For many of us, the hardest part of preparing for a safari is knowing what to pack. On the one hand, you

don’t want to pack too much because it will be expensive and inconvenient for your travel. On the

other, you don’t want to leave out your favorite pair of jeans, the coffee you are so used to and a bunch

of other things you probably don’t need.

So how do you begin packing for a safari? First, you need to understand that the more you pack, the

more inconveniencing your travel will be. You need to narrow down your options to what you really

need. With that said, let’s take a look at some important factors to consider when choosing what to

wear on your Kenya wildlife safari.

Leave your denims at home

Although denims are fine for sightseeing, you don’t want to wear them on your safari. They get dirty

quickly and might take a long time to dry.

Remember laundry is usually offered at an extra cost in most holiday camps so carrying the right

clothes can help you to save.

Avoid delicate fabrics

Carrying fabrics like silks to your safari is such a bad idea because they can be ruined easily.

If you are taking your clothes to be ironed by the camp staff then make sure they know the materials

are sensitive or else you risk ruining your favorite clothes. Better yet, keep these sensitive clothes and

fabrics at home.

Wear comfortable shoes

Flat roomy shoes are the most ideal especially on those hot days. They can prevent your feet from

getting swollen. You’ll probably walk a lot if you consider yourself an explorer and the fact that you’ll be

spending most of your time outdoors means you need to have some comfortable footwear.

What to wear at night

Carry some long trousers and long shirts to be worn during the evenings. They’ll help protect your skin

against mosquitoes especially if you’ll be going for an evening drive.

Also make sure you have something warm to beat the evening cold. Carry a warm jacket for the

evenings as well. It can get pretty cold and sometimes rainy at late evenings so to keep yourself warm,

don’t forget to pack at least one warm jacket

Carry clothes that don’t need ironing

Avoid materials like linen because they may present a huge challenge. Linen has to be ironed properly

to stay straight and some of the lodges may not provide this as part of laundry but at an additional fee.

Carry something special for dinner

If you are going for a safari with your better half then you should carry some fancy clothes for dinner

dates. You can enjoy a bush dinner at night and witness the beauty of the wild and still look stunning.

Choose the right colors

The most appropriate colors for a wildlife tour in Africa are beige, browns and greens. White clothes are

usually not recommended because they tend to catch dirt very quickly.
