When you go on a South African safari you’re essentially putti9ng yourself in an extremely hot an harsh environment. This means that the right clothing is a must. We recommend you think carefully about your clothing and use them to your benefit, and sun cream doesn’t always d the job in Africa, sometimes it’s better to cover up with light clothes.

Pale t-shirts and trousers will show up dirt and flies, while dark colours will attract the sun more and leaving you feeling hot. Khakis and brows are the stereotypical safari colours and that’s because they work, they also help to camouflage you; helping you get better views of animals without them spotting you.

Typical items include a hat, a safari jacket, a vest, and trousers and shirts for those evening walks. It is preferred to wear trousers in the day to if the weather is too hot, but that will come down to your own preference.
