What Type of Safari are You going on?

The first thing to think about when you begin delving into the vast world of safari bags is what type of safari you are actually going to be going on. Different types of bags will be more suited for different types of safari, and the season you will be traveling.

If you are traveling across Africa in the rainy season, you will want to make waterproofing a priority. If you are a wildlife photographer and have a lot of equipment, you will want to ensure that your safari bags will provide adequate protection against dust and the elements.

Luxury travelers may want to ensure they have a fashionable yet durable bag that looks the part at their remote bush camp, while backpackers opting for cheaper safaris may want to have a more practical hiking or duffel bag to cope with the stress of long-distance, overland travel.

Practicality vs Style

Practicality vs style then is another important consideration to make. There are a lot of classic, leather-bound carry bags on the market that wouldn’t look out of place in the late Victorian era, and while they might look stylish, you might want to determine if it is the best fit for you.

Some of the most practical bags, however, won’t look the most stylish, but you can find some quality safari bags produced by outdoor companies as kit bags, that are suitable for almost anything.

Colour and aesthetics, while they may seem trivial, can be an important part of the buying process. Many bags that are specifically aimed at safari-goers may be brown, beige or green in color, to almost blend in with the classic safari environment.

Some travelers though, find it is more practical to have a brightly colored bag that they can actually find quickly amongst piles of other luggage when traveling by bus or plane.

Size Considerations

The size of your chosen safari bags will come down to a number of factors, but the most important thing to note is that your luggage needs to be suitable for air travel.

Likely, you will arrive at your destination via air, and if you are planning on visiting remote, luxury camps in the African savannah, then getting there will generally involve flying in small, charter aircraft that are very restricted by weight and size requirements.

Don’t overpack, and make sure your luggage fits the airline requirements. If you travel light and hand luggage only, then ensure your backpack or duffel is in line with ever-changing airline restrictions.

If you are planning on traveling overland as part of your safari, or are planning it as part of a wider trip, then you may want to choose a bag that is easy to carry around, that can fit in luggage compartments, or that you can easily walk around with.

Again, the size will depend on your individual requirements, but just remember, when you are on safari, it’s always best to pack light.

Material and Durability

The material that your safari bags are constructed from can make the difference between a terrible bag and a bag that will last you a lifetime of traveling.

You may want to invest in a waterproof bag , or at the very least be able to attach a rain cover to the outside, particularly if it is a backpack that you might be walking around with.

Luxury travelers may want to invest in specialized leather or canvas bags that not only look the part at your safari lodge in the wilderness but that will also be water-resistant and durable.

In the long run, unless this is a one-off trip, you will be better off investing money into quality products that will last. You don’t want your bag falling apart mid-flight, or on the taxi ride out of the airport, after all, you want it to last a lifetime.

Bag straps are another important aspect that you don’t want to overlook. If you are just traveling from one point to the next then you might be fine with just a holdall that you can pick up with one handle.

If you are hiking, backpacking or walking around a lot, then you’ll want to make sure your safari bags have adequate support, be it comfortable back straps, or even waist or chest straps to take the weight off your shoulders.

Many kit bags now come with a versatile number of straps, allowing you to instantly transform your handheld duffel bag into a backpack or a single strap, shoulder-worn bag.

You will also want to look at the number of pockets and different compartments that your bag has. If you purchase a basic duffel or kit bag, then the number of compartments is usually restricted to one open space, which can be fine if you aren’t too fussy.

If you want to separate your dirty laundry and your wet towels from your fresh, clean clothes, then this isn’t going to be an ideal situation.

As well as separate compartments you may also want safari bags that allow you space and different pockets for being organized. For instance, you may want pockets for toiletries, for your chargers and batteries, for your passport, or for your socks. The opportunities are quite endless really.

Best Types of Safari Bags and Product Recommendations

There is a great selection of safari bags out on the market right now, catering to all budgets, styles, designs, and needs. Here are a few of the most versatile types of bags to think about selecting for your trip, and a few specific product recommendations too.

Duffel Bags

Duffel bags and kit bags are great all-rounders that are perfect for the frugal traveler on a budget , making multiple, and varied trips each year. Modern kit bags can be incredibly versatile, with waterproofing, different outside straps that can be arranged to carry the bag how you feel is best or most appropriate for the situation, and a high level of resilience. 

Some of the best are made by outdoor companies and can come in many different capacities, from 40 liters up to 120 liters. The North Face makes excellent, quality, and great value kit bags, as do Rab , Mountain Warehouse and increasingly, many more well known outdoor brands too.

Hiking Bags

Hiking bags are another fantastic, versatile choice that has long been the favored luggage-style of backpackers across the world. They can make for perfect safari bags, particularly if you are planning on hiking, or have an extended trip that will also take you on other adventures too.

Hiking bags come in many different sizes, with large capacities suitable for remote expeditions and small capacities which can make for perfect day hiking bags and carry-ons when flying.

Hiking bags have the added bonus of being designed for the outdoors, and if you pick a quality brand, you can also get lifetime warranties on your kit.

