On Safari

Year Round

  • Layers – the best way to dress on Safari, due to fluctuating temperatures. We recommend cotton, long sleeves and trousers will protect from both sun and insects. Colours should be neutral (beige, khaki, tan…).
  • Fleece/warm sweater – even in summer.
  • Hat – broad-brimmed for protection against the sun.
  • Sunglasses – dark ones to cut the glare.
  • Sunblock, insect repellent and lip salve.
  • Shoes – good, sturdy closed shoes/boots and socks for walking. Flip flops/thongs for use in outdoor showers.
  • Head torch – handy in the evenings.
  • Binoculars – each person should have their own so as not to miss out on any sightings.
  • Camera with spare batteries, memory sticks, film, and the correct charging apparatus.
  • A kikoi or light sarong has a multitude of uses.
  • Eye drops are recommended.
  • Binoculars and good cameras are an absolute must.
  • Most of the camps do provide the basic toiletries (shampoo, shower gel, soap and body lotion
  • A good book for those lazy afternoons.

Summer (October – March)

  • Light, compact jacket (windcheater) for the rainy season.
  • A poncho for the rainy days, but most camps do have them available on the the game drives.

Winter (April – September)

  • It gets very cold in the evenings and early mornings and quite hot during the day – so layers are essential.
  • Tracksuit – good to sleep in.
  • Hat – woollen beanie for warmth.
  • Gloves – good for cool winter evenings and sun protection.
  • Scarf
  • In some regions it's so cold you will be happy when you pack your Thermal underwear!
