Kids checklist in South Africa

  • Have you gotten all passports and travel documents ready for your children?
  • Do you have enough clothes to last the duration of your trip for them? Think about times you may need to change clothes and whether or not you will have access to a washing machine.
  • Do you have sunscreen and other sun care protection for your children? South Africa can be quite hot and is close to the ozone layer hole, so you should be wary of this.
  • Do you have correct shoes for your kids for walking and hiking? You will probably be seeing a lot of wilderness areas in South Africa so it pays to bring correct shoes.
  • Do you have some guide books and information pamphlets for your children? They may want to know about various animals in South Africa so you should have some things ready for them to read up about.
