Clothing
The key to packing clothing for your safari is layers. Early morning game drives may be cold enough to require a coat and hat, while the same afternoon you might be most comfortable in shorts and a t-shirt or even go for a swim. And, although you may think of Africa as always hot, it actually depends on your specific location as well as the time of year (find more info in our country profiles). And don’t worry, we’ll give you all the necessary information about your destination to guarantee that you’re well prepared!
