We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and seeing the best of Kafue National Park in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

The secret is to be organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Kafue National Park in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
