here is a list of a few things that you must not forget to take on the trip:

– Food: Food is a very important, and among the most critical aspects for all outdoor activities. This is mainly due to the fact that you won’t have access to your own kitchen or a regular grocery store while you are away. Your only option is packing or buying food or cooking it yourself or perhaps both. However, it is an excellent experience to cook your food while camping. However at times you might be too tired for setting up the fire, getting out utensils and taking an hour to cook your meal. In these situations, there is a good backup plan that can save you. Meals Ready to Eat (MREs) is one great option. They are different from regular canned and packaged food you receive from supermarkets. In fact MREs taste better, are healthier, and more convenient for carrying with you on your outdoor trips.

MREs come packed within hermetically sealed packages which help to prevent harmful foreign substances from getting into food packets.

Their shelf life is long, ranging from 3 days up to five years. This will help to ensure that you eat edible and healthy food.

MREs are rugged and resistant to any kind of hard impact. Therefore, you won’t need to worry about any bumps in the road affecting the quality of food that is within an MRE pack.

A majority of MRE packs also come with water cans. That way you won’t need to worry over carrying extra water for drinking after every meal.

MREs are nutrient rich. There are 1250 calories in a MRE day pack which is more than enough for making you feel energetic and full all throughout the day, which is just what you need for an outdoor trip.

Heating MREs before eating them isn’t necessary. There is a self-activated heating feature that comes with them for heating the food up instantly. Even on cold nights, you will be guaranteed to have a tasty and hot meal.

MRE day packs offer three meals to you: breakfast, lunch and dinner. These also include desserts, snacks and beverages. The MRE bags have utensils as well that can be disposed of after using them. That means you won’t have to wash dirty utensils after using them.

To summarize, MREs offer a complete food package with convenience, taste, energy, nutrition and healthy food. Any day you are not feeling in the mood to do some cooking, all you need to do is open up a MRE pack and enjoy a satisfying meal.

– A First Aid Kit: Make sure to grab a good quality, updated first aid kit with mosquito repellant and antibiotics to help treat injuries.

– A map and GPS: Roaming in the jungles becomes easier if you have these two things with you.

– Flashlights: Sometimes, the thick greenery cuts out sunlight, and it becomes completely dark when you are inside the forest even when the sun is shining brightly in the sky. Make sure you have a flashlight to find you way ahead.

We hope you have a great time in Africa!
