Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Hlane National Park could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Hlane National Park, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
