A rolling suitcase is the wrong bag for a safari, because small bush planes typically cap luggage around 15 kg (about 33 lb) and ask for soft, squashable bags instead of hard shells or wheels.

Always confirm the exact weight and bag rules with your safari operator before you pack.

If you travel more than twice a month and dread that first night in a strange room, save yourself the trial and error.

Luckily our room was ready by then and what a treat to stay in a princess room near the pool. We loved that we could go to Disney Springs and some of the theme parks by boat! We went fishing and roasted marshmallows every night after long days at the park!
