What to Wear on Safari: Quick Guide to Safari Colours

One way to celebrate safari is by wearing made-for-purpose safari clothing in Africa.

If you have booked your trip to Africa, how you should dress for a safari will be an important part of your travel plan. When planning what to wear on an African safari, colour is one of the most important considerations. This quick guide to safari colours should assist with what to wear on safari.

SAFARI PACKING TIPS: COLOUR

What colour should you wear on safari? We recommend neutral safari clothing for your African travels. This includes shades of khaki, brown, beige/tan, and green. These colours blend in well with the bush and are best-suited to safari travel for a few important reasons.

WHY DOES THE COLOUR OF YOUR SAFARI CLOTHES MATTER?

Game-viewing By blending in with your surroundings, you enhance your game-viewing. Watching wildlife behaving naturally is the best way to see Africa’s spectacular fauna. The colour of your clothing can potentially scare off or disturb your sighting – something you want to avoid.

Activities Don’t miss the chance to experience the bush in as many ways as possible. For game drives and self-drives, dress the part to make the most of any opportunity to go on a short walk. For walking safaris and other active safaris , the colour of your clothing matters for your wildlife encounters and can contribute to the quality of your sightings and, in some cases, your safety.

Made for safari Exploring the bush can be gloriously dusty and dirty. Shades of khaki have long been worn by safari-goers for not showing up dirt as easily as other colours.

When in Africa One way to celebrate safari is by wearing made-for-purpose safari clothing in Africa. With fashionable safari clothes for women and men always being in style, you can add a touch of safari to your wardrobe back home too.

WHAT COLOURS SHOULDN'T YOU WEAR ON SAFARI?

Blue and black Black and blue stand out in the bush, but there is another reason to avoid wearing these colours on safari. If you are travelling to an area with tsetse flies, this attracts the dreaded fly – an insect with a painful bite – so much so that fly traps are made from blue and black fabric.

Can you wear white on safari? White stands out more than any other colour in the African bush and so isn’t suitable for safari activities. That said, slipping into a white shirt for dinner in the evening is a great feeling. Shop men's and women's white shirts .

What To Wear On Safari: My Detailed Safari Packing List With Photos

Written by BELLA FALK

You’ve all seen the brochure photos: a smiling family is sitting at a camping table in the middle of the African bush. Behind them, the sun is setting, and perhaps a giraffe is crossing the savanna landscape.

Contents (click to view)

What are they wearing? I’m sure you can picture it: lightweight designer safari gear, all matching, in indistinguishable shades of beige, taupe and camel. Maybe the dad is wearing khaki chinos and the mum has a floppy-brimmed hat (colour: putty) on her head. They all have sand-coloured lace-up boots on, and from head to toe all their clothes are pristine, clean, and crease-free.

If it’s your first time figuring out what to wear on safari, it might feel like this is the model you have to follow. Like, having booked the blindingly expensive trip of a lifetime, you now have to go out and splurge hundreds more on the ‘proper’ kit, otherwise people will laugh at you and you may even get into trouble for not doing it right.

Well I’m here to reassure you: that’s rubbish.

What should you wear on safari?

I’ve been on five safaris (to Kenya , Botswana , Tanzania , Uganda and South Africa) and I still don’t own any ‘official’ safari clothes. I’ve always worn stuff I already own and been just fine.

That said, there are some dos and don’ts about packing for a safari, some things it’s a good idea to make sure you bring with you, and some stuff you should definitely leave at home.

So welcome to my complete safari packing guide. I’m going to go through a few points and FAQs, and then make a handy list at the end. Scroll down if you just want to skip ahead to that.

What happens on a safari?

Days on safari follow a similar schedule. You wake early and head out shortly after sunrise for a morning activity – usually a game drive but sometimes a boat cruise, guided walk, or scenic flight.

You return to the camp mid-morning for brunch and have some hours to relax in the heat of the day before heading out again for another activity later in the afternoon. Your afternoon game drive or boat cruise normally ends with sunset drinks in a beautiful location, before you head back to the camp for dinner.

After dinner you might sit round the campfire or boma enjoying a few drinks with your fellow guests, but most people go to bed fairly early, ready for another dawn start the next day.

What to wear on safari during the day

The most important thing to note is that a safari is not a fashion show. It can be hot and dusty, or rainy and muddy, so it’s important to dress for comfort and practicality, so leave the designer gear, luxury fabrics and bling jewellery at home. Instead, bring stuff that washes easily, dries quickly and hides the dirt well!

You’ll also be coating yourself daily in suncream and insect repellent, so don’t bring anything that won’t mix well with those!

When I was in Botswana in December, some days reached 40 degrees C (104 F) with high humidity, so think lightweight breathable fabrics like cotton, viscose or sweat-wicking sportswear, or even linen if you don’t mind the creases).

T-shirts and shorts are your friends, but I’d avoid strappy vests for two reasons:

• Many African countries are quite conservative, and it doesn’t do to flash a lot of skin.
• The sun is extremely strong and the more skin you show, the more of you there is to get burned, even in a shaded safari car.

What to wear on a game drive or boat cruise

On wildlife viewing trips you’ll be sitting in a car for several hours, so it’s important to be comfortable. T-shirts and shorts are a great option.

Early mornings in Africa can be chilly, so bring a long-sleeved shirt, light sweater or jacket just in case.

Don’t forget your hat and sunglasses. Safari cars have roofs, but sometimes the roof rolls back so you can stand up, and when the sun is low in the sky it can shine in from the side very strongly. I was surprised by how much I ended up needing my hat.

Since you won’t be walking around much, light sneakers or sandals are fine.  

Safari cars are open-sided, so if it rains you may get a bit wet. Most safari companies carry ponchos in the car, to hand out to guests when it rains, but you might want to bring your own light waterproof raincoat just in case.

What to wear on a walking safari

For a walking safari the principles are the same, but you should wear long trousers to prevent your legs being cut or scratched by branches, and closed-toed shoes to protect you from biting or stinging animals or insects.

Although walking safaris can sometimes last for three or four hours, you don’t actually walk that far because there’s a lot of stopping and looking at stuff. So you don’t need hiking boots; comfortable trainers or walking shoes are fine. If you’re travelling in rainy season you might want to bring waterproof or Gore-Tex ones.

Do I need warm clothes on safari?

We think of Africa as being hot, and it is, but it can also be extremely cold. If you travel during the northern hemisphere summer, that’s winter in most of Africa, and temperatures can drop below freezing especially in desert areas, if you’re at altitude, and the further south you go.

In Botswana and South Africa during the winter, average nighttime temperatures can be 0 or even -2 degrees C (28-32 F), and remember that most safari cabins and tents are not heated!

Even in Kenya, which is much closer to the equator and therefore not as cold, nights and early mornings can definitely be chilly.

Staff in camps will provide you with hot water bottles and blankets both in your tent and on game drives, but you still need to bring warm clothes with you as well.

If you’re travelling to the southern African countries between April and October, I’d recommend bringing at least one pair of long trousers, one long-sleeved top, one jumper, and a packable down jacket.

But remember to dress in layers, as the day quickly warms once the sun’s up, and even if it’s close to freezing during the night, afternoon temperatures can ramp up to high 20s (70+ F) or more.

It’s very important to check the weather forecast before you travel, as different regions’ climates can vary.

What colour should you wear on safari?

It’s recommended that you wear plain designs in neutral, earthy or natural colours, such as shades of beige, grey, brown or natural greens.

Avoid vibrant, bright colours like orange, red and yellow, or vivid patterns. This is for two reasons:

• It helps to make you less noticeable to animals.
• You can get pretty dusty on safari, and natural shades don’t show the dirt so much!

Bright white and full black are also not recommended. This is not only because they show the dust really badly, but because many animals actually only see in black and white, and large gleaming white shapes or dark black ones are very noticeable to them.

With that all said, I wouldn’t worry about it too much, and you certainly don’t need to rush out and buy an entire new wardrobe full of khaki and beige. As I just mentioned, many animals only see in black and white, and when you’re inside the car, most only see the car as one large object, and not the people inside.

It’s more important to stick to the rules when you’re on a walking safari and don’t have the protection of the car.

But in general, if you pack plain, neutral-ish colours, you’ll be fine.

Why not wear blue on safari?

Some people recommend not wearing blue on safari. Apart from being a pretty noticeable bright colour, it’s said to attract tsetse flies, which are prevalent in some areas of southern Africa and can deliver a nasty bite and spread disease. They are also thought to prefer black (another reason not to wear it).

That said, my light down jacket is bright blue, and I also took a blue t-shirt and a pale blue cardigan to Kenya, and I wore all three with no problems.

What to wear on safari evenings

Most people like to dress up when they go on holiday, so you might think about throwing a few glamorous dresses, high heels or some party shirts into your suitcase.

But you probably won’t wear them. Even in the luxury camps, most people really don’t dress up for dinner, for four main reasons:

• At night it’s a good idea to cover your arms and legs to avoid insect bites, so floaty skirts and strappy tops are a bad idea.
• It can get quite chilly at night, so you’ll probably be more comfortable in trousers and a fleece anyway.
• You’ll be tired after a long day and an early start; you’ll probably find you can’t be bothered to dress for dinner as you’ll be going to bed soon afterwards anyway.
• Walking round camp after dark you may run into snakes or spiders, and paths can be muddy and uneven, so high-heels are a definite no-no.

When I was in Botswana in December (the height of their summer) it was still 30+ degrees (86 F) in the evening, so I wore lightweight trousers or a long casual dress and then liberally coated myself with insect repellent. In Kenya in September it was a bit cooler, around low 20s (70 F), so I wore trousers, a t-shirt and a light cardigan, and had my jacket handy for later in the evening as the temperature dropped.

Is it OK to wear jeans on safari?

It’s perfectly fine to bring a pair of jeans for the cooler evenings, especially if you’re travelling in winter when you know it will be chilly at night.

However jeans aren’t recommended for game drives as you’ll probably be too hot in them during the day, and if you need to wash them they’ll take ages to dry.

As a general rule I wouldn’t take jeans on safari but instead bring lightweight trousers. The convertible zip-off ones that turn into shorts are especially good as you can have long pants for cold mornings and safari walks, and convert them into shorts once the day’s warmed up.

Pro tip: Whatever you choose to bring, make sure you have some ‘room to grow’! The food on safari is usually really good and you won’t be doing much exercise, so stretchy waistbands are a good idea!

Can you wear leggings on safari?

Yes, absolutely. Leggings are a great thing to bring on safari because they’re lightweight, wash and dry easily, are comfortable, and protect you from bugs and the sun. Just stick to neutral colours and leave the snazzy activewear designs at home!

I always pack a pair of leggings for safari – and if there’s a gym in the hotel then I can also use them for a workout!

What are the best shoes to wear on safari?