Osprey is a favorite amongst travelers, and they offer not only excellent hiking bags but also hybrid bags that cater to backpackers. Great examples are the Osprey Farpoint or the Osprey Transporter .

While you can get incredibly cheap hiking bags from sports outlets, it’s also best to invest in a quality product, with guarantees and reputation if you want it to last.

Vintage Bags

Some of the most popular safari bags amongst luxury travelers or short terms holidaymakers are vintage bags. Not only do they look the part, but the best ones are made of quality leather or canvas, that is rugged, durable and able to stand up to the harsh requirements of the savannah while also looking great in the city.

Classic style safari bags are not for everyone, however, and they will be limited as to the variety and diversity of travel situations that they are handy in, but if you want a fashionable way to carry your luggage, then these are the bags for your safari.

Essential guide to safari backpacks and bags

Table of Contents

Introduction

When it comes to embarking on a safari adventure, one of the most important things to consider is the type of backpack or bag you will bring along. Safari backpacks and bags are specifically designed to meet the unique needs of travelers in the African wilderness. They offer durability, functionality, and comfort, allowing you to carry all your essential items while exploring the stunning landscapes and observing the incredible wildlife. In this essential guide, we will delve into the world of safari backpacks and bags, exploring the different types, features, and considerations to help you choose the perfect companion for your safari journey.

Types of Safari Backpacks and Bags

When it comes to safari backpacks and bags, there are several different types to choose from, each offering its own set of features and advantages. Let’s take a closer look at some of the most popular options:

• Daypacks: Daypacks are small backpacks that are perfect for carrying your essentials during short excursions or game drives. They typically have a capacity of around 20-30 liters and feature multiple compartments for organizing your belongings.
• Backpacks: Backpacks are the go-to choice for longer safaris or camping trips. They offer larger capacities, ranging from 40-70 liters, and are designed to distribute the weight evenly across your back, providing maximum comfort and support.
• Duffel Bags: Duffel bags are a popular choice for travelers who prefer a more casual and versatile option. They offer ample storage space and are often made from durable materials such as canvas or nylon.
• Trolley Bags: Trolley bags are a convenient option for those who prefer not to carry their luggage on their backs. They feature wheels and a retractable handle, allowing you to easily roll them along uneven terrain.

Features to Consider

When choosing a safari backpack or bag, there are several important features to consider to ensure that it meets your specific needs and requirements. Here are some key features to keep in mind:

• Material: Look for backpacks and bags that are made from durable and water-resistant materials such as nylon or canvas. This will help protect your belongings from the elements and ensure the longevity of your bag.
• Comfort: Comfort is crucial, especially if you will be carrying your backpack for extended periods. Look for padded shoulder straps, adjustable waist belts, and back ventilation systems to ensure a comfortable fit.
• Capacity: Consider the amount of gear and personal items you will need to carry during your safari. Choose a backpack or bag with a suitable capacity to accommodate all your essentials.
• Organization: Look for backpacks and bags with multiple compartments and pockets to help you stay organized. This will make it easier to access your belongings and prevent them from getting lost or damaged.
• Security: Safaris often involve traveling to remote and wild areas, so it’s important to choose a backpack or bag with reliable security features. Look for options with lockable zippers and hidden pockets to keep your valuables safe.

Additional Considerations

In addition to the features mentioned above, there are a few other factors to consider when choosing a safari backpack or bag:

• Weight Restrictions: Some safari camps and lodges have weight restrictions for luggage due to limited transportation capacities. Make sure to check the weight restrictions before choosing a backpack or bag.
• Weather Conditions: Depending on the time of year and the specific location of your safari, you may encounter different weather conditions. Consider choosing a backpack or bag that is suitable for the prevailing climate.
• Personal Preferences: Ultimately, your personal preferences and travel style should also play a role in your decision. Consider factors such as aesthetics, brand reputation, and additional features that may be important to you.

Choosing the right safari backpack or bag is essential for a comfortable and enjoyable safari experience. Whether you opt for a daypack, backpack, duffel bag, or trolley bag, make sure to consider the material, comfort, capacity, organization, and security features. Additionally, take into account any weight restrictions, weather conditions, and personal preferences to find the perfect companion for your safari adventure. With the right backpack or bag by your side, you’ll be well-equipped to explore the wonders of the African wilderness and create memories that will last a lifetime.

The Best 10 L Backpack Brands and Styles

A daypack is typically used for any outdoor activity that requires a little more gear than what you are able to just fit into the pockets of the clothes you are wearing. This could include a couple of water bottles or hydration bladder. They aren’t necessarily meant for longer trips because they will not be able to hold a sufficient amount of gear you may need for a longer trip.

When choosing the right daypack, there are several considerations to make including what kind of activity you will be participating in, the capacity you need, the features you need for stability and comfort, as well as the way the backpack will fit according to your size and stature.

10 L backpacks (also known as travel backpacks, carry-on backpacks, day bags, and daypacks) are suitable for running, a short climbing or hiking trip , or cycling. If you are a runner or hiker than you may also want to consider hydration capabilities of the backpack, and you will also want a lightweight option that will not weigh you down but can also provide the quick access you need as well as enough storage pockets for your smaller incidentals. Additional features, such as handy zippers, a hip belt, a rain cover, and a hydration bladder, are helpful but not essential.

