Luggage

How does all this luggage fit in the jeep?

• Each of us (there were six) packed approximately one piece of luggage that was carry-on size, and one baggage.  During the trip, we were able to fit the carry-on luggage in the back of the jeep, and we kept the backpacks up front with us in the jeep.  This fit pretty nicely in the jeep.
• Note that we didn't actually get all the space in the jeep.  The driver/guide obviously need to have his own luggage.  Also, each day, we brought out a box of packed lunches.  We also carried a case of water, and inside the jeep, we had a small cooler.  
• In addition to the space in the far back of the jeep (behind the seats), there are actually eight seats in the jeep - six in the back, and one passenger seat up front with the driver/guide.  So with six of us, there was actually an extra seat that we could put stuff on...and most of the time, we did make use of it.

• Baggage Allowance: Each group member is allowed 30Kg of check-in baggage and 10Kg of Carry on bag in Economy class and 40Kg of check-in baggage and 10Kg of Carry on bag in Business class. Excess baggage charges will apply as appropriate.
• I've copied this info from their site because, for some reason, it was incredibly hard for me to track down when I was looking for it!

There were some other luggage "tips" we learned, but none of these applied to us:

• Bring old luggage, and cover up your luggage while you're traveling.  Some travelers warned that the roads get really dusty, so if you brought brand new luggage, it gets dusty/old fast.  If you do bring nice new luggage, ask your driver to cover it up with a tarp (or something) so the dust doesn't settle all over everything.  We were there in November, so it wasn't that dusty.
