What to pack for a safari?

Here's your essential packing guide for a safari adventure!

 Clothing:

• Keep it casual & comfy! Think shorts, t-shirts, or light trousers for those game drives.

• Stick to neutral tones like beige, khaki, and brown (avoid camouflage, blue, or black!).

• Quick-drying fabrics and breathable shirts with ventilation are perfect.

• Bring long sleeves and trousers for evenings to protect against pesky mosquitoes.

• Layer up with a fleece or jumper for chilly mornings & evenings-warm jacket, scarf, and gloves needed between April & October. 

 Accessories:

• Wide-brimmed hat for sun protection. 

• A small, lightweight backpack for your game drives.

• Sunglasses, sunscreen, and lip balm.

• Mosquito repellent, insect relief & malaria tablets if necessary.

• A small torch or headlamp for evening walks. 

Footwear:

• Trainers or comfy walking boots if you're planning joining a walking safaris or trek.

• Sandals for daytime wear during the warmer months.

 Other Must-Haves:

• Swimsuit for those lovely lodge pools 

• Binoculars (10x42 is ideal for spotting wildlife).

• Camera gear-don’t forget spare batteries and memory cards! 

• Wet wipes & hand sanitizer for those dusty moments.

• Reusable water bottle to stay hydrated! 

• A small gift like pens & notebooks for local kids.

Bonus Tip:

Bring along a book on African mammals and birds to help you identify what you see!
