What should I pack when moving to Ballito?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Ballito to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Ballito, you should pack a variety of clothing suitable for warm, tropical weather, including lightweight shirts, shorts, and dresses. Don't forget to include swimwear, as Ballito is known for its beautiful beaches. However, also pack a few warmer items such as light jackets or sweaters for cooler evenings or unexpected weather changes. Comfortable walking shoes are a must, as well as sandals or flip-flops for the beach. You should also pack a good quality sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the strong African sun. If you plan on going on safari or exploring the outdoors, consider packing some hiking boots, long pants, and long-sleeved shirts to protect against insects and vegetation. A good insect repellent is also recommended. Remember to pack all necessary toiletries, prescription medications, and a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to bring a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated. Don't forget your important documents such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or permits. It's also a good idea to have copies of these documents. Lastly, pack any electronics you'll need, such as your phone, laptop, or camera, along with the necessary chargers and adapters. South Africa uses Type M plugs, so you may need a travel adapter," remarked another expat in Ballito, South Africa.
