Recommendations for gifts include clothes and stationery for their children’s schoolwork such as books, pens and pencils. 
• We will spend two nights camping in Moremi National Park from day 16 – day 18. You must pack an overnight bag/pack for these nights as your luggage will stay in Maun. The campsite is basic with private outdoor bathroom facilities (bucket shower).

We suggest that you bring a torch along with you to help navigate the campsite at night. There is no power supply so please ensure your batteries are fully charged before arrival. 
• As we cross into Zambia to complete the Victoria Falls Bridge walk on day 23, please ensure you take your passport. There are no visa requirements. You can take a small backpack/shoulder bag onto the bridge to allow you to store any valuables as well as your passport safely. Please note you will be required to wear a harness, so pants or shorts are recommended.
