Loppers
Often the roads are not wide enough for Globi, so that we have to cut branches regularly. Our loppers are always ready to use in the driver cabin.

Insect killer
We don’t like insects in our home. Despite the mosquito protection in front of all windows some of them enter the cabin together with us through the door. With this power racket you can electrocute the little monsters easily.
Household tools
We definitely have many many tools with us, but this litlle ratchet set is the most used and useful tool to fix the little things in a moving house. It’s Gabi’s preferred tool!

LED pocket torch with rechargeable battery
This little porch is not only useful for walking in the dark, but with its 240m long light beam we can even observe animals in the bush, which you wouldn’t detect with other bigger lamps.

Front end water filter
Freshwater in Afica is often polluted. We use this filter in between our pipe elements. We prevent our tanks to get full of sand and rusty particles. It is easy to clean and sometimes you have to wash it several times during one filling session.

Salt & Pepper shaker
Looks cool, stays cool: it never lost one grain of salt so far despite all the nasty gravel roads.

This system saved us at least one wheel. As soon as the pressure diverge from the set pressure bandwith the system informs you with audio alarm.

Middle sized binoculars
Good binoculars are important. It is important to pay attention to the luminosity and the optical precision. It’s more fun to watch animals with good glasses.
SKROSS – Multiadapter
From Rosmarie and Fritz: SKROSS – Multiadapter. Covers practically all countries. We don’t need it every day – but it has been of great use a few times.
