Generally, casual comfortable clothing is suitable throughout the year, dull neutral
colours are most suitable.
The most practical items for safari are:
• T shirts
• Jeans or safari trousers for the cool evenings and
mornings
• A fleece or warm sweater for those early morning game drives.
• A good pair of sunglasses
• Sun block, a hat and insect repellent are essential
• Binoculars and a camera with lots of film! For digital ensure batteries are charged there
is no electricity in the bush.
• A headlamp or torch are vital.
• If you enjoy a whisky or the like you are welcome to bring a bottle along.
• A towel, and your own toiletries (ladies please remember there are no shops for
emergencies)
• Any medication if necessary, we do have a medical aid box with the basics.
• There will be times when you are exposed to the sun so a thin long sleeve shirt
may come in handy .
• The early morning drives will be cold in the winter months -so layers are best to
keep out the chill in the back of the game drive vehicle.
• Please attempt to travel as light as possible - space is always an issue on longer safaris.
Last but not least , a sense of humour ........
........ this is Africa!!