As I mentioned above, high heels and smart shoes are definitely not the thing to bring on safari. For game drives it’s fine to wear sandals or light sneakers, and for safari walks you want closed-toed comfortable walking shoes.  You definitely don’t need to buy special safari boots, no matter what the sales people might say.

If your lodge or hotel has a pool, you might want to bring some flipflops (also handy to have for walking around in your tent at night, or for nipping to the bathroom block if you’re staying in a campsite).

Can you wear trainers on safari?

Yes, absolutely. I always pack a pair of Asics Gore-Tex trail trainers that I wear for exercise, when it’s muddy or raining, and for walking or hiking. On game drives and boat cruises, and for walking around the camp in the evening, I have a pair of Skechers Go-Walk sneakers that are super comfortable and easy to slip on and off.

What to pack for the beach in Kenya or Tanzania

Many people like to combine their safari with a few days on the beach, perhaps in Zanzibar in Tanzania, or at Diani or Vipingo in Kenya .

Here’s where you will get the chance to dress up a bit – as if you’re staying in a nice hotel or beach resort destination, there will definitely be opportunities to put on a strappy dress, holiday shirt, or some sparkly sandals.

If you’re planning to hit the beach for a few days at the end of your trip, you’ll definitely want to throw in one or two nice evening outfits. And don’t forget swimwear and a beach cover-up too!

Can you wash clothes on safari?

This is a very important question, and the answer is yes! Almost all safari lodges and camps offer a laundry service and most of the time it’s included in the price of your stay. So you can wash your clothes as often as you like at no extra cost – which means you really don’t need to bring huge amounts of luggage as you can wash and re-wear your clothes several times.

Note that in many places the laundry is done by hand by the hotel staff, dried out in the sun, and ironed using an old-fashioned coal iron. This is yet another reason not to bring anything too delicate or precious, as there’s a small chance it may get damaged during the laundry process.

What sort of underwear should I bring for safari?

Ladies: remember that you may spend many hours bouncing around over unsealed and bumpy roads in the back of a safari car. Being quite an athletic build, this is not something that’s ever bothered me, but I’ve been reliably informed by more curvy girls that a sports bra can be a life-saver in this situation. So if you’re particularly susceptible to bouncing, bring sports bras!

It’s also important to note that the people who handwash your clothes are usually male, and for cultural and hygiene reasons they won’t wash women’s underwear. Ladies will need to bring a small amount of hand wash (though sometimes laundry soap is provided) and wash your own pants and bras in the basin. For this reason it’s a good idea not to bring anything too fancy or delicate: lightweight, quick-drying microfibre underwear is best.

Other things to pack for safari

Of course, packing is not all about clothes. Here are a few other things you won’t want to forget (more in the complete packing list below):

Camera, spare batteries, chargers, plug adapters

Can you imagine going all that way on safari on the trip of a lifetime and then forgetting your phone charger or camera? I know, I’d die!

So definitely make sure you pack all your gadgets, and all the cables and plugs you’ll need to make them work! And then bring spares!

Often hotel rooms and safari tents only have a limited number of plug sockets, so if you have loads of gadgets, it’s a good idea to bring a multi-socket splitter. I recommend one with surge protection : power cuts can happen frequently and if there’s a surge when the power comes back, your devices can get fried. This happened to me the night before my Tanzania safari , so now I’m extra careful!

Medication and toiletries

Most of the places you’ll be staying will be out in the bush, with limited access to shops. Make sure you bring all the toiletries, medicines and personal items you’ll need, as once you leave the airport, opportunities to replace anything that’s missing will be very limited.

Do you need malaria tablets for safari?

Large parts of Africa have malaria, including popular safari countries like Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe, so it’s very likely that you may need to take malaria tables on safari. I usually take doxycycline which is cheaper than malarone, but may not be suitable for everyone so speak to your pharmacist or travel clinic.

You can check the malaria risk for the country you’re visiting, as well as any other vaccine requirements at the Travel Health Pro website here .

Some countries also require you to have a proof of yellow fever vaccination – you can check if this is needed on the website above as well. For example, places like Kenya and Tanzania won’t let you in without proof of vaccination if you’ve spent time in a yellow-fever-risk country before arriving. If you have already had your yellow fever jab, make sure you pack the certificate!

What to wear for safari in Tanzania

If you’re planning your safari in Tanzania or Kenya as part of a trip that also involves climbing Kilimanjaro (or any other mountain), then check out my essential Kilimanjaro packing list here .

Best suitcase for safari

This is important, so pay attention! Many safaris involve internal transfers by tiny plane or even helicopter. They all have pretty strict packing rules, with a maximum of 15 kg weight per person and no hard-shelled suitcases allowed. Luggage must be soft sided, and don’t overpack! You shouldn’t need to anyway, since you can wash everything when you’re there.

Wheels are OK as long as it’s a soft bag, so I recommend a soft holdall with or without wheels, or a wheely backpack like the one I have and love . This one came to Kenya and Botswana with me with no trouble at all.

Packing for safari for photographers

If, like me, you’re travelling with 15 kg of camera gear, don’t stress. The little internal plane operators are used to photographers and will let you put your backpack of gear at the back of the plane. I travelled with 15 kg of hold luggage and another 15 kg of camera gear around Botswana and Kenya, and it was never an issue.

There’ll be more on safari camera gear in a separate post, coming soon!

What should you NOT take on safari?

Now I’ve told you all the things you should bring on safari, here are a few things it’s a good idea to leave at home.

Perfume: No one in your safari car will thank you for dosing yourself liberally with Eau de Whatever, and if you wear a very strong scent it may even allow animals to detect you sooner and run away faster.

Hairdryer: Many safari camps run on solar power and cannot support a hairdryer. Those that can (if they’re on the grid, or running off a generator), will usually provide one that’s suited to the electricity supply. As I said, no one really worries too much about their appearance or cares about what your hair looks like on safari anyway.

Camouflage clothing: This might surprise you, but wearing military-style camo print clothing is a no-no in many African countries, where it’s associated with the military. It’s actually illegal to wear camo gear in Ghana, Uganda, Zimbabwe and Zambia.

Plastic bags: Disposable plastic bags are banned in Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda. You should be fine with the little zip-lock one for your liquids on the plane, and I’ve used reusable plastic packing bags many times with no problems, but try to keep plastic bags to a minimum or you may get a fine.

A drone: Unless you have special permission, drones are not allowed in most lodges and African National Parks.

Expensive watches, jewellery, and other valuable items: This doesn’t just apply to African safaris but to all travel. Jewellery can easily get lost, damaged or stolen, so if you care about it, leave it at home.

A hard-shelled suitcase: As mentioned above, all safari companies ask you to bring a soft bag or at most a wheeled soft holdall , as these are much easier to pack into the small luggage spaces on planes and in cars. You will not be thanked if you bring rigid-sided luggage.

Where to buy safari clothing

For the most part, you don’t need any specialist clothing for safari. You can wear your own normal clothes. However, there are some great companies that do excellent clothes for travel, in suitable colours, and made from practical fabrics that are sweat-wicking, comfortable and don’t crease.

My favourite brands for travel clothes are The North Face , Patagonia , Rab , Mountain Equipment , Arc’teryx and Craghoppers , and my favourite places to shop in the UK are Ellis Brigham and Cotswold Outdoor , which stock all these brands at competitive prices, have high-street stores where you can get advice and try stuff on, and often have good end-of-season sales too.

What to wear on safari: my Africa packing list

So now we’ve gone through the details, here’s what I would pack for a 10-day or two-week safari in Africa.

What to wear on safari: Clothes

• T-shirts in neutral or earthy colours x 5. The green t-shirt in the photo above is by Mountain Equipment . I love it so much I bought three!
• Long trousers x 1 pair. I really like my lightweight ones from The North Face .
• Shorts x 1 pair.
• Convertible trousers that zip-off into shorts, or a second pair of shorts . North Face and Craghoppers both do good convertible trousers for men and women .
• Leggings . I’m a big fan of Sweaty Betty.
• Long-sleeved shirt for covering up in bright sunshine.
• Lightweight jumper or cardigan for chilly evenings.
• Lightweight jacket , fleece or mid layer for cold nights. I have a fleece from Arc’teryx and a mine is a Nano puff from  Patagonia .
• Waterproof jacket . I have two, a lovely Zeta LT by  Arc’teryx  and a packable Meridien jacket by  Rab .
• Dress or smart shirt for the evening if you’re going to a city or the beach (x2). For packable jersey or lightweight viscose dresses I love Boden , Sugarhill Brighton and Joanie Clothing .
• Gym kit – if you think you’ll need or use it. But many safari camps don’t have fitness equipment and you can’t go for a run in the bush or you might get chased by a predator!
• Sports bras or comfortable wireless bralettes x 3.
• Underwear x 7. If you’re staying for longer you’ll need to handwash. I recommend something quick-drying and non-delicate like these microfibre ones from M&S .
• Swimwear . I get cute bikinis and swimwear from M&S , Next , or Pour Moi .
• Sarong or cover up (if you’re spending time on the beach)
• Sandals or flip flops . I love my walking sandals by Teva .
• Trainers or walking shoes for exercise and walking safaris. Mine are Gore-Tex trail trainers from Asics .
• Soft sneakers for walking round the camp, game drives and boat cruises. I’m a big fan of Skechers Go Walks .

Pro tip: if you’re going to the beach and plan to do a lot of snorkelling, pack a rash vest or t-shirt to swim in. The sun is super strong and we all got very burnt even though we were wearing Factor 50!

What to pack for safari in winter

If the forecast is for cold weather, I would add:

• Another long-sleeved top or baselayer .
• A warmer, packable insulated jacket .
• A pair of jeans.
• Beanie hat.

What to pack for safari: Accessories

• Baseball cap or hat. My cap is this one this one by Buff and I really like it.
• Scarf or buff to keep dust off (and you can dip it in water to cool you down on very hot days)
• Headphones or ear buds (for the plane), you won’t need them on the actual safari! I have these ones which are pretty good and much cheaper than Apple ones.
• Eye mask and ear plugs (if you’re a light sleeper).
• Camera, batteries, memory cards and charger
• Charger cables for all your devices
• Portable phone charger. Mine is this one from Anker .
• Plug adapter for the country you’re going to, or a universal plug adapter
• Plug splitter or 3-way adapter with surge protection
• Refillable water bottle (though some safari companies provide them, so check). An insulated water bottle will keep your water colder for longer on hot days.
• A padlock for your luggage to protect you from airport thieves

Safari packing list: Toiletries

As well as all your usual toiletries and medications, don’t forget:

• Suncream. I swear by  Riemann P20  because it’s hard wearing and you only need to apply it once a day. Or for the best face SPF you will ever find, that’s non-greasy and non-orange (!), I love  this one from the Body Shop .
• Insect repellant (though this is often provided in camp).
• Malaria tablets ( check to see if these are required in your destination )

Pro tip: Luggage goes missing more and more frequently these days, so pack your medication or anything else vital in your hand luggage.

