Best safari clothing: brands, clothes & tips for African safaris

You’re off on safari! You’ve done all the research , purchased the guide books , and the tickets are hot in your hand.

But most importantly, you’re getting ready to pack your ultra-light bag with everything you’ll need for your trip of a lifetime.

You’ve read all the advice you can handle (perhaps even this post on how to pack for safaris for your African bush adventure).

But when it comes down to the line, you still have no idea whether your favorite sweater is going to be a help or a hindrance, if you should pack jeans, how many pairs of socks are enough, and what on earth to expect once you are out in the wild.

What to wear on safari is something of a conundrum , the answer to which is entirely dependent on whether you are a complete slave to fashion and constantly worry about your appearance.

Or whether you don’t care if your trousers absolutely match your shirt and if your shoes co-ordinate properly with your camera bag.

So, in a bid to help sort the wheat from the chaff when it comes to safari style, this guide aims to highlight the best safari clothing brands and tips for your next trip to Africa .

African Safari Clothes: 7 Useful Tips

The African savanna has seen virtually every take on both the best and worst dressed safari goers , including some of the most practical and impractical safari gear around.

This includes everything from haute couture animal prints hot off the Milan catwalk, to Prada stilettos getting stuck in between the slats of wooden decks, and $300 silk scarves ripped to shreds by thorn bushes.

There are also tales of wild baboons getting hold of Victoria’s Secret lingerie and leaving it draped for all to see high in the branches of an acacia tree.

There are plenty of stories about complete wardrobe disasters—but to ensure you’re not one of them, here is a list of useful tips on how to dress for safaris .

1. Leave the luxury safari clothing at home

Lesson 1 in safari style is to NEVER take your best clothes into the bush .

If you find a pair of shorts, trousers, or a top you love and know that it would break your heart to have it ruined on safari, it’s probably best to leave it at home .

Instead, look for clothing that is specifically suited for the wild . And if the item comes in different colors, buy the range!

This way, over the years, you’ll acquire a variety of clothes which come everywhere with you. Look out for clothes that you can team together to create practical yet stylish outfits.

2. Keep your clothes for safari simple

Lesson 2 is learning how many of each item you will need . As a rule of thumb, always go with four of the basics.

Four pairs of shorts , four pairs of cut-off pants , four string vests , four t-shirts , four pairs of long pants , four button-through shirts (two of which are long-sleeved), four sets of underwear , four pairs of socks … you get the drift, I am sure!

When traveling in winter or during the colder months of the year, add to this scenario two lightweight long-sleeve t-shirts and two knitted sweaters , plus two fleeces or warm jackets , thermal long johns , gloves , a scarf , and a beanie .

When considering your safari apparel, ALWAYS pack a swimsuit and a couple of sarongs/kikoys . Even in the winter, it’s usually warm enough to suntan during the day and sometimes even swim.

3. Your safari wear should include comfortable shoes

Lesson 3 concerns footwear . In the heat of the summer, it is best to pack at least two pairs of “bush slops” – flip flops (thongs) which are heavy-duty, waterproof, and good enough to handle walking in the light bush for game drives.

You may also need two or three pairs of fashionable flip-flops or sandals for around camp and evening meals, and a pair of good walking shoes ( Merrells ) for walking safaris.

In the winter, replace the walking shoes with walking boots and add a pair of lightweight faux-fur lined “trendy” flat boots for evening wear.

4. Safari fashion: accessories

Accessorize – that’s the key to lesson 4 – it’s the difference between a good safari wardrobe and a bad one. Two or three lightweight colored scarves and/or wraps are a must in any safari bag .

Usually, they have beadwork or applique of some description on them. These are useful for dressing up even the most conservative safari outfit—great if you’re looking to add a dash of glamor to your evening meals. Team them up with a couple of great “ethnic” bead necklaces and earrings .

Another essential item to include with your safari attire is a hat —and these can most certainly be fun. Pack in a couple of lightweight, floppy straw sun-hats, as these are great for game drives or tiger fishing.

Another good option is the usual peak baseball-style caps.

5. What to wear on safari – quality

Lesson 5 is all about quality . Everything you take into the bush with you needs to stand the test of time.

This includes the elements of the African wild, the rigors of hand-washing, and bumping and grinding in the back of a safari vehicle halfway across Africa.

So it’s important to check your clothes before you pack to make sure they can be hand-washed, aren’t going to fall apart the first time you wear them, and are not likely to fade too drastically when hung in the sun to dry.

The material of your clothing is also important. When out in the wild, it is best to stick to strong natural materials like hemp , linen , leather , and wool .

