So what to pack for South Africa? Yes, my next trip will be to the great country of South Africa. I love the country. The variety of the stunning nature makes it a must-see destination. I will be going on safari and hitting both Cape Town and Johannesburg, so will have to pack strategically. Here are a few things that I will be packing for my very exciting trip.
Rabens Saloner Aysha Kimono
Perfect to cover up your skin during the safari nights to avoid mosquito bites and perfect for a trip to Camps Bay in Cape Town
Communitie Cooked Surfer Hat
I always cover my face when exposed to the sun and this hat will do the trick
ATP Atelier Rosa Black Vacchetta
Great sandals for urban exploration in Johannesburg or Cape Town
Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee
A well-written book by the South African author J.M. Coetzee highlighting some of the issues of the country and it is definitely worth a re-read
Ahlem Eyewear St. Martin
Ideal size sunglasses for the scorching African sun
Nuori Vital Body Balm
The body balm from the Danish organic skincare brand Nuori is a favourite of mine
Vichy Soleil Anti-Sand Milk SPF 50+
Sunscreen and sandy beaches are the worst combo, but this sunscreen is supposed to be extra easy for removing any sand from your body
Excellent Pro OBH Nordica
I have thick hair and lots of it, so I need a pro tool for the hair. This hairdryer is lighter and great for travelling, and the high power shortens the drying time. Go, just go
Karmameju Body Scrub More 03
One of my favourite scrubs comes in a smaller travel size
Aesop Hwyl Eau de Parfum
New perfume from Aesop with lots of inspiration from nature and ideal for a splash or two on my body before a sundowner
La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL Ultra-Light
I always go for SPF 50+. This is one of my favourites, as it is light, non-sticky and comes in a small convenient size
ghd Platinum Styler
My hair gets frizzy, especially if it is in warmer, humid climates. This is one of my best friends, a lifesaver to be honest. I always pack it no matter where I go
