25" Roller bag on SA safari?
We'll be flying from Dulini to Ngala Tented during our safari, and then on to JNB at the end . Are we likely to have problems on the small planes if we take a bag that is soft on the top and sides and hard on the back, e.g., not quite totally soft sided? We have 25" Eagle Creek bags like this:

We are going to take our 20 in Hi Sierra wheeled backpacks on Safari this summer, it seems to be the ideal choice

You'll be fine with that luggage. Have a great time.

I second the Eagle Bag, mine is 23" and is fine.

Thanks all...I can breathe easier now!

Even if this bags wasn't good, when it comes to international airports, I've yet to come upon one where there weren't, on deplaning, readily available luggage carts. And, unlike here in the US, NO FEE for their use. And, once in-country, you never have to lift a bag.

As long as you are not trekking a lot
