Bring medicine specific to your needs and potential needs. You should be past tick season but check with the PH. Ticks can be really abundant at certain times of the year. There no nasty tick born illnesses in the eastern cape but the pepper ticks can transmit what they call tickbite fever. Low grade fever and headache. Doxycycline clears it up fast.
The oft quoted more money and less clothes is also true.
If you don't have a good pocket camera get one. Takes lots and lots of photos.
The other comments above are well thought out.
If your PH and / or tracker get real excited about an animal that's not on your list seriously think about shooting it.
All the best.
