"Hi, everyone. I'm Russ Handler and I just love to travel and I'm sure you do too. Did you know South Africa's climate varies from the extreme summer to almost 115 degrees sustained to below freezing in the winter months, depending on where you're going? That's right. So, packing for a trip to South Africa generally means the time of the year you're going there. So please check in advance for current temperatures. But by and by, I'm going to suggest that you always have a hat with you when visiting South Africa, comfortable shoes and hiking shoes, specifically. And I'm going to suggest that swimwear might be appropriate year round, depending on where you're visiting, you're very likely to have an indoor swimming pool or an outdoor area to swim. Maps and guidebooks are going to be very essential for your trip. Sunscreen year round, I suggest as I do. And I'm going to suggest you have a camera with lots of film. I always carry around extra toiletries with me. And for the threat of some cool evenings, a light jacket can't hurt as well. I'm Russ Handler and that's how it's done."
