A dip between game drives during the middle of the day is a great way to contemplate your wildlife viewings (past and future!) whilst working the tan. Swimwearīe sure to check out whether your lodge has a swimming pool and if so, don’t forget to pack some safari-chic swimwear. Light colours are recommended for evenings so you don’t attract mosquitoes. You’ll want to wash and change after a hard and dusty day’s game viewing, but a pair of jeans or trousers and a long-sleeved shirt will suffice, perhaps along with a warm fleece or safari jacket to ward off the night-time chill. Most safari lodges have relaxed dress codes for dinner so there’s no need to take any formal safari clothes with you. When considering evening safari wear, bear in mind that the days of jackets and ties at the dinner table are long gone. A pair of polarized wrap-around sunglasses will give you protection from both the glare and the dust that’s a feature of many game drives, meaning more chance of spotting that hiding leopard! Evening wear The African sun can offer a surprising amount of harsh glare, so you won’t want to forget sunglasses as part of your safari attire. This is particularly important if you’re going to be doing any early morning safaris in an open-sided vehicle (though your lodge will likely provide blankets for early morning game drives). Africa is a continent of extremes – it can be extremely cold through the night into the early morning and swelteringly hot by the middle of the day.Īs such it’s a good idea to take multiple layers of safari clothing so you can add and remove layers as required – including at least one warm layer like a sweatshirt, fleece, or safari jacket. Packing lightweight safari wear has the benefit of enabling you to layer up or down according to need. Simple cotton works best for safari shirts and trousers, though there are increasing numbers of quality modern man-made materials that work just as well as cotton and are even more durable. The ideal material for safari clothing is something that’s lightweight & breathable and makes minimal noise whilst you’re moving. White and very pale coloured clothes show up the dust, so are best kept for evening wear.ĭark blue and black colours attract insects and mosquitos, which can carry malaria, yellow fever and dengue fever – some of the most serious health risks you might encounter on safari. Whilst any other neutral colours are fine too, there are a number of colours you should definitely make sure you don’t wear on safari wear:Ĭamouflage clothing is a big no-no, and in some African countries it’s actually illegal, so leave the camouflage safari clothing at home! Ideal colours for safari wear are natural, such as: When trying to spot wildlife you’ll have the best chance if you blend in as much as possible with your surroundings, and bright colours will make you conspicuous to animals – particularly if you’re on a walking safari. The basic rule of suitable colours for safari clothes is to go neutral.