Nylon and polyester also tend to provide adequate protection against the elements.

6. Best safari clothing brands

Wondering where to buy safari clothes? Most of the high-street fashion chains carry good quality fashionable safari clothes which will stand up to the average safari conditions.

As such, you may be able to avoid the need to go to specialist outfitters and camping/outdoor stores where things tend to cost a lot more.

And, of course, the big brands like Jeep (a favorite with safari goers because their clothes are practical, hard-wearing, and pretty at the same time) and Cat always have some great clothes for safaris—including some of the best safari shirts.

In addition to these, here are several more reliable brands to consider when buying safari clothes:

• Columbia — this is a good option for those seeking affordable safari clothing that is still good quality.
• First Ascent — if you’re buying safari clothes in South Africa, keep an eye out for this brand as it offers some excellent quality clothing.
• Patagonia — while the brand is more expensive, they provide some of the highest quality outdoor clothing and gear on the market.
• REI — if you’re shopping online, REI is often the go-to for outdoor gear. Their house brand is affordable and offers many items that will serve you well on your safari.
• Ruggedwear — proudly South African, it is an official partner of the Field Guides Association of Southern Africa (FGASA).
• Sapmok — footwear for every adventure. Comfy. Durable. And stylish.

7. What color clothing for African safaris

Finally, lesson 7 concerns white . Do you take white clothes into the bush with you? Hell yes.

As long as you don’t expect them to remain white for long and can accept the fact that no matter where you wear them, they’re bound to get a little dirty. It’s more or less a bush essential in my book because it reflects sunlight , keeps you cool and goes with everything .

Everyone says, “don’t wear white on a safari vehicle,” – but this is far from the truth. However, white isn’t the only color that’s good for safaris.

When dressing for safaris, the basic color range is simple: khaki , beige , white, and brown (or variations thereof).

Avoid black and blue during the day because they attract tsetse flies .

But do occasionally take these colors for evening wear when the tsetses have gone to bed.

What to Wear on an African Safari: Checklist

Now that you’re all clued up with what to consider when deciding what clothes to wear on a safari, it’s time to pack.

Here’s a checklist to ensure you don’t miss anything.

African Safari Clothing Review — Blend in with the Wildlife!

Ever since you booked your African safari vacation, you have been wondering what kind of outfit to wear for your encounter with the wildlife.

Thus, I examined in my African safari clothing review different styles of attire for both men and women that you should pack for your safari vacation.

Dress up with style and blend in with your surroundings!

How to Dress Up for an African Safari?

As a general rule of thumb, avoid wearing bright colors at all costs on a safari. The main reason is that the vivid colors attract animals. You don’t want to draw unnecessary attention to yourself. Therefore, you should opt for light colors, like olive, gray, khaki, and brown.

Keep in mind that if you wear short sleeve shirts along with shorts you need to have bug repellent since malaria is present in many regions of Africa.

Remember that exposed skin is an invitation for lunch for the mosquitoes! To avoid contracting malaria, cover your skin. If you insist on wearing short sleeves as well as shorts, spray an ample amount of bug repellent to prevent mosquito bites.

Furthermore, if you travel to Tanzania or Kenya, be on the lookout for another pesky insect, the Tsetse fly, a carrier of the sleeping sickness.

Thus, it is of the utmost importance to protect yourself by wearing long sleeve shirts along with pants. Also, avoid wearing dark colors such as blue and black since they are a magnet for the Tsetse flies .

One of the things that you need to take into account when selecting your safari clothing is the weather. Africa is well renowned for its broad spectrum of weather conditions. What I mean here, is that the temperature varies considerably during the day. Usually, the mornings and evenings are very chilly, while during the day, the temperature gets sweltering.

Furthermore, you have to factor in the time of the year. Are you traveling to Africa during the winter (wet season) or the summer (dry season)?

Another thing to think about when buying your safari clothing is comfort. You don’t want to wear safari clothing made of polyester or any other non-breathable fabrics. This will block the elimination of perspiration from your skin.

I highly recommend that you wear cotton clothes, or clothing made of breathable fabrics, to get rid of the moisture.

Layered Clothing!

A little piece of advice, it would be wise to dress up in layers. Considering that the temperature varies tremendously during the day, this will allow you to either remove or add pieces of apparel and stay warm and cozy.

Now dressing up in layers does not imply that you have to bring your entire wardrobe! If you are taking charter flights to reach your safari destination, there is a luggage restriction.

The weight limit is 30 pounds (15 kg). To avoid any unpleasantness, bring only the essentials and versatile clothes!