For cycling and mountain biking, you may want to consider a backpack with a more compact and low-profile design so that it is lightweight but is also stable. It should also be able to accommodate gear you may need including bike tools.

One response.

The problem with a lot of backpacks no matter their size or even exactly what they are for is that certain ones have very good designs as far as comfort but then they might not have the best design for carrying items. The ones which have a good design regarding the compartments, don’t have a good design for comfort. The ones that have a good design for practicality do not have a good design for versatility. Bookbags tend to have a good design in that they have a main compartment that opens wide with zippers that go from side to side and often they are two way zippers which is really a plus and they often have a smaller compartment that opens vertically which is much better than compartments that open vertically. But then book bags tend NOT to have shoulder straps that are breathable like with certain hiking backpacks : Also book bags tend not to have sternum straps and waist straps.

There are other examples I could provide about backpacks, rucksacks, hiking packs etc all which have one or more good features but lacks the feature of another.

Of course it depends on what you are going to do, travel for a few days, commute to work or school, etc. It depends on how long you intend to stay away, what you will need, only one change of clothes for an overnight stay, or maybe a weeks worth of socks and underwear because you won’t always have access to laundry facilities where you are going, and you may need a good amount of toiletries, soap a few toothbrushes and shaving razors because where you will be staying there aren’t any convenience stores nearby. etc etc. Different scenarios. However unless you need one of those kinds of backpacks that have hard stiff frames on them, it is useful that a backpack be pack able itself and is lightweight though made of rugged-as possible material.

The North Face has a good book bag that is very roomy and largely because its zipper opens in a way to allow greater opening of the main compartment and it has a long vertical-opening smaller compartment. However its shoulder straps would feel horrible on a hot day. There is one small 18 LIter pack from REI (Recreational Equipment Inc), which is excellent for its shoulder straps which are made of strong rugged mesh material reinforced with banding on the sides that is ruggedly sewn on. (Sometimes a backpack has mesh shoulder straps that are made of flimsy weak-textured material). and of course when you are hiking or walking shoulder straps should provide ventilation. It is true when you use any kind of backpack but it is actually odd that book bags rarely have shoulder straps that are breathable. But the REI 18 liter backpack is designed so that there is only one main compartment and it opens from the top like a laundry bag with a rope or string sewn at the hem that you tighten. It would not open as wide as a backpack with a zipper that goes from side to side and another thing is that it has only one compartment, no smaller compartments attached so that you can put your wallet and keys or other small items in the smaller compartment and be able to reach for them when you have to catch a bus and pull out your fare or ticket. Such a backpack is good if you are carrying tings that you won’t use until you get to your destination. Designers of backpacks should realize that probably most people have to reach for items from their back packs “pockets” all the time. Also there is a need for small and large pack-able backpacks to be water resistant to protect your belongings inside them.

If only some good hybrids of book-bags and backpack, and pack-able day-pack were made.

Title : Active carbons as nanoporous materials for solving of environmental problems

However, up to now, the main carriers of catalytic additives have been mineral sorbents: silica gels, alumogels. This is obviously due to the fact that they consist of pure homogeneous components SiO2 and Al2O3, respectively. It is generally known that impurities, especially the ash elements, are catalytic poisons that reduce the effectiveness of the catalyst. Therefore, carbon sorbents with 5-15% by weight of ash elements in their composition are not used in the above mentioned technologies. However, in such an important field as a gas-mask technique, carbon sorbents (active carbons) are carriers of catalytic additives, providing effective protection of a person against any types of potent poisonous substances (PPS). In ESPE “JSC "Neorganika" there has been developed the technology of unique ashless spherical carbon carrier-catalysts by the method of liquid forming of furfural copolymers with subsequent gas-vapor activation, brand PAC. Active carbons PAC have 100% qualitative characteristics of the three main properties of carbon sorbents: strength - 100%, the proportion of sorbing pores in the pore space – 100%, purity - 100% (ash content is close to zero). A particularly outstanding feature of active PAC carbons is their uniquely high mechanical compressive strength of 740 ± 40 MPa, which is 3-7 times larger than that of  such materials as granite, quartzite, electric coal, and is comparable to the value for cast iron - 400-1000 MPa. This allows the PAC to operate under severe conditions in moving and fluidized beds.  Obviously, it is time to actively develop catalysts based on PAC sorbents for oil refining, petrochemicals, gas processing and various technologies of organic synthesis.

Victor M. Mukhin was born in 1946 in the town of Orsk, Russia. In 1970 he graduated the Technological Institute in Leningrad. Victor M. Mukhin was directed to work to the scientific-industrial organization "Neorganika" (Elektrostal, Moscow region) where he is working during 47 years, at present as the head of the laboratory of carbon sorbents.     Victor M. Mukhin defended a Ph. D. thesis and a doctoral thesis at the Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia (in 1979 and 1997 accordingly). Professor of Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia. Scientific interests: production, investigation and application of active carbons, technological and ecological carbon-adsorptive processes, environmental protection, production of ecologically clean food.
