When travelling on safari we recommend that you keep your luggage to the basics for your African experience. Whilst on safari bright and contrasting colours (black & white) are not advised. We recommend that you stick to neutral colours such as khaki, beige or bottle green. Dark colours are not great especially if you are going to be out in the sun. Tsetse flies love colours like blue or black. Don’t forget to bring a hat! In winter, make sure to take warm clothing as the evenings and early mornings are cool.

Some people often make the mistake of purchasing expensive hiking boots when going on safari. This is not the necessary as typically you would not get out of the game drive vehicle and when you do, there is no strenuous activity. If you are doing the likes of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro then you will need proper hiking boots, although if you are going on a safari experience comfortable covered shoes are perfectly acceptable.

When travelling to metropolitan cities, pack what you would typically pack when travelling to cities.
