Looks like I'll finally be able to make my African hunt in 2012. 10 days. What are the essentials, including clothing gear and footwear, and what online shopping source would you guys recommend for the purchases?

Thanks in advance. By making this early check list, I think some might imagine how excited I am to finally have this wish realized.
