Equipment to Consider on a Camping Safari
Camping gear refers to the essential items individuals use to stay overnight and engage in outdoor activities, often in natural settings away from urban areas. In other words, it’s referring to the collection of camping-related equipment.
Camping equipment saves a lot of money that would otherwise be spent on hotel and lodge accommodation. Here, the traveller can sleep in a tent instead. Frequent travellers can buy their own tents or simply hire them.
Safari tents are temporary shelters made from fabric supported by a frame of poles or a rope system. You can set up a tent on the ground (ground Tents) or on the car roof (Roof Top Tents). The tents protect travellers from dangerous wild animals, sun, and rain; however, it’s important to pitch your tents on a camping ground with reasonable security.
Sleeping equipment, such as sleeping bags, mattresses, and blankets, provided warmth and comfort throughout the cool nights. It’s important to equip your self sleeping equipment that suits the nature of the place.
Kitchenware – you need to prepare food while on the camping safari. In that case, you must move with Kitchen items such as a gas cylinder (non–electric), plates, cups, knives, frying pans, a gas burner, a BBQ grill, a firebox, a cutting board, among others. Such items will enable tourists to prepare their own food and save the money they would have spent on already-prepared foods from Hotels/Restaurants.
Cool box or Freezer – during the dry season, travellers need to quench their thirst with cold drinks. Therefore, it’s important to bring a cooler box or an electric fridge to keep food and drinks ice-cold, whatever the weather.
Coffee maker – It’s an appliance that brews coffee by passing hot water through coffee grounds, extracting their flavour and oils. Most common automatic drip coffee makers have a water reservoir, a heating element, a filter basket to hold the grounds, and a carafe to collect the brewed coffee. Every cool morning and afternoon deserves a cup of tea or coffee to warm the body and keep the brain sharp for routine work.
Laundry equipment – Major laundry items needed on the safari include washers, dryers, and laundry detergents to clean clothes, along with optional items such as fabric softeners, stain removers, dryer balls, hangers, soap dish and towels, among others. Laundry equipment offers a quick solution for dirty clothes, dirty bodies, and dirty places and facilitates the cleaning of all camping items.
Portable camping furniture – This includes tables, chairs, a storage box, cup holders, camping toilets, a tent footprint, a bin-bag and so on.
Solar table Lamp – You need light, and the best option in solar table lamp, rechargeable electric lamps, torches, among others. In the wild, some remote areas can get too dark at night due to limited electric lighting.
