Clothing
Clothing should be simple, layered and of a neutral color, khaki
or green/olive or Camouflage.
Comfortable boots or walking shoes is a must, ankle high work
great. Be sure they are well broken-in prior to arrival, as
blisters can ruin a safari.
Three changes of comfortable and durable bush clothes are recommended.
Bring at least one warm jacket.
You will also need a hat for protection from the sun and a warm
hat for early morning while riding in the back of the open truck.
In the evening, camp is very informal. As it gets cool, good
choices would be a sweat suit or jeans and a sweater or sweatshirt.
Other clothing: Casual clothing for use prior to and after your
safari:
· Belt
· Shirts
· Three pair of light cotton socks
· Swimsuit
· Comfortable camp shoes
· One lightweight waterproof jacket
· Don't forget a pair of leather gloves for early mornings,
and for pushing the thorny branches out of your way while in
the bush.
