What to bring:
Suggested clothing:
Think for yourself, you will be
attending lecturers (clean) and doing field work (dirty. Safari colours for
field work. Long and short pants and shirts, T shirts for layering and a warm
jacket. Hat, sunglasses and working gloves. Appropriate footwear for field and
class attendance. Some of the fieldwork will be in Foot and Mouth Disease areas
and boots will be disinfected afterwards. In the past, some students went for an
early morning jog, if you're a runner, bring the gear. Bring your personal items
(eg Toiletries, alarm clock, Bug repellent, sunscreen, camera) It is our
experience that students bring way too much. We now keep overalls and over boots
for post mortems, so you do not need to bring this. Laundry facilities to be
used mid course, i.e. after 7 days, so plan accordingly.
Bring a converter if you have
electrical supplies (USA=110 Volts, South Africa = 220 Volts)
Gum and Candy - now voted therapeutic during long lectures.
Weather:
May to August is winter in South
Africa with temperatures varying from -2 Celsius at night to 25 Celsius midday.
Dressing in layers help to accommodate this range.
