Safari Clothes: What to Take on Safari

Walking Safari in Zimbabwe

So you have decided on a Safari holiday, you know which country(s) you are visiting and what game reserves. Now you need to make sure that you have the right equipment and to begin with that means the right clothing.

The environment in Southern Africa and the bush that you are visiting is more than likely going to be much different to what you are used to back home so to make sure you have the correct clothing to make the safari both comfortable and safe.

In my article on Safari Clothing Advice on the main part of the Safari Holiday Guide, I go through each item of clothing and discuss what I think is appropriate and why.

The correct Safari clothing, made from the correct materials are important because:

• It helps to prevent you from standing out too much in the enviroment and possibly scaring away skittish wildlife like antelope
• They will not make too much noise when rubbed together, enabling you to get closer to the wildlife you came to see
• They protect you from the sun
• Protect you from the cold
• Help protect you from insects and things like snake / scorpion bites

So for more information on what clothes to take on safari please take a look at the new Safari Clothing Advice page.