Tag Safari Jacket for Men

The men’s Safari Jacket is made of 100% cotton, keeping you warm on a chilly day. It has multiple pockets to stow all your essentials for your Safari adventures.

The safari jacket only weighs 5.5 Oz (155 g) and will not take up too much space in your duffel bag!

Fabrics: Tropicool Cotton Colors: Khaki, Moss, Olive, and Stone Sizes: Small thru 3XL

Field Jacket for Women

The Field Jacket will most certainly keep you warm. Plus, ladies, no need to carry a purse around with this jacket!

It has six pockets, big enough to stow away your important documents and everything you need for your adventure!

Fabrics: Polyester and Fleece Colors: Olive Sizes: X-Small thru XL

Zambezi Convertible Pants for Men

The Zambezi Convertible Pants are best suited for those who want to travel light since they are versatile.

Take off the legs and wear them as shorts during the day and put back the legs for dinner. Thus, no need to bring a pair of shorts and pants for your vacation.

The Zambezi pants are lightweight, weighing only 5.5 Oz (155 g). Also, the presence of an elastic waist gives you more comfort.

There are also four pockets for the storage of your safari gear such as binoculars, compass, camera, and so on.

Fabrics: Tropicool cotton Colors: Khaki, Olive, Moss Sizes: 28’’ to 44’’ waist (2-inch increments)

Chino Pants for Women

The Chino pants for women are appropriate for various activities such as walking, hiking, or going on game drives only to name a few.

Moreover, the Chino Pants with their front pleats provide a sleek and sophisticated look. They can be worn for casual as well as for formal events.

So, there is no need to change up for dinner with these versatile pants!

Fabrics: Tropicool cotton Colors: Khaki, Olive, Forest, Moss Sizes: 4 thru 14

Adventure Shorts for Men

The Adventure shorts are the logical choice for hiking and walking safaris. Their length is above the knee.

They offer enough storage with their two cargo pockets to carry with you all your valuable gadgets such as binoculars, cameras, and a GPS to allow you to track down and observe wildlife.

Fabrics: Tropicool cotton Inseam: 9 inches Colors: Khaki, Olive Sizes: 30’’ thru 44’’ waist (even sizes, 2-inch increment)

Chino Shorts for Women

Ladies, if you want to wear shorts during your safari vacation, you should opt for the Chino shorts. Why? 

Because the local population of many African countries is often mainly composed of Muslims, ergo, it is not a good idea to wear shorts that are mid-thigh or even shorter. 

It is considered a great offense by the Muslim community. It would be more advisable to buy shorts that are at knee-length like the Chino shorts!

Fabrics: Tropicool cotton Inseam: 7 ½ inch Colors: Khaki, Stone, Olive, Forest Sizes: 2 thru 14 (even sizes, 2-inch increment)

Vent Back Adventure Shirt for Men

If you are thinking of buying the vent back adventure short sleeve shirt for your safari vacation, bring as well some bug repellent!

The shirt is made of cotton, and the vented back will keep you cool.

Fabrics: Tropicool cotton Colors: Khaki, Olive, Stone, Moss Sizes: Small thru 3XL

Trail Shirt for Women

The trail shirt with long sleeves for women has epaulets, perfect for keeping your binoculars handy!

Furthermore, if you are planning to visit countries where there is a risk of contracting malaria or the presence of the Tsetse fly, you should wear a long sleeve shirt such as the trail shirt.

This is by far the best option to protect yourself.

Fabrics: Tropicool cotton Colors: Khaki, Olive, Stone, Forest, Moss Sizes: X-Small thru 4XL

Final Thoughts

In this review, I took a closer look at the basic clothes that you will need for your African safari vacation.

Because of the luggage restriction, you need to pack versatile clothes! Keep it simple by bringing only the essentials. Furthermore, many safari lodges and hotels provide a laundry service, so there is no need to bring your whole wardrobe!

You should opt for clothing made of breathable fabrics such as cotton, and dress up in layers.

To ensure that you return home safely, you should buy safari attire of light colors. Dark colors are a magnet for the megafauna. Try to blend in with the décor!

Furthermore, to reduce the risks of mosquito bites and, therefore, contracting diseases like malaria and sleeping sickness, pants, and shirts with long sleeves are preferable.

If you have any inquiries about African safari clothing, leave a comment below, and I will get back to you ASAP!

Awesome Bucket List Ideas for an African Safari

Kilimanjaro routes review — best routes for success, 12 thoughts on “african safari clothing review — blend in with the wildlife”.

