What should I pack when moving to Somerset West?

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

"When moving to Somerset West, you should pack a variety of clothing to accommodate the region's Mediterranean climate, including lightweight clothing for the warm summer months and warmer clothing for the cooler winter months. Don't forget to pack a good quality sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the strong African sun. You should also pack comfortable walking shoes, as Somerset West is a beautiful area with plenty of outdoor activities. If you plan on participating in water activities, pack a swimsuit and beach towel. Bring any prescription medications you need, along with a copy of your prescription. It's also a good idea to pack a basic first aid kit. If you're moving for work, pack any necessary work-related items, such as a laptop or important documents. Remember to pack any personal items that will make your new house feel like home, such as family photos or favorite books. Lastly, don't forget to pack travel adapters for your electronics, as South Africa uses a different plug type than many other countries. Remember that South Africa has strict customs regulations, so avoid packing any prohibited items. It's always a good idea to check the latest regulations before you start packing," wrote a member who made the move to Somerset West, South Africa.
