| There are three things that no traveler here should be without: a tent, a sleeping bag, and a torch. Take a tracksuit for mornings and evenings in game parks, with shorts for the daytime. A jacket and warm socks are a good idea as it can get cold at night. Other items which will be handy are a small travel alarm, a basic first aid kit, a water bottle, a towel, a camera and film, a penknife, and any batteries that you need. Take insect repellent, sun cream, and a money belt.
| Warm clothing will be of great importance to everyone. Between May and September you should take several pairs of thick socks, heavy windproof gloves, high-protection sunglasses, a wool hat, a jumper, hiking shorts, wool shirt and trousers (jeans are cold and uncomfortable when wet), and a waterproof jacket. Travelers in winter need to prepare for Arctic conditions. If you're camping, take your own stove, and as much dried food as possible.

2. Imagine you're going to one of these countries. How many things have you got already, and what would you have to buy? When you last packed a bag, where were you going and what exactly did you take? Make a list.
3. There are lots of compound nouns in the texts, like sleeping bag. How many can you make from these words?
