What to Pack
Between April and October the days are generally sunny and warm. Early morning and nights can be cold between May and September and cold snaps can occur during the mid-winter months. However the dry winter months are absolutely perfect for riding and game viewing is at its best.
We strongly recommend the use of neutral-colour clothing (khaki, brown, beige and green) that blends in with the bush (no brightly coloured or white clothing).
- Swimming Costume
- Jodhpurs or riding trousers.
- Short riding boots or ride/walk boots such as Ariat Terrain.
- Half chaps.
- Long sleeved shirt and/or T shirts,
- Fleece.
- Underwear - cycling shorts are ideal for long days in the saddle.
- Waterproof/windproof jacket.
- Sun hat.
- Casual clothes for evening.
- Trainers or comfortable shoes for evening.
- Head torch
- Personal toiletries.
- Sun block.
- Lip balm.
- Camera, film, batteries and binoculars.
Riding hats are not mandatory. However, we strongly recommend that you always ride in a hat and that it conforms to BHS requirements (PAS015, BSEN1384). Riding without a hat could affect a claim on insurance. Riding hats are absolutely essential for children under 18 and must be worn by everyone when playing polocrosse or jumping the cross country course.
