What should I pack when moving to Mossel Bay?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Mossel Bay to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Mossel Bay, you should pack a variety of clothing suitable for a Mediterranean climate, including lightweight clothing for the warm summer months and heavier clothing for the cooler winter months. Don't forget to pack a good quality sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the strong African sun. You should also pack a good pair of walking shoes for exploring the local area, as well as beachwear for enjoying the beautiful beaches. If you plan on participating in outdoor activities, consider packing gear such as hiking boots, swimwear, and snorkeling equipment. Remember to bring any necessary prescription medications, as well as a basic first aid kit. It's also a good idea to pack a reusable water bottle, as tap water in South Africa is generally safe to drink. If you're moving for work, pack appropriate business attire. For personal items, consider bringing photographs, small keepsakes, and other items that will make your new place feel like home. Don't forget to pack all necessary travel documents, including your passport, visa, and any other required identification. It's also a good idea to bring copies of important documents, such as your birth certificate, medical records, and insurance policies. Lastly, consider packing a guidebook or map of Mossel Bay and the surrounding area, as well as a phrasebook or language learning app if you're not already fluent in Afrikaans or Xhosa, the local languages," wrote a member who made the move to Mossel Bay, South Africa.
