On our recent trip to Tanzania, several participants commented that it would be convenient to have a small bag to use on the safari part of the trip. The daypack they used on Kilimanjaro was overkill for bringing water, sunscreen & a camera on game viewing drives or for bringing a book, ipod, and sunglasses out to the hotel patio. For this purpose, you don't need something that's comfortable to wear six hours a day loaded with 15 lbs. of gear—just a place to stuff your stuff. I find that a lightweight nylon tote or backpack is perfect for this. Plus, you can use it as an extra piece of luggage if your souvenirs don't fit in your duffel. Here are some bags that weigh 6 to 14 oz., cost $25 to $70, and often come in a variety of colors. All the manufacturers have websites so you can comparison shop.
