Eastcos recommended Safari Packing List

When it comes to packing for a safari, it’s important to remember that less is more. While it’s tempting to bring all your favorite outfits, it’s important to pack clothing that is appropriate for the environment and activities you’ll be participating in.

First and foremost, it’s important to dress appropriately when crossing borders, visiting villages and markets. Avoid wearing clothing that resembles military uniforms, such as jackets, and be mindful of cultural norms and customs. Also, make sure to cover up appropriately and avoid bare chests, bare feet, and bikini tops.

Comfortable and practical clothing is key for a successful safari. Opt for casual and semi-casual “wash and wear” clothes made from lightweight and breathable materials such as cotton or linen. These types of materials will keep you cool during hot weather and protected from insects.

Bright colors and whites are not suitable for game viewing or walking safaris, as they can attract attention and scare off wildlife. Instead, opt for neutral and earthy tones like olive green, tan, and brown.

In addition to appropriate clothing, a few other items are essential for a safari trip. A wide-brimmed hat is essential to protect your face and neck from the sun, and a beanie or cap is useful for cooler evenings. Sunglasses will protect your eyes from glare and harmful UV rays, and a high SPF sunscreen is a must to keep your skin protected from sunburn and skin damage. Finally, a mosquito repellent is essential to keep you protected from pesky bites.

In conclusion, a well-planned and practical safari packing list will make your trip much more enjoyable. By bringing the right clothing and essential items, you’ll be able to fully immerse yourself in the experience and make the most of your time in the wild.