10 Mistakes to Avoid on a Safari, According to Experts

Lions, leopards, and elephants, oh my! The allure of a safari is enticing — but so is falling prey to these amateur moves. So, we talked to experts to ensure the antics are left up to the animals.

The night before my first safari drive in Nepal's Chitwan National Park in 2017, my tour guide pointed at me. Thinking he was about to make an example of me for my white ExOfficio BugsAway Damselfly jacket, I was shocked when he said my outfit was too bright for the game drive.

In my head, white was the ultimate neutral color, which I knew we were supposed to wear. But what I didn't realize was that, in the context of safaris, neutral meant shades that blend into the surroundings, like greens and browns.

On top of that, a few of my fellow travelers were taking malaria pills — something I hadn't even thought of. Needless to say, I was beyond unprepared.

Then, last year, when I saw a single spot left on my dream itinerary, G Adventures' National Geographic Journeys' Explore Southern Africa , I went for it, even though departure was only a few weeks away. Of course, I immediately went to my doctor for the right medication and pulled every camouflage item out of my closet. However, I still found myself covered in dirt and fumbling with binoculars and cameras when I should have been focused on searching for the Big Five.

To ensure your safari experiences go smoother than my trip-ups, I talked to experts about the biggest mistakes people make when they head into the wild. Here are the 10 biggest mistakes pros say you should avoid on a safari vacation.

1. Not Doing Proper Research

Not all game reserves and safari lodges are created equal — and if checking the Big Five off your list is a priority, then you should understand exactly what you're booking. "It's important to do your homework on the quality of the game viewing, qualifications of the guiding team, and the standard of the accommodations," says Royal Malewane director Juan Pinto, who has more than 20 years of industry experience, including as a field guide and master tracker. "The general rule is that you get what you pay for, from the number of guests in a game drive vehicle to the personalization of the experience." He also says to consider the access you'll get at a private lodge with guides who can go off-road any time versus at a national park, where there are set hours and restrictions on the number of vehicles. "Sightings can be very congested," he adds.

2. Wearing the Wrong Colors

"Every time you see photos of people on a safari, they are decked out in khaki, cargo 'safari' outfits, but it's really not necessary," says Carrie Maldovan, cofounder of Above Safaris . But the right colors can help you blend into the setting, so that you don't distract the animals. "It's a good idea to pack neutral colors, like olive green and beige," says Pinto, adding that if your itinerary includes a bush walk, it's essential to avoid black or white, which are considered "danger" colors. Maldovan also says to avoid blue and black on game drives since tsetse flies and other insects tend to gravitate toward those shades.

3. Packing the Wrong Types of Clothes

While the impression is that safaris usually take place in warm weather climates, the temperatures do drop from day to night, so layers are key. "It's easy to forget about the crisp evenings and those really crisp early mornings when packing for a safari," says Samantha Couture, G Adventures ' director of product for Africa. "Nothing too formal is required. In general, even upscale lodges have a relaxed, casual dress code, so no need for anything fancier than pants and a clean shirt." Maldovan also reminds travelers of the conditions. "Most roads are dirt roads, so there is a lot of dust flying around — it's better to rewear your game drive gear and save your clean clothes for back at the lodge."

4. Not Listening to the Guides

"The expertise and knowledge of the guides make a critical difference to the safari experience and the safety of guests," says Pinto, advising people to inquire about the FGASA (Field Guides Association of Southern Africa) qualifications of the guiding team before your trip, if you're headed to that region. Once you pick a company you trust, it's essential to listen to the guides. "From cultural misunderstandings to dangerous animal encounters, the biggest mistake that people can make on a safari is assuming they know best instead of listening to their professional safari guides and staff," says Maldovan. "These guides have extensive training that enables them to be the experts in all situations that can come up in the wild. Their job is to keep clients safe and give them an amazing experience. All the clients need to do is sit back, relax, and follow the directions of their guides."

5. Expecting to See Animals at Every Turn

Keep in mind that this is the animals' home turf — and not a theme park attraction. The animals' jobs are far from trying to entertain guests. Most of the game drives will take place in the (very) early morning and late afternoon to catch the animals at their most active. "Remember that you are in the wild and the animals are not tame," says Pinto. "Most guests are extremely respectful of their surroundings, but they often forget to put their phones on silent mode. Some even try to make noises to get the attention of animals for a photo. It's not a space to be brave or reckless."

6. Not Respecting the Locals

A major aspect of traveling to a safari destination is learning about the local culture. "The people I meet along the way are the reason I fall in love with a place," says Couture. "With this in mind, when taking photos of anyone, it's so important to ask for permission first… It's an instant way to convey respect and show your appreciation for the people around you sharing their story."

7. Fussing With New Equipment

As exciting as the idea of being a wildlife photographer is, a safari probably isn't the best place to try out brand-new equipment. "If you're not an experienced photographer, don't waste your money on a fancy DSLR camera," says Maldovan. "You'll end up wasting tons of time trying to figure out the camera and will probably not end up with very nice photos." She suggests sticking with a point-and-shoot camera and making sure you're familiar and comfortable with the device before the trip. Couture adds, "The quality of the camera on our phones these days is incredible, but it's important to remember that you will be in a vehicle most of the time on safari and may not have access to a charger, so battery life will come into play as well."

8. Forgetting Sunscreen and Bug Repellent

Even when it doesn't necessarily feel hot outside, you'll still be exposed to the elements, so remember to bring sunscreen — and reapply it throughout the day. Also, these locations are often home to insects. "Mosquito-borne illnesses are possible to contract in many safari destinations, but even more likely is the discomfort of having a ton of itchy mosquito bites," says Maldovan. Check with your doctor a few weeks before departure to see what is recommended for the particular area. That will give you plenty of time to get prescriptions, like malaria pills, some of which require a first dose 48 hours before travel.

9. Expecting the Comforts of Home

The hotels and lodges in safari destinations can be luxurious and stunning in terms of design and quality, but it's important to realize that you're also likely in a remote area without the strongest infrastructure. "Be open to the unique charm of a lodge," says Maldovan. "But you might need to wait for solar water to heat up your shower." That also means leaving some of your normal essentials, like a blow dryer or hair styler, at home, she adds, since lodges are often on solar power all around. Also, Wi-Fi and connectivity will often be patchy and limited to certain hours, so use it as an opportunity to truly disconnect. "A safari is an adventure, and if you embrace it, you'll get amazing hospitality and a truly wild experience, which will be much more memorable," she says.

10. Staying Behind the Camera

While it's so thrilling to snap photos of the incredible wildlife, Couture reminds travelers why they came so far. "Don't forget to get out from behind your camera," she says. "Making memories is what travel is all about — and photos are a huge part of that. But it's equally as important to smell, see, and feel the trip in real time. A safari can be a once-in-a-lifetime experience and walking away with both photos and impactful moments is the best of both worlds."

Best Colors to Wear on Safari

Did you know that there are best colors to wear on safari? Before we heading off on our safari vacation in South Africa and Uganda I had no idea how or indeed why the color of clothes your wear on a safari is important but it really is. In this guide we will tell you the worst and best colors to wear on safari and why you should stick to a restricted color palette whether you are going on a safari in Tanzania, South africa or indeed anywhere in Africa.

Why Does the Color of Safari Clothes Matter?

The truth is that color is a really important factor when putting together your safari capsule wardrobe. But why does the color of safari clothes matter?

Blending in With your surroundings

The point of being on safari is seeing the amazing wildlife. If you are wearing neon clothes you will definitely stand out from your bush surroundings.

If you want to see more animals we recommend wearing colors that will help you blend in to the surroundings.

This is important no matter whether you are doing a safari by car, by boat but especially important if you are doing a walking safari.

Keeping clean

It shouldn’t come as a shock that going on a safari isn’t a sterile experience. Chances are you will get dusty and dirty even doing a safari in a car but certainly if you are doing a walking safari.

So you don’t look filthy in your photographs you want to be wearing colors that will not show the dirt so much.

So now you know why it is important to wear and not to wear certain colors on safari we will look in more detail color by color to help you when packing

Packing a Capsule Wardrobe

Keeping to this limited color palette will also help you create and stick to a safari capsule wardrobe which will help you pack light which is an essential for those who are using light aircraft to get to their safari lodges.

While this safari guide is applicable for anywhere in Africa, if you want a country specific packing list check out our dedicated guides:

• What to wear on safari in Botswana
• What to wear on safari in Tanzania

In our opinion the best colors to wear on a safari are:

The reason we recommend these colors over all others is that these are the colors that will help you blend in most with the African landscape be that forests, savannahs or plains.

By blending in you will have a much better chance of seeing wildlife and not drawing attention to yourself in a negative way.

Also we found Khaki shirts the best for not showing up dust while tan, beige and brown were the best in our opinion for hiding the mud when doing gorilla trekking and other muddy activities.

What Colors Not to Wear on Safari

We recommend adding the colors below to your what not to wear on safari list. While it is probably more important for those on walking safaris to adhere to this most strictly we recommend following it whether you are in a car, on foot or on a boat. This is especially important when relating to health and safety.

Blue and Black

Blue and Black tend to be go to in my wardrobes, particularly in my outdoors wardrobes however in my opinion these are the colors that you should most avoid on safari.

This isn’t because they will make you stand up or show up dirt but for a very serious health and safety reason.

Africa unfortunately is home to the Tsete Fly. They are particularly abundant in East and Central Africa and we did see them when we were on safari in Uganda. Tsete Flies are known to cause Sleeping Sickness which is a horrible disease and you should try at all costs to prevent getting bitten by a Tsete Fly to avoid this.

Tsete Flies are attracted to two colors above any other. And you guessed it those colors are Blue and Black. although this is especially important when visiting Central and Eastern Africa I would follow this advice wherever you are going on safari just in case.

Can you Wear White on Safari?

We often get asked whether you can wear white on safari. I think most people have a romantic notion of what a safari wardrobe looks like from watching films and movies where women wear pristine white linen tops while out in the bush and savannah.

However this really isn’t a good or practical idea. Out of all the colors you could wear on a safari white is the color that will make you stand out the most. Also white will absolutely show up dust and dirt more than any other color.

If you have to have a white linen shirt in your safari wardrobe I would personally recommend you wearing this just for dinner in your lodge rather than out on safari drives and walks.

Can you wear bright colors on safari?

It is not recommend that you wear bright colors on safari. Neutral colors, such as tans and khakis are a much better choice. Bright colors will make you stand out which could prevent animals coming out or even attract some that you don’t want to be too interested in you especially on the walking safaris.

We therefore leaving bright colors out of your safari capsule wardrobes.

Is grey ok to wear on safari?

Grey is not the worst color to wear on safari however I would definitely prefer to keep khakis and neutral tones in your wardrobe instead.

Can I wear pink on a safari?

