The issue of what clothing to take on an African safari should be looked at in a realistic fashion. There are some vital rules you need to follow, especially when traveling on safaris in Africa.

Let’s look at it this way, a safari is regarded as an adventure holiday. Sure, Africa has some of the best beach resort style destinations in the world but this article is directed at those who want to experience the “wilds of Africa.”

Let’s take a look at some points for you to consider regarding African safari clothing:

1. First rule is to travel light. You are usually allowed about 25 pounds of luggage but those who have traveled lighter generally report less inconvenience on tour.

2. Forget bright colored clothing. This is not a mardi gras and it’s definitely not a fashion contest. For example, colors such as red and orange should really be avoided. You’ve heard the expression…”like a red rag to a bull.” Same principle applies here. If you are on a walking safari or traveling through the flora, colors such as red and orange will make you an easy target and we don’t want to go into specifics!

3. Neutral colors are best. Khaki, brown and green-based colors will work well and form the basics for ideal African safari clothing.

4. Your clothing needs to be comfortable. Avoid wearing tight fitting clothes which can be very uncomfortable on hot days. Light, loose fitting clothing is best.

5. Hats and shoes need to be considered. Firstly, hats which also cover your neckline are great in Africa to shield you from the hot sun. Shoes need to be of the walking variety and light. Keep your shoe numbers to a minimum. A pair for walking on safari and a pair to enjoy the casual occasions.

6. While the weather can heat up during the day, an essential addition to your African safari clothing should be a sweater or light jumper. Believe it or not, it does get cold in Africa, particularly at night and a sweater is required wearing.
