How to survive the flight to Ruaha National Park?
Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips that will get your Ruaha National Park holiday started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's simple --- first, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good idea.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Ruaha National Park?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Ruaha National Park a pleasure. Read through our handy hints for a swift journey past security:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
  • Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