Pink is not as bad as white, blue or black on safari and it doesn’t attract anything in particularly depending on the shade but I personally would still not add pink to my safari wardrobe.

Light pink, similar to white will show up all the dirt and dust and won’t look great in pictures and darker or brighter pinks will make you stand out too much.

Can you wear red on a safari?

Red is not known to attract Tsete Flies however red will make you very conspicuous to the animals and therefore isn’t a recommended color to wear on safari.

Can I wear orange on safari?

Orange no matter the shade is considered a bright color and as such is not recommended to wear on safari. Not only because it will make you stand out to animals but also because insects love orange and you really don’t want to attract more insects towards you on a safari.

Can you wear Camo on Safari?

Although Khaki is a great color for safari you should NEVER wear khaki on a safari. This isn’t anything to do with the Animals but in Africa came or camouflage is almost exclusively used by soldiers and the army. And in fact it is in some places illegal to wear camouflage if you aren’t in the army.

Therefore we recommend leaving anything came behind.

Is it OK to wear black on safari?

No black is a color that you shouldn’t wear on safari. As we mentioned above black attracts Tsete Flies and therefore should be avoided at all costs.

Saturday 1st of July 2023

On what to wear, second to last paragraph, you mention camo, but in the paragraph below, you insert "Khaki" and "came". Not sure if "came" is a different invocation of "camo" or just a typo.

"Although Khaki is a great color for safari you should NEVER wear khaki on a safari." ???

Friday 28th of July 2023

Thanks for pointing this out Bob and I will get this edited. Camo i.e. military camouflage isn't great on safaris as depending on the country you are in it is illegal to wear camouflage outside of the military.

I hope you have a great trip

Colors to Wear on Safari in Tanzania (a Local’s Guide)

When going to Tanzania on Safari, the colors of the clothes you wear are an important consideration. I have lived in East Africa all my life and know a thing or two on the topic.

When going on a Tanzanian safari, wear clothes with neutral colors like Brown, Jungle Green and Beige that blend well with the Tanzanian Savannah. Avoid black and dark blue clothing since they easily attract tsetse flies. Also avoid white and bright colors since they get dirty easily.

Let’s take a deeper dive into the topic and discuss the different colors you should wear in different contexts when visiting Tanzania.

Colours to wear when on a safari drive in Tanzania

• Neutral colours : When going to see the animals when you are out on Safaris, you will need to wear neutral that are not conspicuous and easy to spot. This is because you generally want to blend in with the background so that you don’t startle the animals you will be viewing. If you are very conspicuous, you are more likely to scare away the animals as you approach them.
• Avoid White : there is a lot of dust both in the game drives and your journeys and this makes white clothes really hard to keep clean
• Colours suggestions for your game drives : brown, dark green, beige, grey, and cream
• Avoid Camo ( it’s illegal): unless you are military on official business, wearing clothes that resemble military wear is illegal in Tanzania and you might get in trouble with the authorities.
• Avoid Black and Blue: These colors attract tsetse flies and wearing them will make you more vulnerable to the pesky flies. Tsetse flies are so attracted to the color blue that they color tsetse fly traps blue in order to draw them in.

Colours to wear on safari evening’s in Tanzania

In the evenings most Tanzanian destinations have a lot of bugs and when you are dining outside, you will want to protect yourself from the bugs by. They usually get attracted to the light and bright colours.

Avoid wearing orange and yellow since these colours will make you more attractive to bugs.

Though this is not colour related, you will also want to cover up your arms and legs If you will be dining outdoors. This will help reduce mosquito bites.

Colours to wear when exploring Tanzanian towns

When our and about in Tanzania, avoid wearing something that will draw attention to you. The reason you don’t want to be conspicuous is that you will make it easy for pickpockets to pick you out from a crowd.

I’m not saying that there are a lot of criminals in Tanzania, however, you need to be vigilant and avoid making it easy for someone with ill intentions to carry out their plans.

In order to blend in, neutral colours are your best bet. Avoid bright orange, red and luminous colours.

On the same note, (This is not related to colour though) leave your flashy jewellery and devices in the hotel room when going to Tanzanian markets and bazaars. Pickpocketing is worst here and the best way of protecting yourself is carrying only what you need.

Colours to wear if you’ll be using public transportation

When using public transport in Tanzania, you need to make sure that you wear clothes that are will not easily be sold. Matatus (Public Service vehicles) in Tanzania are generally not very clean and if you wear white clothes, for instance, you will not be able to clean off the stains you may get very easily.

What To Wear On Safari

What clothes to pack for your safari.

The type of safari clothing you decide to pack for your safari will depend on a number of things, including the destination, time of year and what type of safari you’re going on. However, there are a number of universal principles when it comes to deciding what to wear on safari.

Click below to go straight to the most relevant section, or scroll down to read the full safari clothing article:

Safari wear basics | Safari shirts  | Trousers | Footwear | Safari hats  | What not to wear

Safari wear basics

What’s the best colour to wear on safari.

The basic rule of suitable colours for safari clothes is to go neutral . When trying to spot wildlife you’ll have the best chance if you blend in as much as possible with your surroundings, and bright colours will make you conspicuous to animals – particularly if you’re on a walking safari .

Ideal colours for safari wear are natural, such as:

• Light Browns

Whilst any other neutral colours are fine too, there are a number of colours you should definitely make sure you don’t wear on safari wear:

Camouflage clothing is a big no-no, and in some African countries it’s actually illegal , so leave the camouflage safari clothing at home!

White and very pale coloured clothes show up the dust, so are best kept for evening wear.

Dark blue and black colours attract insects and mosquitos, which can carry malaria, yellow fever and dengue fever – some of the most serious health risks you might encounter on safari.

Ideal safari clothing material

The ideal material for safari clothing is something that’s lightweight & breathable and makes minimal noise whilst you’re moving. Simple cotton works best for safari shirts and trousers, though there are increasing numbers of quality modern man-made materials that work just as well as cotton and are even more durable.

Think layers for safari wear

Packing lightweight safari wear has the benefit of enabling you to layer up or down according to need. Africa is a continent of extremes – it can be extremely cold through the night into the early morning and swelteringly hot by the middle of the day.

As such it’s a good idea to take multiple layers of safari clothing so you can add and remove layers as required – including at least one warm layer like a sweatshirt, fleece, or safari jacket . This is particularly important if you’re going to be doing any early morning safaris in an open-sided vehicle (though your lodge will likely provide blankets for early morning game drives).

What to wear on safari – the essentials

When it comes to safari clothing less is more, and most camps and lodges have same-day laundry services, so bear this in mind before packing a huge suitcase full of safari clothes! At a minimum you will need:

Safari shirts

A few comfortable long-sleeved shirts and long-sleeved t-shirts. Long-sleeved safari shirts have the advantage of offering protection from the sun and insects, but also being able to roll the sleeves up if it gets too hot.

Shirts with a collar to protect the neck from the harsh sun are advisable, as are shirts with pockets to store your bits and pieces (see our article on top things to take on safari if you’re after useful things to fill your pockets with!).

Our favourite men’s safari shirts:

[amazon box=”B07427LJG9,B00EO32DCW,B06XD5V6D9″ grid=”3″]

Our favourite women’s safari shirts:

[amazon box=”B0868LGBCY,B07115T7MB,B07M8BCYYK” grid=”3″]

Trousers & shorts

A pair of comfortable long trousers or two, and a pair of shorts. Combat style trousers and shorts are ideal safari gear as they have several pockets, great for storing compact binoculars, suncream, camera etc.

Long trousers have the benefit of keeping you warm and protecting you from the sun in the day and mosquito bites on evening and night game drives. Here are some good safari trouser options:

[amazon box=”B01D60XBVK,B08DTW3F7W,B00DQ5244G” grid=”3″]

The type of footwear required to wear on safari really depends on what type of safari you’re planning. For a standard game drive or self-drive safaris , special safari footwear isn’t necessary. You’ll be climbing in and out of safari jeeps and maybe a little walking around the bush, so comfortable trainers will work fine.

For more specialist safaris such as gorilla trekking  you’ll be trudging through thick, uneven rainforest, so rugged Gortex boots are ideal. For any kind of walking safari, it’s advisable to have some sort of hiking boots that cover your ankles – for protection from both bush and snakes. It’s also worth considering a small investment in some hiking specialist insoles to provide extra comfort.

[amazon box=”B0779Q9G9B,B081P5WBQV,B01HFPP89A” grid=”3″]

Whilst not essential safari wear, any hat or cap is better than none at all. It will give you protection from the sun, and also shield your eyes from the glare – meaning potentially better wildlife spotting opportunities. The ideal hat is a wide-brimmed safari hat to offer maximum protection.

Read our take here on the very best safari hats , or check out these great options from Amazon:

[amazon box=”B06XH2JSK7,B072J5JS25,B07K447FF5″ grid=”3″]

The African sun can offer a surprising amount of harsh glare, so you won’t want to forget sunglasses as part of your safari attire. A pair of polarized wrap-around sunglasses will give you protection from both the glare and the dust that’s a feature of many game drives, meaning more chance of spotting that hiding leopard!

Evening wear

When considering evening safari wear, bear in mind that the days of jackets and ties at the dinner table are long gone. Most safari lodges have relaxed dress codes for dinner so there’s no need to take any formal safari clothes with you.

You’ll want to wash and change after a hard and dusty day’s game viewing, but a pair of jeans or trousers and a long-sleeved shirt will suffice, perhaps along with a warm fleece or safari jacket to ward off the night-time chill. Light colours are recommended for evenings so you don’t attract mosquitoes.

Be sure to check out whether your lodge has a swimming pool and if so, don’t forget to pack some safari-chic swimwear. A dip between game drives during the middle of the day is a great way to contemplate your wildlife viewings (past and future!) whilst working the tan.

What not to wear on safari

The above information should give you a good overview of what safari clothes to take with you, but just in case you’re still in any doubt, here’s a list of the clothes you should absolutely not take with you on safari:

A camouflage safari outfit .  In a number of African countries, you can actually be arrested for wearing army-style camouflage clothes that could be confused with military wear. Best to avoid at all costs.

Overly thick fleeces and jackets . Temperatures on safari change depending on the time of day, where you are, and what altitude you’re at… so layered clothing is ideal to add or remove as the temperature requires.

Heavy walking boots . Unless you’re planning to do some serious hiking a pair of trainers will do for walking around camp and hopping in and out of your jeep.

Black and blue clothing . East Africa is home to the tsetse fly which is attracted to dark colors and packs a nasty bite – best avoided by wearing lighter colours.

Bright clothing. Don’t draw attention to yourself if you want the best chance of spotting wildlife .

Tuxedos & ballgowns. Yes, people do! Most safari lodges have a very relaxed dress code for dinner, and whilst you will want to wash and change after a hard day game viewing you won’t need to dress over-formally for any evening activities.

