What to Pack for Your African Adventure

Published: 21 October 2025

Over the years, I’ve packed (and unpacked) more bags than I can count for adventures across this beautiful continent I call “home”. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that packing isn’t a one-size-fits-all when it comes to an African adventure. What you’ll need for a Cape Town or Nairobi city break is very different from a golf trip along the Garden Route or a gorilla trek in Uganda. So, let me share my personal packing notes with you, drawn from experience, a few mistakes, and plenty of “I wish I had brought that” moments.

How Ele Collection Co. Turns Plastic Waste into Something Beautiful

Published: 22 August 2025

Let’s be honest, when most of us think of plastic recycling, we imagine neat rows of colour-coded bins, trucks humming down clean suburban streets, or a blue logo stamped on a bottle. That’s not how it works in Zimbabwe - or most places in Africa.

If you are looking for someone to help you plan a trip to Africa and/or a Safari, look no further!! Choose Kirsty with Anywhere in Africa Safaris.

When we started this process, we were overwhelmed. We contacted Kirsty who immediately simplified the planning for us. She helped us with a 4-day visit to Cape Town, followed by a Safari in Kenya. She helped with flights, tours, transfers, logistics, etc.

Her tremendous communication with us throughout our journey is what set her apart. She communicated with us daily via WhatsApp and she had professional teams in place in both Cape Town and Kenya who met us with name placards at the airport and made sure we were checked in for hotels, tours, and flights before they departed us. We had an amazing trip and are so thankful we found Kirsty... Highly recommend!

Kirsty and her Anywhere in Africa Safaris organized the most memorable trip for our family as we celebrated a birthday. 

We started in South Africa staying at a couple of different safari lodges followed by some relaxation in Mozambique. The whole trip was tailored to our needs with as many consultations as we liked prior to departure and no stone was left unturned. 

The attention to detail was first class; the WhatsApp group for continual contact during our stay, the transfers between each flight at each airport, the private road transfers, the pre-warning of allergies to each lodge we stayed at, even last-minute changes….the list is endless, but this is what made the trip so effortless. 

The quality of accommodation was on a luxury like no other, all hand-picked by Kirsty. We really cannot thank Kirsty enough for making this a trip of a lifetime. We can’t wait to do it all over again one day!

She completely changed my perception of travel agents for the better! Kirsty took the time to understand exactly what we wanted out of our safari experience and tailored the entire trip to fit our needs. Every detail, from accommodations to activities, was meticulously planned, and the result was a seamless, stress-free journey. 

The logistics were flawless—flights, transfers, and excursions all went off without a hitch, which allowed us to focus entirely on enjoying the adventure. The quality of our trip exceeded all expectations. 

Each destination offered something unique, and the lodges Kirsty selected were both luxurious and perfectly located. Kirsty even included a few thoughtful surprises that made the trip feel extra special. 

Thanks to Kirsty, our African safari was a dream come true, and I can’t wait to book my next trip with her. If you’re considering a safari, look no further than Kirsty and Anywhere in Africa Safaris—you won’t regret it!

Thanks to Kirsty Gordon we had an amazing adventure in September, 2024. Based on a recommendation from a friend, we worked with Kirsty to plan a multi-country trip. Over the course of multiple video conferences, Kirsty listened to our ideas and presented multiple scenarios for us to consider.

She planned out every detail of our trip, leaving nothing to chance, including flights, lodging, tours and transfers. 

One of our highlights was gorilla trekking in Rwanda. It was a mind-blowing experience. The two Tanzanian safaris were fabulous. We concluded our trip in beautiful Cape Town, which for us was an experience not to be missed. The guides working with Kirsty were great. They were knowledgeable, friendly and easy to travel with over multiple days. 

The trip was educational and hit every one of our requirements. We can’t wait to work with Kristy again on our next African adventure!