You are right; No one wants to attract the wild animals. Therefore, they shouldn’t wear bright colors. In my opinion, people should be the most concerned about insects, so repellent is a must in Safari. Also, a jacket with long sleeves and long pants would be nice. However, It may be too hot sometimes. I especially like those convertible pants you mentioned. I’ll definitely consider buying it.

I personally prefer long sleeve shirts, pants, and a lot of bug repellent since mosquitoes love me too much! Thanks for your input about safari clothing.

I spent a good stretch in India and had also been to South Africa – which included a visit to Kruger Park. I would like to suggest that regardless of whether or not you are going on a Safari that when travelling to Africa, India, or South America, take adequate precautions regarding bugs that bite as well as clothing choice.

It just makes life safer and a hell of a lot more comfortable.

You are correct that selecting the proper clothing and having plenty of bug repellent handy is the best course of action as it helps avoid many health issues. Because getting ill during your vacation is the last thing you want.

Thanks for sharing this great piece of advice. Better be safe than sorry!

I really enjoyed your site! Do you have a safari planned anytime soon? A safari sounds like an amazing experience, but you definitely need to be careful too.

I liked how you discussed what clothes to wear and what not to wear. I didn’t know that bright colors attracted animals….good to know! What about perfume, hairspray, and deodorant? Will these attract the animals? Thanks for all of your advice!

No, unfortunately, I don’t plan to go on a safari vacation in the near future.

Not only you should avoid wearing bright colors but also any perfumed products since animals have an excellent sense of smell.

Hello Sonia!

I didn’t know that vivid colors attract animals! I was sure they don’t care about colors! Very informative. About the clothes you proposed, I’m not sure about shorts?? They are not protecting your legs and I’m afraid I may be hurt by branch or stuff like that.

Your thoughts please!

I wouldn’t say I like wearing shorts much. Therefore, I would not wear shorts while on an African safari. There are other reasons, and I have listed them below:

First, I find that mosquitoes love me too much! So, by wearing shorts, I would get a lot of mosquitoes bites, even if I use bug repellent! Since mosquitoes are carriers of diseases such as Tsetse illness and malaria, getting many mosquitoes bites would significantly increase the risk of contracting these diseases.

Secondly, wearing shorts could lead to higher risks of injuries over the legs such as scrapes and cuts. Also, because of the scorching temperatures in Africa, if you suffer any injuries that are not treated immediately, the infection could set in quickly, which could have serious consequences (septicemia).

Lastly, as I mentioned in my African Clothing Review, in some African countries, where there is a high concentration of Muslims, it will be viewed as a great offense to wear shorts that are below the knee.

So, in a nutshell, these are the main reasons why I would not wear shorts on my African vacation. Notwithstanding, since some people might prefer to wear shorts on their African adventures, I have reviewed them in my post.

This is pretty cool, I’ve never been to a cultural place like Africa and I’ve always wondered what to wear so that I won’t look like an outsider too much.

City wear is definitely not idea and in the safari, Tshirt alone wouldn’t suffice. Fleece Jacket sounds pretty interesting, definitely getting my hands on that! Is the heat at the same temperature through the whole continent of Africa?

I have a few Jacket fleeces, and I find them to be quite handy!

As for the temperature in Africa, it varies throughout the continent. Near the equatorial region, the temperatures are hotter than in the southern portion of the African continent. Furthermore, the temperatures are scorching over the desert areas. If you would like to learn more about the different climates of Africa, click here .

Packed full of information about Safari clothing, thanks! I thought the temperature was hot in Kenya or Tanzania all the time. I never thought about evenings & mornings. Zipper Fleece Jacket Sherpa Collar seems like the ideal one to take.

Do we really need to wear shorts, by the way? Initially, I thought I’d definitely need a pair of shorts for hot weather, but considering insect bites and the Muslim countries you mentioned, long pants may be more practical then… I’d love to go on a safari tomorrow if I could!

No, you don’t need a pair of shorts, it was just a suggestion since many people prefer to wear shorts in scorching weather! Personally, even though the temperature is hot, I like to wear long, breathable pants because I want to avoid exposing my skin to those pesky insects!

Hey, you never know, you might be able to go on a safari in the near future! And when the time comes, you will know what kind of safari clothing you need to buy for your adventure!

Sustainable Safari Clothing Guide: What to Wear on a Safari

Are you planning an African safari? If so, you’ve probably been over the details of a safari lodge, transportation, animal migration patterns, and more. One thing people tend to overlook, however, is safari clothing and  the process of packing for a safari .

Choosing safari clothes can be more challenging than choosing outfits for the average city break or beach vacation. It requires  carefully thinking through each and every item  you pack.

