Packing list East Africa: you have to take this with you

You're going on an adventure in East Africa, and what should absolutely not be missing from your luggage? Your tourist-proof khaki safari hat, a handy pair of binoculars, and of course, your malaria pills? Yes, yes, and yes! But that's certainly not all. To make sure you don't forget anything important, we've put together a handy and complete packing list for you. Check off and pack, and you're ready for the big adventure!

A deck of cards! It can still rain sometimes, and in East Africa you can’t get a pack of cards on every corner like in the Netherlands.

The absolute essentials

Your passport
Your visa/ETA approval letter from your destination
Passport photos when you plan to cross borders (2 or 3 is enough)
Insurance card
Certificate of vaccination
Your yellow book with the necessary stamps in it!
Your debit card (don't forget to set it to 'World') and your credit card (you can almost always pay with it everywhere)
Your phone. (well, in case you forget)
Mosquito repellent
Sunscreen
