My wife and I (mid 60s, Chicago area) are planning a bucket list safari/beach adventure to Tanzania mid-February-early March. We want to bookend this trip with a stop in Istanbul for three days prior to the safari and 7-8 days in Italy after Tanzania.
For some internal flights within Tanzania we've got some pretty strict baggage weight limits. In addition, clothing necessary in Turkey/Italy at that time of year is likely to be different than what we might need on a safari/beach trip.
As a result we will be packing a separate bag and looking for a place to store it while we are in Tanzania. Wondering if anyone can direct me to secure luggage storage on site at IST airport. On our way back from Tanzania to Rome we will have a 4 hour layover at IST so my thinking is we could drop it off on our way down and pick it up on our way back. Storage would be for about 15 days. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
