They help with travel bags.

You may say that when I’m travelling to Tanzania, I shall not need a lot of items so there
is no need to carry a heavy luggage where I shall end up needing help. As a
matter of fact, sometimes even if you don’t carry a lot of luggage, you might
find that the porter is so essential. There are times when you are simply unable
to carry your luggage.

There are challenging activities like mount climbing, when climbing Kilimanjaro, you need
to free yourself from anything and just concentrate on your ambition of
reaching the summit, and those are moments when you need a porter such that
they could carry the entire luggage for you. Porters shall always help you
carry the luggage.

 And in several national parks, walking safaris are allowed; you may want the services
of the porter during your walking safari. In brief, when you carry a luggage to
Tanzania, there may times when you shall require someone to help you and that’s
when the porters shall come into use.

Pitching the
tent when you go for wildlife safari that involves staying at the campsite can
be a little challenging. Some of these tents are really hard to pitch- many
require a certain degree of expertise to be successful at the task. Porters
know how to pitch a tent and so it is always easy for them to do that task.
When times come to pitch a tent or if you are thinking of staying at a public
campsite, think of the help of a porter.

 Preparing a bed could be challenging when you
are in a campsite; for example, you need to know where you want to put the bed,
and how to set up the bed. Sometimes, you need to further and add provide other
accessories like the mosquito net and others. If you are not familiar with the
entire concept, you might end up not sleeping anywhere or sleeping in the car
as a result of being unaware of how to set that beautiful tent. This could be
another reason why porters are so important.