And one last ‘don’t do’ tip for packing your safari wear:

Packing it all in one large suitcase . Limit the risk of all of your luggage going missing or being stolen on the flight by packing some essentials – and one safari outfit – in your hand luggage.

Hi Colleen, as far as I’m aware there are no restrictions on camflage wear in South Africa, so you should be fine. That said, to be sure you should drop your safari lodge a line as they may have their own rules.

This is suitable for safaris! http://www.cafepress.com/guaxinim/9341456

Do you consider light to medium gray to be ok for colors

Hi Aggie, medium grey is a good colour for safari clothes, so long as it’s not too dark and not too light!

I would be interested in specific suggestions of brands to check out for women’s safari wear. Thanks, Barbara

An item I found extremely useful for gamedrives in open vehicles during winter is my large olive rain poncho. It works fine as a wind spiele and easily fits over the extra set of blankets you might wrap around you.

Excellent idea Birgit, I’ve never used a poncho, but I’d imagine they’re ideal for game drives – lightweight, and quick and easy to get on and off according to the weather.

Sounds like a great idea Birgit. We’ve been on a few high-end safaris where they’ve provided ponchos on bad weather game drives… but taking your own means you’ll be sure to stay dry!

What To Wear On Safari

A safari is an essential element to a memorable holiday to  South Africa . Make sure that you are packing correctly to get the most out of your adventure. The experts at Africa Travel have been sending people on African adventures for 30 years. They have shared their advice so that you know what to bring, what not to bring, and what to bring back.

The type of clothing to take on your safari holiday will depend on the time of year and what type of safari you are going on. Nevertheless, there are some essential tips that are universal.

What to Wear on Safari

• The best way to get close to the wildlife is to blend in with your surroundings as much as possible by going neutral. Wear greens, browns, and khakis so as to not attract unnecessary attention. For South Africa, khaki is the recommended colour
• Light-weight, breathable fabrics minimise noise when walking. Layers are a great way to pack light but stay warm. Temperatures can be cool on morning game drives, hot in the afternoon and cold at night. Layers allow you to remove clothing to make yourself comfortable as temperatures fluctuate
• Airy, long-sleeved shirts with a collar will keep the sun off your arms and neck
• Combat trousers are perfect with plenty of pockets to store your camera, sunscreen, and binoculars
• A light jacket or fleece is great for an extra layer of warmth in case you need it. Fleece is great because it dries quickly too
• Comfortable trainers are suitable for most safaris, even walking safaris. You can expect to be climbing in and out of the safari vehicle frequently and some light walking around the bush
• Hats are a fantastic way to protect your head and face from the sun in an open-top safari vehicle and they have the added benefit of reducing glare for better game viewing
• Sunglasses should be worn to block out harmful rays and polarised glasses will cut through the glare to make sure you don’t miss a thing
• Don’t forget to bring a swimsuit if your lodge has a pool
• For your evening meal, light colours are recommended so as to not attract mosquitoes. Linen trousers are the perfect way to look smart, stay cool, and prevent mosquito bites

What NOT to Wear on Safari

• Don’t bring bright-coloured clothing or busy patterns. This will draw attention to you and scare off the wildlife
• Avoid camouflage clothing as some African countries reserve this pattern for military personnel only
• Dark colours attract Tsetse flies, so stay away from dark blue or black clothing – they have a painful bite!
• White coloured clothing will quickly show dirt and dust, so try to go neutral instead
• Formal wear is not necessary as most lodges and camps have a relaxed dress code. Bring a smart, clean outfit to wear to dinner, but there is no need to go too formal
• Heavy hiking boots take up too much room in your suitcase and aren’t necessary for most safaris unless you have been told that your itinerary includes walking through the rainforest or harsh terrain

Now that you know what to wear, make sure you know how to pack. Most safari operators will ask that you only bring one suitcase, one overnight duffle bag, and one day pack. You might think you need more, but you won’t. Less is more on safari and you won’t even feel like you are roughing it – you will be well looked after at your lodge. If you are on a fly-in safari, you must pack in a soft-sided bag.  Large, rigid suitcases don’t easily fit on the light aircraft, which means that your luggage could be refused or delayed. Limit the risk of your luggage going missing by packing essentials and one safari outfit into your daypack, which you can bring as hand luggage on the flight or ground transfer to your safari lodge or camp.

The last thing to remember when packing is to leave extra space in your luggage for souvenirs. South Africa offers so many wonderful mementoes for you to remember your trip, you don’t want to have to worry about how to bring them home.

What to Bring Back

South Africa is famous for its wines, so you will want to bring back some to enjoy once you get back home. Some wineries allow you to blend your own wine, create your own labels, or cork your own sparkling wine. Most countries allow you to bring back two bottles of wine per person, but it is best to check with your local authorities.

• Brandy lovers will be spoiled for choice in South Africa. Brandy is the largest selling spirit in South Africa and is subject to the most stringent production regulations in the world. It is aged for at least 3 years in French oak casks to produce the unique flavour
• Amarula cream liqueur is also a popular souvenir because it has a wide appeal and features an elephant on the bottle
• Ostrich eggs, intricately carved and turned into lamps are quite durable and very unique
• Various wood carvings in the form of sculptures, bowls, and masks are great keepsakes and make unusual gifts

The Comprehensive Guide to What to Wear on Safari

• Family Safaris , Honeymoon Safaris

One of the first questions people ask after booking a safari is “what do I wear”? So we’ve put together some simple guidelines to help you out.

What to wear on Safari

• Layers – the temperature can vary rather a lot, so pack light layers that you can double up when necessary.
• Comfortable shoes – unless you’re on a walking safari, you won’t need hiking boots. But you will still want comfortable shoes. Closed toes are preferable when you’re out and about.  Open toe sandals or sturdy flip flops are sometimes a good option if you are in a vehicle-based safari.
• A hat – the sun can be fierce, so protect yourself with a lightweight hat. Pick one with a brim to help keep the sun out of your eyes too.
• A lightweight scarf is often useful to keep away flies and keep your neck warm during early morning / evenings
• Sunglasses – this goes without saying! Try and get decent-quality sunglasses with UV protection.
• Light, neutral colours – you should avoid dark black and blue clothes as they can attract certain insects, avoid bright patterns because they can attract mosquitos. There’s a good reason most safari clothes are in shades of beige, sand and khaki.
• Easy care clothes – you’ll be in and out of vehicles and out in the wild, so the last thing you need is to be worried about clothes with fussy care instructions. Pick clothes that won’t wrinkle easily and are simple to wash and dry.
• Comfort is key – look at your itinerary. How long are you going to be on the road on any given day? Think about how your clothes will feel after that long. Ditch anything that digs in or makes you uncomfortable.
• Sports bra – seriously. Some of the roads can get very bumpy and you’ll thank us for the extra support when you’re bouncing along.
• Swimming costume – if your camps have pools, make sure you pack accordingly.
• Long clothes – long sleeves and trousers or long skirts/shorts will help keep you covered, providing some level of protection from the sun and insects. This isn’t a replacement for insect repellant though, you’ll still need to pack that.
• Sunscreen – this is very important to protect your skin, especially in the hotter months.

What to wear on safari in winter

If you’re travelling during the rainy seasons, you’ll also need to pack a raincoat so that the weather doesn’t put a dampener on your trip. The rainy seasons in Kenya and Tanzania are from November to January and March to May.

If you tend to feel the cold, you might want to pack a warm hat especially if you have any early morning game drives – it can be chilly first thing and you will always have more fun if you’re not shivering. However, many of the camps put blankets in the car to keep you cosy.

Don’t forget that South Africa is in the southern hemisphere, so their summers and winters are the opposite times to ours.

Do you have to wear neutral colours on safari?

If you’re going on a walking safari, yes, you absolutely need to blend into the background. You’ll be walking into the territory of the animals you are hoping to see, and you don’t want to distract or scare them – white is too high contrast and will be very visible to animals. However, many of the animals are colour blind so it is the depth of colour rather than the shade that’s worth bearing in mind.

What NOT to wear on safari

There are a few more things to avoid if you want to have a relaxed and enjoyable safari. Don’t take your jeans – not only will you be far too hot, but denim takes forever to dry if you should get wet.

Camouflage patterned clothing is another no no. It is not a fashionable choice in Africa – it tends to be reserved for members of the military, so it is likely to draw unwanted attention, especially in airports or at border crossings.

High heels won’t get much use on safari – they’re impractical when you’re out and about, and unnecessary in the evenings. In other footwear advice, unless you’re on a safari that involves a lot of walking, you won’t need hardcore hiking boots either.

Safari luggage guide

If you have a safari and beach holiday, you may be able to store part of your luggage in lockers either at the airport or a hotel – we can help arrange this for you if you’d like to avoid carrying your beachwear along on your safari.

What to Wear on Safari + Packing List For Your Ultimate Adventure!

Have you ever noticed how everyone on safari sports a certain look? Clothes are light and breezy, colours tend to come in varying shades of beige and green, and layers are an absolute must.

Before going on safari in Kruger National Park , I thought this was purely for fashion’s sake, however, it turns out there’s a good reason for dressing this way. Bright colours are to be avoided because they attract animals plus they can be distracting for safari goers looking to spot wildlife, black and dark blue can attract tsetse flies (usually an issue in mid-continental  Africa  between the Sahara and the Kalahari Deserts), and white is usually a no go because dirt shows very easily. So what are you left with? Beige, green, and some natural earth tones.

In this post I’ll be sharing what to wear on safari complete with a packing list . Keep in mind that I did my safari in South Africa in autumn, so you’ll want to double check the temperatures according to where and when you’re going.

What to wear on Safari

Shirts: You’ll want light breathable fabrics in neutral tones. I packed a mix of short sleeve and capped sleeve shirts.

Pants: I mostly wore leggings on safari. I had one pair of cotton leggings that I pretty much wore nonstop and another pair of wool leggings that I wore overtop in the mornings until the day warmed up. If you’re not really into leggings, you could consider convertible  pants to shorts  to get you through the drastic change in temperature.

Fleece or warm hoodie:  A fleece or a thick hoodie is an absolute must. If you visiting Kruger National Park during the cooler months like I did, you’ll be seeing average highs around 25°C and lows that barely hover above 0°C. Now imagine driving in an open game viewing vehicle in the early morning with the wind whipping you in the face – that’s cold! Your safari operator will likely provide you with wool blankets to wrap yourself in, but you’ll want to be wearing all your warmest layers.

Jacket:  Aside from a fleece, it’s also a good idea to bring a jacket. This gives you an added layer of warmth, or you can wear it over your shirt once it’s too hot for your fleece.

Scarf:  I brought a light pashmina  mostly to wear in the mornings and evenings.

Gloves: I know this probably sounds extreme, but if you’re visiting during the winter months you’ll be glad you brought a pair of gloves or mittens. They don’t have to be thick; just something light to wear when it’s cold.

