What should I pack when moving to Umhlanga?

Answer this Question

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

"When moving to Umhlanga, you should pack a variety of clothing to accommodate the warm, humid climate, including lightweight, breathable fabrics, swimwear, and a light jacket for cooler evenings. Don't forget your sun protection items such as sunglasses, hats, and a high SPF sunscreen. It's also advisable to pack comfortable walking shoes for exploring the area and flip-flops for the beach. Remember to bring your essential documents like your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or work permits. If you take prescription medication, ensure you have an adequate supply, along with a copy of your prescription. Pack your electronics, including your phone, laptop, and chargers. An international adapter might be necessary as South Africa uses a unique type of plug. If you're planning on cooking, you might want to bring some of your favorite non-perishable food items that may not be available locally. Lastly, bring personal items that will make your new place feel like home, such as photos, favorite books, or small decor items," explained one expat living in Umhlanga, South Africa.
