- Builders that went to Malawi last year wished they’d brought more snacks, so if you’re a picky eater, consider bringing some treats you love. For more snack-packing tips, check out this blog post.
- Safari Tips
- Mornings on safaris are cold, make sure you bring a light jacket! You’ll also want to bring a pair of binoculars so you can see everything.
- Bring small amounts of bug spray and sunscreen in your carry-on so you have access to them during the first-weekend sightseeing.
