Your trip down to Clarens is fast approaching and it’s time to start packing your bags. If you’re visiting Clarens for the first time, it might be overwhelming trying to gather everything you might need for the trip. To ensure you can ease into your holiday with all the essentials packed in, we’ve put together some of the items you should remember to pack.
Pack Clothing for Every Weather Condition
It’s no secret the weather in Clarens is like that of the Cape. With the conditions changing all the time, you are bound to experience all four seasons in one day. To make sure you have clothing for every condition, we recommend you pack in light clothing for during the day and sufficient warm clothing should it get cooler and move into the evening.
Ensure You Have Packed in Comfortable Clothing for Your Activities
There’s also a whole host of activities for you to enjoy while you’re here so be sure to pack in comfortable clothing and shoes for when you’re out and about. From the annual Ficksburg Cherry Festival, the brewery, hot air balloon rides and outdoor activities, we have it all! If we don’t host the activity ourselves, we’ll be sure to put you in contact with the relevant people.
Create A Travel Pouch for Yourself
This pouch should house all your important documentation relating to your travels. If you’re travelling from out of time, you can use this pouch to store any flight information and of course, your accommodation booking, your identification documents and your driver’s license. The pouch should also include any medical aid information as well as your contact information.
As a safety precaution, create a duplicate of this travel pouch and keep it in each child’s backpack. Should they go wandering off for whatever reason, they’ll be able to make their way back to you in no time.
Extra Power Supply and Battery Banks
With there being so much to do and see, the last thing you want is your camera or cell phone battery dying on you. Be sure to pack in additional power supply to keep your devices going throughout the day. If you are travelling from out of town, it’s recommended you check what power adaptor you need to use your electronics.
Clear Your Phone and Camera Memory
The sentiment is the same when it comes to the memory you have available on your phone or camera. To ensure you can go home with a whole selection of images from your trip to Clarens to relive the experience with your friends and family, be sure clear up some memory on your memory card.
These are some of the essentials to remember as part of your planning for your trip to Clarens. If you have this covered, you have the basic items covered. If you’re planning a specific activity be sure to check in with the organisers to see what the most appropriate clothing will be and if you need to pack in anything specific.
