Dressing for Safaris:

On safari most people wear shorts and a T-shirt during the day and put on long sleeved shirts and long pants in the evening for warmth as well as protection from mosquitoes. Should you be particularly sensitive to the sun a loose cotton shirt is essential during the day. Khaki, brown, olive and beige colors are best for hunting safaris and game walks. White is not a suitable color for these activities. Firstly it increases your visibility quotient to the animals you want to get a closer look at, and secondly, it will get dirty very quickly. Fleece or sweater and a windbreaker for game drives, because it is highly possible that you may go out on a hot day, but be faced with a chill evening on your return. Remember that layering your clothing will keep you warmer than relying on one thick item.

Clothing to Pack:

• 2 pairs khaki cotton pants (jeans are rather hot) ( cameos is good)
• 2 pairs sturdy shorts
• 2 long sleeved shirts (for sun protection as well as warmth).
• 1 light sweater or sweatshirt
• 1 lightweight, waterproof windbreaker
• 2 pair sturdy walking or hiking boots or running shoes and 1 pair sandals
• 3-5 short-sleeved shirts or T-shirts
• 5 changes underwear and socks
• 1 hat with a brim (baseball caps might cover your nose but not your ears and neck).

The African sun can be very harsh. Sunburn on safari, in the heat, is not fun.
