Packing for safaris requires practical and functional clothing.
- Clothing: Earth tones (khaki, olive green, brown). Avoid bright colors (neon, red) as they startle wildlife. Dress in layers—early mornings are freezing, afternoons are hot.
- Gear: Binoculars (essential for birding and distant rhinos), a good camera with a zoom lens, and a dust mask/scarf (safari tracks are very dusty).
- Protection: Strong insect repellent and high-SPF sunscreen.