Hat: The sun can get quite strong during the day, so be sure to pack a hat, especially if you’re going to be doing some walking safaris. Something with a wide brim would be best so that you can get protection on the back of your neck.

Underwear and sports bra: Safari drives can be bumpy, so girls, choose something that works for you. As for underwear, a good option is  the ExOfficio route  which are quick-drying, odour resistant, and breathable.

Sneakers:  A pair of sneakers or running shoes is perfectly fine. Unless you’re planning on doing a long walking safari, there is no need for heavy hiking shoes .

Socks: I’d go for a crew sock that covers your ankles, because again, I was cold.

Flip Flops:  Flip flops are great to wear around camp in the afternoons or for the shower.

Sunglasses: I found a fun pair of Lennon sunglasses ( similar here ), but anything that’s going to keep the sun out of your eyes is fine.

Sunscreen: Safari days are along. Bring some SPF so you don’t end up with a bad sunburn.

Insect repellant: Mosquitoes were not an issue when I visited in winter, however, you may want to bring some repellent if you’re doing your safari during the warmer months.

Flashlight or headlamp:  Packing a flashlight or a headlamp is especially important if you’re doing a camping safari that involves a bit of a trek from your tent to the bathroom. Even though we ended up upgrading to a cottage (with electricity!), we still used it to get around the campsite and when we went out on a nighttime safari .

Binoculars: If you’re an avid wildlife spotter, you may want to consider packing a set of binoculars  to look at smaller animals or those that are further away. We had one set of binoculars to share in our vehicle, which was fine.

Water bottle and snacks:  It’s also a good idea to bring a refillable water bottle as well as some snacks since safari outings can be quite long.

Weekender bag: Depending on the length of your safari, you may want to bring along a weekender bag as opposed to hauling along all of your luggage. Most hotels and safari operators will hold your luggage for you, especially if you’re only planning to be away a few days.

Do you have any other suggestions of what to wear on safari?

Thanks for sharing. I guess almost everything is on the list, no need to suggest.

Did you wear black leggings? Just curious since you said they attract flies. All my leggings are pretty much black or dark blue!

Hi Mary, tse tse flies weren’t an issue where I was travelling, so dark leggings were not a big consideration for me. However, if you’re doing your safari somewhere in mid-continental Africa, then you’ll want to think about the colours you take.

I packed a grey ultralight down jacket for a September safari in Kenya. It really came in handy. Sleeping in a luxury tent camp is just as chilly as a regular tent! I used my jacket as an extra layer at night. I was very glad to wear it for my 4:30 am hot air balloon ride and the 6 am game drives. The days warm up quickly, but the early mornings can be quite cool. The jacket fit easily into my day bag and kept me comfortable. Remember that open top safari cars get a lot of sun, and the seats get hot. Choose knee-length skirts and shorts shorts or capris for comfort as well as cultural sensitivity. Grey is a good color for safari, and looks nice for the stopover cities in Europe. I packed a silk dress for dinner and a maxi skirt for visiting villages. I received many compliments wearing a long skirt in Kenya. My favorite pieces were my Macabi skirt, Mountain Hardwear skirt, and down jacket.

Your green utility jacket looks cute and functional. Where is it from?

That’s been in my closet for aaaages! I believe it was from Bluenotes.

On my recent safari to Tanzania, I brought all of the neutral colors, however, I wish I brought some of my other tops in different colors for dinners and when not on game drives.

Thank you for the list, it’s a very helpful overview while preparing for a safari!

Hi, I’m from South Africa and I do agree with some of these but wearing neutral colours it not the most important thing. I wouldn’t wear the brightest colours but generally people don’t care what you wear. Just wear anything comfortable because in my opinion that is the most important thing. Just another tip if you are going in the morning or in the evening but on layers because it starts of cold and then gets very hot in the morning (on night drives bring layers with as it will get cold in Summer or Winter).

What Colors Do You Wear On A Safari?

If you’re planning a safari trip, you’re probably wondering what sorts of clothes you should pack. We recommend packing neutral-colored clothing items like khaki, brown, beige/tan, and green. These colors will help you blend in with your surroundings and are best-suited for safari travel for a few important reasons.

So, What colors do you wear on a safari?

The best colors to wear on a safari are neutral colors like khaki, brown, beige/tan, and green. These colors blend in well with the environment and are best suited for safari travel for a few important reasons.

Let’s dig into it and see if we can find a solution.

What Colors Are Best To Wear On A Safari?

When planning what to wear on a safari, it’s important to consider both the climate and the activity level. For instance, you’ll want to dress differently for a game drive than you would for a bush walk. And, of course, you’ll want to be comfortable and stylish.

Assuming you’ll be doing a mix of activities, the best colors to wear on a safari are neutrals like khaki, olive, and tan. These colors will help you blend in with your surroundings and avoid looking like a tourist.

Bright colors, on the other hand, can be a bit of a mixed bag. On the one hand, they can make you stand out in a crowd. On the other hand, they can attract unwanted attention from insects. If you do choose to wear bright colors, be sure to pack long-sleeved shirts and pants to protect your skin.

Of course, the best way to stay comfortable and stylish on a safari is to pack a mix of both neutral and bright colors. That way, you can dress for any occasion.

What Colors Should You Avoid Wearing On A Safari?

There are a few reasons why certain colors are best avoided when going on safari. The first reason is that certain colors are more likely to attract insects. Bright colors, like white, yellow, and pink, are especially attractive to bugs. Wearing these colors will likely result in more bug bites.

Another reason to avoid certain colors on safari is that some animals are colorblind. This means that they will have a difficult time seeing you if you are wearing certain colors. For example, if you are wearing green, you may blend in with the foliage and the animal may not see you. This could result in a dangerous situation.

Finally, some animals are attracted to certain colors. If you are wearing a color that an animal is attracted to, you may end up getting too close to the animal for comfort. For example, wearing red may attract a bull, which could be dangerous.

In general, it is best to stick to neutral colors, like black, brown, and gray, when going on safari. These colors are less likely to attract insects, animals, and attention. Wearing neutral colors will help you blend in with your surroundings and stay safe on your safari adventure.

What Colors Will You Be Wearing On Your Safari?

When planning a safari, it is important to consider what colors you will be wearing. This is because certain colors can attract insects, which can be a nuisance, or even dangerous. It is also important to consider the climate and terrain you will be travelling in, as some colors may be more appropriate than others.

Generally, it is best to avoid wearing brightly colored clothing on a safari. This is because bright colors can attract insects, which can be a nuisance, or even dangerous. It is also important to consider the climate and terrain you will be travelling in, as some colors may be more appropriate than others.

In general, it is best to stick to neutral colors such as khaki, beige, and olive green. These colors will help you blend in with your surroundings and avoid attracting unwanted attention. If you are travelling in a hot climate, light-colored clothing will help you stay cool. In a cold climate, dark-colored clothing will help you stay warm.

Whatever colors you choose to wear on your safari, make sure you are comfortable in them. You will be spending a lot of time outdoors, and you want to be able to enjoy your trip without worrying about your clothes.

What Colors Do You Think Are Appropriate For A Safari?

When planning a safari, it is important to consider the colors you will wear. This is because certain colors can attract unwanted attention from wildlife. For example, wearing bright colors can make you look like a walking piece of fruit to a hungry bird or monkey. Likewise, white can stand out against the green foliage and make you an easy target for predators.

So, what colors should you wear on a safari? To blend in with your surroundings, it is best to stick to neutral earth tones like khaki, olive green, and brown. These colors will help you stay hidden from animals, whether you are on foot or in a vehicle.

Of course, you should also dress for the weather. In hot climates, light-colored clothing will help you stay cool, while in colder areas, layers of dark clothing will help you stay warm. No matter what the temperature is, always wear closed-toe shoes to protect your feet from bites and stings.

By following these tips, you can choose the right colors for your safari and have a safe and enjoyable trip.

What Colors Do You Think Would Be Too Much For A Safari?

When it comes to safari, there are a few colors that you should definitely avoid. These include bright white, which can attract unwanted attention from insects, and anything too dark, which will make it difficult to spot animals. You should also steer clear of anything too loud or patterned, as this can scare away the wildlife.

What Colors Do You Think Would Make You Stand Out Too Much On A Safari?

We all know that feeling when we’re out in nature and we want to fit in, to not be seen. But there are some colors that just make us stand out too much, no matter how hard we try. Here are some colors to avoid on a safari:

1. Neon colors

Neon colors are just too bright and will make you stand out like a sore thumb on a safari. They’ll also attract insects, so it’s best to avoid them altogether.

While white is a classic color, it’s just too easy to spot on a safari. If you’re looking to blend in, white is definitely not the right color.

Black is another color that is easy to spot. It will absorb heat and make you stand out in the night.

4. Bright colors

Bright colors, like red, orange, and yellow, are also easy to spot. They can also be distracting and make it difficult to see animals.

5. Patterned clothing

Patterned clothing can also be distracting and make it difficult to see animals. If you want to blend in, stick to solid colors.

What Colors Do You Think Would Make You Blend In Too Much On A Safari?

If you’re planning a safari trip, you might be wondering what colors you should wear to blend in with your surroundings. After all, you don’t want to stand out like a sore thumb and attract unwanted attention from the wildlife!

Here are some suggested colors to help you blend in on a safari:

This is a classic safari color and it’s easy to see why. Khaki is a neutral shade that won’t stand out against the natural colors of the bush. It’s also a practical choice as it won’t show the dirt and dust that is inevitable on a safari.

2. Olive green

Another great option for a safari is olive green. This color is also quite neutral and will help you blend into your surroundings. It’s a good choice if you want something a little different from the classic khaki safari look.

Brown is another good color for a safari. It’s a little darker than khaki and olive green, so it will help you blend in even more. Again, it’s a practical choice as it won’t show the dirt and dust.

If you really want to blend in on a safari, then black is the way to go. It’s the perfect color to wear if you want to disappear into the shadows and not be seen!

While you might think that wearing white would be a bad idea on a safari, it can actually be quite effective. White is a very neutral color and will help you blend in with your surroundings. Just be sure to avoid wearing anything too bright or patterned, as this will make you stand out.

So, there you have it, some suggested colors to help you blend in on a safari. Khaki, olive green, brown, black, and white are all great choices. Just be sure to avoid anything too bright or patterned and you’ll be good to go!

What Color Should You Not Wear On An African Safari?

When planning what to wear on an African safari, it’s important to consider the climate and the wildlife. Black and dark blue clothing can be a major attractant for tsetse flies, which are a nuisance and can transmit disease.

In addition, bright white clothes may not be the best choice for safari since they can easily become dingy from the dust. Instead, opt for light-colored or neutral-toned clothing that will help you blend in with your surroundings and avoid attracting unwanted attention from the local wildlife.

