February tour, bugs
Do you know how the bug situation in February?
How strict is the weight limit for bags? One big checked suitcase and just a lightweight backpack for carry-on when it's 20 hours of flying?

Always assumed there could be mosquitoes
Tauck give you a duffle which must be used for part of the tour plus you can take a small backpack. You big case catches up with you several days later.
We have done this tour four times and have never brought a big suitcase. We use the two duffels as our primary luggage. We use the roll aboard as a ‘dolly’ for one of the duffels, and we check the other duffel with the liquids. We share the onboard luggage in the event that the checked duffel goes lost. At least one person has lost their checked luggage on each of our trips. Carry what you really need on the airplane. As added insurance I wear safari clothes on the airplane. Most “travel” clothes make lousy safari outfits.
