As we will sleep in "bivouac" in tents, I guess I won't have any electricity to recharge my camera. Therefore I took lots of batteries and bought a huge memory card. I will treat all my clothes with a special product against the mosquitos. However I am a bit tensed, since I am scared of little animals like spiders, scorpios !!!! I guess the organisator will have evrything for our tents to feel safe sleeping by night. Have you any tips for our clothes to be safe : should we put them in plastic bags? Anything else I should know? thank you very much for your great advice -:) Florence My blog http://www.travelblog.org/Bloggers/florencesophie DakotaLady dakota Post Count: 4 Msg: #2 205 days ago, December 13th 2007 | sun screen!!!! I am not experienced with tenting in TZ. If you are concerned for safe clothes, line your bags with plastic bag or use zipper vinyl organizers. Megellans has them Google search for less expensive if cost is an issue | dakota sherlocm Mark Sherlock Post Count: 1 Msg: #3 201 days ago, December 17th 2007 | Hi, I have camped in Tanzania a number of times of a 4 month period I spent in Tanzania two years ago. I was rather dissappointed with the amount of small insects etc that I saw while camping... there is alot more in central america/asia. So, You should be fine, as long as your check your tent when your getting into it at night. Your clothes will be fine, just shake them out before you put anything one and check your shoes before you put them on.. thats it really, you'll have great time! Northern TZ is beautiful... so nice i'm also heading abck in a few weeks! Enjoy!! | florencesophie florence Post Count: 2 Msg: #4 201 days ago, December 17th 2007 | Thanks a lot to both of you I really appreciate your time to help me feel mor secure -:) | Florence Number of Users: 3 | Number of Posts: 4 | ||||||||||||