Additionally, When going on safari, it is best to avoid wearing black or dark blue clothing. Tsetse flies are attracted to these colors, and you don’t want to be bothered by them. It is also a good idea to leave bright white clothes at home, as they may get dingy in the dusty safari parks. You want to be able to see the wildlife on safari, not look like you’re part of the herd!

Is Grey Ok To Wear On Safari?

Most people would never dream of going on safari without packing a pair of shorts and a shirt. After all, what could be more comfortable in the heat of the day than a light and airy set of clothes? However, there are times when you might wish you had chosen to cover up a little more.

For example, when you’re out on a game drive or taking a short walk through the bushes, you might find yourself wishing you had chosen to wear pants instead of shorts. Light-colored pants in cream, khaki, or gray are a good choice for game drives and walks, as they will help you blend in with your surroundings more than darker colors would.

Furthermore, Shorts and shirts are comfortable to wear on a safari, but you might want to wear something else during the game drives and short walks in the bushes. Light weight pants in light colors like cream, khaki and Chinos or grey are good for the game drives and walks.

How Should You Dress For A Safari?

When planning what to wear on safari, there are a few key factors to consider: comfort, protection and of course, style. The most important thing is to be comfortable – you’ll be spending long days in a hot climate, so light, airy fabrics are a must. Natural fibres such as linen and cotton are ideal, as they’re breathable and won’t make you feel too hot.

It’s also important to think about protection from the sun and from insects. Safari is all about being out in nature, so you’ll want to make sure you’re well-protected from the elements. A wide-brimmed hat is a essential to keep the sun off your face, and you might also want to consider long-sleeved shirts and trousers made from light, airy fabrics. Insect repellent is also a must – no one wants to be bothered by mosquitoes when they’re trying to enjoy the wildlife!

Of course, you also want to make sure you look good on safari. After all, you’ll be spending a lot of time being photographed! Khaki is always a popular choice for safari clothing, as it’s neutral and blends in well with the surroundings. However, don’t be afraid to inject a bit of colour into your outfit – after all, a safari is the perfect opportunity to experiment with your style.

Can I Wear Red On Safari?

So, can you wear red on safari? The answer is a resounding yes! There is no rule that says you can only wear khaki on safari. In fact, the animals don’t really care what colour you choose to wear. So feel free to pack your favourite red shirt or dress for your next safari adventure.

Along with, When going on safari, you don’t have to worry about wearing the perfect clothes. The animals won’t care what you’re wearing, as long as you’re comfortable. So don’t feel like you need to buy a whole new wardrobe of clothes. Just wear whatever you’re comfortable in and enjoy the experience.

Can You Wear Black On Safari?

Whether or not you can wear black on safari depends on a few factors. If you are going on a safari in Africa, for example, you will want to dress in light-colored clothing to help you blend in with your surroundings. Wearing black could make you stand out and make you an easy target for predators.

That said, if you are going on a safari in a place like Australia, where the animals are used to humans, you can probably get away with wearing black. Just be sure to check with your safari guide before you pack your wardrobe.

Can You Wear Red On Safari?

This is a question that I get asked a lot, and it’s one that I never really thought about until I went on my first safari. The answer is yes, you can wear red on safari, but there are a few things to consider before doing so.

For starters, red is a very bright color and will stand out against the natural colors of the African landscape. If you’re planning on doing any game drives or walking safaris, you might want to consider wearing something that will blend in a bit more with your surroundings.

Another thing to consider is that red is a very warm color, and you’re likely to be spending a lot of time outdoors in the heat. Wearing red might make you a bit more susceptible to heat exhaustion.

Finally, red is the color of blood, and while it’s unlikely that you’ll run into any dangerous animals on safari, it’s best to avoid wearing anything that might attract their attention.

So, while you can wear red on safari, it’s probably not the best idea. Stick to neutral colors like tan, green, or brown and you’ll be sure to have a great time on your African adventure.

Can You Wear White On Safari?

Whether you can wear white on safari depends on where you are going and what you will be doing. If you are going on a safari in Africa, for example, you may want to avoid wearing white because it can stand out and make you a target for animals. If you are going on a safari in Asia, however, you may be able to get away with wearing white. It really all depends on the specific situation.

What Color Is A Safari Shirt?

This is a question that I get a lot. And the answer is, well, it depends.

There are many different colors of safari shirts out there. Some are more traditional earth tones, like khaki or olive green. Others are more colorful, like blue or even pink.

really depends on your personal style and the look you’re going for. If you want to blend in with your surroundings, earth tones are probably your best bet. But if you want to stand out from the crowd, go for a brighter color.

No matter what color you choose, make sure it’s one that you feel comfortable in. After all, you’ll be wearing it on your safari adventure!

We hope this has inspired you to pack neutral-coloured clothing for your next African safari adventure! But there’s more to consider than just what colours to wear. Stay tuned for our next blog post where we’ll provide more helpful tips for packing for a safari.

What Colors Should I Wear On A Safari?

This is a question that many people ask when they are planning a trip to Africa. The answer is not as simple as it may seem. There are a few factors that you need to take into account when choosing what to wear on a safari.

The first thing you need to consider is the climate. Safari is a Swahili word meaning “journey”, and it is typically used to refer to a trip taken to view or photograph wildlife in their natural habitat. Africa is a very large continent with a variety of climate zones. The climate will vary depending on what part of Africa you are visiting. For example, if you are going on a safari in Kenya, you can expect the weather to be hot and dry. However, if you are going on a safari in Tanzania, you can expect the weather to be more humid.

The second thing you need to consider is the type of safari you are going on. There are two main types of safaris: game drives and walking safaris. Game drives are usually done in open-air vehicles, such as jeeps or Land Rovers. Walking safaris are just what they sound like – you will be walking through the bush with a guide, tracking wildlife on foot. The type of safari you choose will determine what type of clothing you need to wear.

If you are going on a game drive, you will want to wear clothing that is comfortable and cool. Lightweight, long-sleeved shirts and pants are a good choice. You will also want to wear a hat to protect yourself from the sun. If you are going on a walking safari, you will need to wear sturdy, comfortable shoes.

The third thing you need to consider is the time of year you are going on safari. Africa is in the southern hemisphere, so the seasons are reversed from what we are used to in the northern hemisphere.

Where Can I Find A Safari Outfit For A Female?

This is a question I get a lot, and it’s not an easy one to answer. There are many different types of safari outfits, and what works for one person might not work for another. The best way to figure out what to wear on a safari is to start with the basics and then add your own personal style.

Here are the basic elements of a safari outfit for women:

1. A hat – This is one of the most important pieces of safari gear, and it should be big enough to protect your face from the sun. A wide-brimmed sun hat is ideal.

2. Loose, breathable clothing – Safari is a hot, dusty environment, so you want to be sure to wear clothing that will keep you cool and won’t trap sweat and dirt. Lightweight, natural fabrics like cotton are a good choice.

3. Long pants – You’ll want to protect your legs from the sun and from bites, so long pants are a must.

4. Comfortable shoes – You’ll be doing a lot of walking on a safari, so comfortable shoes are essential. A pair of sturdy walking shoes or hiking boots is a good choice.

5. binoculars – These are a must-have for any safari, as they’ll help you spot wildlife from a distance.

Now that you have the basics, you can start to add your own personal touch. Here are some ideas:

1. Add a pop of color – Safari is a great opportunity to experiment with bold, bright colors.

2. Accessorize – A scarf, belt, or piece of jewelry can add a touch of personality to your outfit.

3. Layer – Wearing layers will help you stay comfortable in varying temperatures.

How To Dress For Safari?

Assuming you would like a detailed explanation on how to dress for a safari, there are a few key points to keep in mind.

First, consider the climate you will be traveling to and the activities you will be participating in. It is important to dress in layers that you can easily add or remove as the temperature changes throughout the day.

For example, a light-weight long-sleeved shirt paired with shorts or a skirt would be appropriate for a hot climate, but you may want to add a sweater or jacket for cooler evenings. It is also important to wear comfortable shoes that you can walk or hike in, as well as clothes that provide protection from the sun, such as a wide-brimmed hat.

When it comes to colors, it is best to stick to neutral tones like khaki, brown, or green, as these will help you blend in with your surroundings. You also want to avoid wearing anything that is too bright, as this can attract attention from animals. Finally, remember to pack insect repellent and sunscreen, as well as a first-aid kit, just in case.

What Not To Wear On Safari?

One of the most important things to consider when packing for a safari is what to wear. There are many factors to take into account, such as the climate, the terrain and the activities you’ll be undertaking. With that in mind, here are a few things to avoid wearing on safari.

1. High heels Heels are a fashion no-no for any kind of outdoor activity, but they’re especially impractical on safari. Not only will they make it difficult to walk around in the rough terrain, but they’ll also make you a target for predators.

2. Bright colours While you might think that wearing bright colours will make you more visible to your fellow safari-goers, in reality it will make you stand out like a sore thumb to the wildlife. Opt for neutral colours that will blend in with your surroundings.

3. Fussy fabrics Another thing to avoid on safari are fussy fabrics. You’ll be spending a lot of time in the heat and dust, so opt for breathable fabrics that won’t make you sweat.

4. Heavy jewellery You might want to leave your diamond necklace at home when packing for safari. Not only is it likely to get dirty and damaged, but it could also attract unwanted attention from thieves or predators.

5. Anything white While white might be the colour of choice for many safari-goers, it’s actually one of the worst colours to wear. Not only will it show up the dirt and dust, but it will also make you a sitting duck for predators.

Static small blue square only in safari on iPad gen 4

I’m running iOS 17 on iPad gen 4

Begin with a forced-restart of your iPad - as this will often clear an isolated software issue:

Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

• Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
• Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
• Press and hold the top button.
• When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.

Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)

Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.

If the problem persists after performing the restart, the next step is to reset your iPad settings. While this reset will not cause any loss of data, as a precaution, it is always wise to ensure that you have a current iCloud or iTunes backup before performing the reset:

How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

When you are happy to proceed, you can perform the reset from iPad settings:

Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Reset > Reset All Settings

If the problem still doesn’t clear, the next logical step is to reset the iPad to factory settings:

• Feint blue line on my iPad Pro screen. Hello everyone, Today my iPad suddenly has a feint blue line towards the left side of the screen. I assume it is hardware related because when turning my iPad on and off, the line becomes very prominent due to the dark screen. It is odd though, because when there are lighter colours like white, blue and light grey, the line seems to disappear. Please note that I have never actually dropped my iPad because I always keep it in a protective case with the magic keyboard case.

What to wear on an African safari

Apart from looking stylish in your Insta posts, you want your safari outfits to work for you in other ways, namely protecting you from the elements and insects. We discuss what to wear, as well as reveal the surprising reason why blue is no-go on safari.

The 5 basics of a good safari outfit

No matter where or when you go on a safari, these are the five principles we suggest you use to guide your safari wardrobe:

1. Wear long sleeves and pants

Long pants and long-sleeved tops keep your skin covered and so protect you from the cold and wind, sun, and insect bites. While many places in Africa can get really hot, remember that some can also get downright chilly! This is especially true of many inland places when you're out on safari early in the morning or at night.

