Size and Capacity
Your Safari luggage needs to be small enough to pass the restrictions, yet spacious enough to hold everything you need for your Safari.

Weight
There are weight and size restrictions to Safari luggage. Keep this in mind as you select a bag. The lighter your bag is, the more you can take with you. Choose carefully though. While the weight of the bag is important, you don’t want to compromise on the construction of the bag either. 

Durability
Finding a Safari bag that is both durable and lightweight is the perfect blend of form and function. Try to choose Safari luggage that you can use for future Safaris or other adventures. Try to go for something that is sturdy enough to withstand the wear and tear of you—the international traveler. Consider durable materials like canvas, leather, nylon, etc. Also, make sure the zippers and other fastenings are made of quality materials. 

Handles
If you’ll be carrying your bag, you want to make sure the handles are rounded or padded for a more comfortable carry.

Versatility
You may need to carry your bag from place to place. Handles are great, but you may want the versatility of a shoulder strap. That way, you can easily carry your bag on your shoulder. Also, try to get a bag that has an adjustable shoulder strap so that it can be worn at different heights.

Organization
You’ll need your clothes, shoes, accessories, personal toiletries (that are not provided by the lodge), travel documents, and a little medical bag. It’s best to keep these things organized so that it’s easy to access when you need them. It’s, therefore, a great idea to get a bag that gives you organization options.
