Hopefully you’ll find my Africa packing list helpful if you need to figure out what to pack for a similar trip. I actually packed slightly more than usual because I’m not planning to do any washing while we’re away.

There’ll be plenty of posts from this adventure coming your way in the New Year. Enjoy the festive season!
