The list
Six things, none of them expensive, and the first two are the ones guests thank themselves for.
Sunglasses matter because there is no windscreen on a quad and the track gets dusty. Something over your neck matters for the same reason.
- Sunglasses
- A bandana or something for your neck
- Sun protection
- Comfortable clothes you do not mind getting dirty
- Comfortable, closed shoes
- Water, if you like having your own
What you do not need to bring
A helmet. One is provided, included in the price and worn for the whole safari — bringing your own is not necessary and not expected.
Nothing else is required equipment. If a list somewhere tells you to bring gloves, goggles or protective gear for this tour, that list is not ours.
Phones and cameras — the honest version
You can bring one. Whether you want to is a different question: you will have both hands on the controls for most of the ride, and the environment is dust and vibration.
If you do bring a phone, put it somewhere it cannot fall out, and take your photographs at a standstill rather than one-handed at speed. We would rather say that plainly than pretend the question does not come up.
A spare shirt is not a silly idea
Especially if you have plans straight afterwards. Off-road means dust, and on some days mud and water as well. Nothing about that is guaranteed either way, but it is why the what-to-wear advice on this site is what it is.
A towel in the bag falls into the same category: rarely essential, occasionally the best thing you brought.