Long pants are especially useful if you're going on a walking safari or a game drive where you're allowed to sometimes exit the vehicle. This is because they help to protect your legs from being scratched or bitten.

Long pants help protect your legs from becoming scratched or bitten

2. Choose neutral and earthy colours

The idea on a safari is that you spot wild animals – not that they spot you. So you want to blend in with the environment as much as possible to avoid drawing unnecessary attention to yourself. This is especially true for cycling or walking safaris, where there's the chance to get really close to certain animals.

Avoid camouflage clothing, as some African nations reserve that for the military. But good colour choices include earthy tones and neutrals like brown, khaki and grey. You probably want to avoid white, cream and other light colours as they'll show up any dust and dirt. Black isn't great for keeping you cool, and blue can actually attract tsetse flies!

We recommend you not wear white clothes on a safari drive as the roads can be really dusty

3. Wear closed shoes

Closed shoes are especially important if you're going on one of the kinds of safari where you get out of the vehicle, like on a walking safari. The ground can be uneven, thorny, and there are snakes and other critters – so please protect your feet. Good, worn-in hiking boots, worn with hiking socks, are best for walking safaris. Some even like to wear gaiters on safari walks to ensure they won't suffer a snake bite.

4. Bring a proper sunhat

You need to wear a sunhat on safari in order to prevent burning and also possibly heatstroke. A hat with a full brim is far better than a sports cap as it protects the back of your neck in addition to your face. A crown-less peak or visor isn't a great idea as your head can burn badly, especially if you have a parting or some hair thinning or balding.

Safari vehicles vary widely, but often you're highly exposed to the sun and elements

5. Avoid strong perfume or cologne

You don't want the wildlife to move away from you because they're bothered by your foreign-smelling perfume or cologne. Rather let the animals – and your fellow safari-goers – enjoy the smell of the great outdoors. (That said, please don't refrain from applying your morning deodorant – nobody is advocating for that!)

Protection from the cold

Game drives often happen early in the morning and around sundown, as this is a good time to see the animals since they like to move about and hunt in the cooler parts of the day. Depending on your location and the time of the year, these morning and evening game drives can be chilly, even downright cold.

On morning and evening game drives you want to wear:

• A warm fleece
• Socks and closed shoes

If you're doing a rare night-time safari, then the cold can be an even more pressing issue. Don't be surprised if your safari guide hands out blankets.

Some parks allow night-time safaris, which are very special but can also be really cold!

Convertible pants are a great safari clothing choice as you can remove the lower legs when you get hot.

We recommend stashing a rainproof jacket in your backpack or the vehicle – even if it's a hot, cloudless day – just to be safe. The weather can turn, and you don't want the cold or wet ruining your adventure.

If you're driving in an open vehicle, a rainproof jacket is also a good idea

Protection from heat and sunburn

Many African safaris take place in really hot regions, and the sun can be strong. Humidity can also be intense. It's vital that you cover up to avoid sunburn. And this goes for cloudy days too – you can 100% burn even through cloud cover.

When you go an African safari, you want to protect yourself from the heat and sunburn by wearing:

• A loose-fitting, long-sleeved top (you can always roll up the sleeves if you get too hot)
• A wide-brimmed hat that covers your face and neck (even better is a hat made from material specially designed to protect you from UV rays)

These two know their stuff – brimmed hats, shades, and earth-coloured clothes that keep their skin covered up

We recommend still wearing closed shoes even if doing a midday safari drive. This will protect your feet from sunburn. But if you do choose sandals, please be sure to put sunscreen on your feet – folks often forget to protect the skin on the top of their feet.

Apart from protecting your skin, be sure to combat the heat by bringing along plenty of water, especially in humid regions where one sweats a lot.

Note that you want a sunscreen that protects you from both UVA and UVB rays. Many African safaris take place near to the Equator, where the sun is fierce. So protect your exposed skin with a quality sunblock. And don't forget the backs of your hands!

Sunglasses are also a great asset on an African safari.

You should wear sunblock on both cloudless and cloudy days

Protection from insects

When going on an African safari, the one kind of wildlife you're not interested in meeting: the local insects. Your safari wardrobe needs to bear these critters in mind not only from a comfort point of view, but also from a safety one.

One of the key reasons for recommending long-sleeved tops, long pants and closed shoes is that they protect you from insect bites. And while some insect bites are just a nuisance, we especially have mosquitoes in mind. Many African safaris take place in malaria zones. So avoiding mozzie bites is of great importance.

Another insect you really don't want biting you is the tsetse fly, which transmits the bacterial disease that causes sleeping sickness. They're attracted by the colour blue, so avoid wearing blue on safari. Bright blue in particular is alluring to them.

Avoid blue clothing while on safari in Africa, as this colour attracts tsetse flies.

The three primary ways to avoid insect bites while out on safari are:

• Covering up
• Using an insect repellent (lotion or spray on)
• Taking anti-malaria medication

At night, you should ideally also sleep under a mosquito net. Any establishment worth their salt will have these as standard in bedrooms. But it could be worth checking up on this before you book your accommodation.

Is it time to pack your safari-smart clothing and head on over to Africa for a safari??

And there you have it! You now know what to pack for an African safari to be both safe and comfortable. How you style it all is up to you. 😎

AFRICAN  SAFARI  HOME

What to wear on safari in africa.

Watch the video to see real-life examples of the best clothes to wear on safari, what the guides wear, what the safari guests wear and even what to wear in the evenings.

With a seductive setting Africa reveals lions roaring by night, the call of a jackal at dawn, treks into the wilderness and stays in luxury safari lodges and mobile camps set in the most idyllic locations in the wild.

The African Safari remains one of the greatest gifts you can award yourself, yet for most in the planning stage, there are many questions relating to what to wear on safari  and how best to prepare for this trip of a lifetime.

This guide offers useful advice to help you plan for your dream African Safari vacation!

What to Wear on Safari

– Autumn hues and neutral colours are the best and most popular clothes on Safari – beiges, browns, greens etc. and shades of blue. The idea is no bright, neon or white in the bush as these alert the local wildlife to your presence when spotted.

– T-shirts, shorts or light skirts, cotton or linen clothing, jeans in winter or safari trousers for evenings and cooler days.

– Hat and sunblock.

– The days warm up whatever time of year it is, so you’ll want to be in light and cool clothing by around midday.

– Days on safari are generally hot. In the mornings and evenings, long-sleeved shirts and slacks are better and will also protect you from mosquitoes.

For those sensitive to the sun, a loose cotton shirt is a good bet during the day, as is sunscreen.

For colder mornings, layering clothing helps keep you warm and is a convenient way to ensure you’re wearing what you need as the day heats up.

– A light, compact raincoat is a good idea for the summer.

– For the ladies a big floppy hat, healthy collection of interchangeable scarves and a little slip of a dress to make you feel beautiful on those warm summer evenings, goes a very long way when deciding what to wear.

– Remember to pack swimming costumes / bathing suits as most of the safari lodges and camps have swimming pools.

– A pair of walking (not hiking) shoes and sports socks should you opt to do a walking safari, which we highly recommend. Although at the end of the day there’s nothing better than hanging up your shoes and putting on light flip flops or slip-ons to walk around the camp in.

– Don’t be mislead, temperatures can drop drastically in the winter and you'll want warm safari clothes like a jacket, fleece, gloves, scarf and woolen hat to guard you from the cold on that open vehicle during your stay.

– Make sure you don’t bring your best clothes to wear if you are planning on doing a walking safari or spending time in a more rustic camp, they could get caught up on thorns, or damaged a little on a long stay.

– The African safari experience is relaxed and all about reconnecting with nature, you can leave your best clothes and jewelry at home, replacing it with an open mind and heart.

What to Wear on Safari in the evenings?

After an adventure filled day of spotting your favourite animals on safari, you'll return to the lodge where you can relax and freshen up before dinner.

Evenings are typically spent in the boma outdoors if the weather permits, or indoors in the lodge dining area. Evening attire is casual and more often than not your tracker and guide will have a shower and change into long REI-style trousers with the beige or earth toned lodge shirt. My point is, these affairs are even relaxed in the bush, so there is no need to wear your Monaco best in Africa, as long as you are comfortable, everyone is happy in Africa :)

The Unavoidable Essentials

– Your Passport and copies of your passport, kept separately

– Credit cards – remember to let your bank know you’ll be traveling abroad before you leave

– Contact information of the places you’ll be staying at, transfer companies and your tour operator and a print out of your reservations.

– Driver’s license (if you’ll be driving in South Africa)

– Travel Insurance details

– Local guidebooks, bird and animal guidebooks and small maps can be handy

– A travel journal to make notes of the animals you saw and experiences of the day

– Yellow Fever Inoculation certificate – if required for the country you'll visit.

– Carry some cash as you may visit a local village or craft shop where you can pick up some unique souvenirs, also for gratuities for the lodge staff, tracker and safari guide, which you’re likely to leave on departure.

– Insect Repellent and Malaria prophylactics if required in the area you will visit. Consult your doctor for these prior to traveling.

– Your cellphone, laptop or tablet – although we do encourage a complete disconnect.

– Chargers and an international adaptor if required.

– We recommend that you pick up a local sim card in arrival in South Africa, it makes for affordable and easier communication.

– A basic first aid kit, prescription medicine and personal toiletries, lip balm, tissues, a packet of wet wipes and a flashlight.

– Your camera with lots of memory cards and even an external hard drive to back up your photos each day. You will need much more storage space than you anticipate and you don’t want to risk losing your captured memories.

– A personal set of binoculars would be wonderful.

– A small backpack to take on your game drives, for your camera, binoculars etc.

Additional Suggestions

– Try and pack everything you want to wear on safari into a soft bag with one smaller piece of hand luggage per person, with the weight not being more than 20kg, and even as little as 12-15kg on some light aircraft transfers.

You don’t need as much as you think you do and most lodges and camps offer a laundry service, especially the all inclusive safari lodges.

– When traveling, the best habit is to allow everything to have a place and stick to it. This makes it easy to find things on the move and minimises the risk of losing anything, as at a glance you will know what is where and if something is missing.

– Take a padlock as a precaution to lock your bag when flying or traveling.

– Try and get a waterproof or dust-proof cover for your camera bag.

There is nothing more humbling and surreal than a true African Safari and your choice of reserve and lodge matters greatly.

It is recommended that you communicate your expectations with African Safari Home so that we can match your dream with the right property.

Be sure to be clear on your focus, be it luxury, big 5, walking, game drives, remote private concessions or national park.

Remember that your Africa safari vacation is about connecting with nature and yourself in the most unique and tranquil settings on earth, so feel free to wear clothes that you are comfortable in and don't worry about impressing other guests, it's not that type of vacation.
