Packing List

Ok so time to get down to the nitty gritty... what do I pack for 2 weeks in South Africa?! This is probably the most daunting question of all, especially because for the most part we will be camping and will need to bring minimal luggage in order to transport all of it easily. We will get to do laundry once during this time period, which will be extremely helpful but the question still stands: what exactly do I need/not need? Since I have never been to South Africa, I cannot safely answer this question and will probably not know everything that would have been useful until I arrive and experience it myself! However, I can show you the packing list set for me by Dr. Fore with some annotations as to what I personally am bringing along. Without further ado:

Less than 2 weeks away?!

Yo, yo, yo diggity yo! Long time no post. Sorry, things have been getting pretty crazy in both school and life recently with finals encroaching and projects mounding. However, I think a South Africa update is needed because the trip is officially less than 2 weeks away! 13 DAYS, that's right folks, 13 days until I'm hugging hippos and frolicking with felines in South Africa! This post is going to include a lot of general information that I have neglected to tell you so far. First off, here's a link to a super neat Buzzfeed article that dictates all the wondrous possibilities of a South African vacation experience!
