What to Bring on Tanzania Safari?

What to Bring on Tanzania Safari? When packing for a safari, the most important thing is moderation. While there is no need to go minimalist, you also don’t want to carry an abundance of unnecessary luggage across Africa with you.

Hence, if you bring too much luggage it could be an inconvenience or even a hindrance to wildlife viewing.
