     3 days supply of clothing will be needed. Our staff will clean
     and press your clothes daily. If you have two pairs of boots the
     spare set will be polished.
     If touring, we will be going from place to place. One set of
     clothes for each day is recommended.

     Q: What type of clothing is recommended?

     A: A well broken in pair of boots with hard, moderately aggressive
     soles. Ankle height is most common. Clothing should be light weight
     easy breathing material. Typical cotton safari clothing will work best.
     A hat is a must, either a cap or wide brimmed hat will provide
     protection from the sun.
