Summer in South Africa is normally very hot and the temperatures will often be in the high 30’s so bring plenty of cool lose clothes to wear but you may be surprised to know that it can be quite chilly on the early morning game drives, so layers are a must. Often on Safari people get a lot dirtier than they expect because of the dusty roads.

If you are flying between camps or parks you may want to pack lightler as the luggage restriction can be very low so you don’t want to find yourself having to leave a load of clothes behind. There might be the occasional rain storm so you may also want to bring a light weight waterproof coat. It is a must to bring a sun hat and sunglasses as well as sun screen as the heat can be tremendous and you do not want to get burnt making the rest of your holiday uncomfortable.

It is recommended that when on Safari in Africa you wear long trousers and long sleeved shirts in the evenings to protector against mosquitoes or you may chose to liberally cover yourself in mosquito repellent.