Whether it’s your first safari or your tenth,  being prepared with the right safari clothing is essential . This guide will teach you what materials work best, why colour matters, what to wear at the lodge, and more, along with specific recommendations from our favourite brands of safari clothing.

What to Consider When Choosing Your Safari Clothing

When it comes to the overall look of the outfit, there are no real guidelines, as the animals don’t care what you wear . However, there are a few tips to follow that will definitely make finding the right safari clothing a lot easier. 

Colour Matters

If you’ve ever seen photos of people on safari, you may have noticed that their colour choice is quite bland.  Tan, brown and army green clothing isn’t just a trend  (maybe just a bit). The colour of your clothing while on safari does matter and earthy tones are the typical recommendation.

First of all, blending in and not attracting attention to yourself is always good practice while around wildlife. What you wear on a safari while inside a vehicle doesn’t matter too much, as the animals generally view the car as one entity and do not differentiate the different people inside it. But if you are planning to go on any walking safaris, where you may come face to face with animals outside of a vehicle, wearing earthy colours is critical to your safety. 

Another reason to wear neutrals is to avoid attracting the aggressive Tsetse flies that call central Africa home. They’re especially attracted to blue and black so whatever you do, avoid these colours.

Comfort Above All

Safaris are no fashion show. The thing that matters most is ultimately your comfort. You’ll likely be sitting in a car all day under the hot African sun or walking through the bush with your guide.  You’ll need clothes that fit you well but not too tight , leaving room to breathe. The best safari clothing is made from  soft, natural fabrics.

Pack Different Clothes for the Lodge

After a long day out on the savannah, you won’t want to stay in your safari clothing any longer. That’s why some travelers like to  pack separate things to wear at the lodge  that are also comfortable, but perhaps slightly more dressy. Most of the lodges, even the fanciest ones, do not have any dress code for their restaurants, but when you are wining and dining in such beautiful settings, it can be tempting to dress up just a bit to fit the scene. 

Specific recommendations for lodge clothes can be found in the section below.

Layering up is a great idea while out on safari.  Nights can be freezing cold and days can be steamy,  so having multiple layers is a great solution. Especially since most game drives start during early mornings when the air is still very cold but run well into the heat of the day. This even goes for Southern Africa safaris where summers get blistering hot.

Don’t Pack Too Much

Although it might be tempting to pack a lot for your safari,  it’s essential to keep your packing list to the minimum . The main reason for this is that to get to some of the safari camps you’ll likely be  taking a small plane from a major African city  to a smaller town out in the bush. 

These planes have strict weight limits most of the time and anything that exceeds this will have to be left behind. Make sure to research your airlines ahead of time and  plan to adhere to these weight limits . Our best advice is to pack right so you can pack light! Safari clothing is all about versatility.

What to Wear on Safari: The Best Safari Clothes for Women and Men

Safari pants.

It might be tempting to pack shorts since you’ll be in hot weather, but they’re generally a bad idea.  You’ll want your legs covered when the Tsetse flies come out  as well as when the sun gets dangerously strong. We highly recommend opting for great safari pants instead of safari shorts.

Best Safari Pants for Women

Halle pant from prana.

Comfortable, durable, and sun protecting , the Halle Pant from prAna are a safari wear staple. Long hours in the hot sun call for lightweight travel pants instead of wearing shorts. An added bonus with these pants is that you can  roll them up and snap them into capris  when you need to cool off. The fabric dries quickly and is wrinkle-free so they’re ideal safari attire. If you only had to bring one pair of pants as safari clothing, it would be these.

Crestwood Pant from prAna

Another great pair of versatile pants from prAna are the Crestwood Pant. They’re made from a  blend of organic cotton and Coolmax for all-weather comfort . They’ll keep you cool during long periods in the sun and cozy when evening comes around. Plus, they look great and make for a practical yet stylish African safari outfit. 

Quandary Pants from Patagonia

Patagonia’s  Quandary Pants  are another great all-around pick for safari trousers. Synthetic fabrics really shine when it comes to breathability and drying fast. Their blend of recycled nylon and spandex is super comfortable and offers  sun protection with a water repellent coating . Similar to the Halle Pant, you can roll them into capris and ride in a safari vehicle comfortably all day.

Best Safari Pants for Men

Stretch zion pant from prana.

The Stretch Zion Pants from prAna are pretty much the perfect travel pants. They’re  wrinkle-free, water repellent, quick-dry, and offer UV protection . The soft nylon fabric is as durable as it is comfortable and can hold up to anything an African safari might throw at it.

Organic Cotton Gi Pants from Patagonia

Safari clothes for men are all about comfort and durability and Patagonia’s  Organic Cotton Gi Pants  are exactly that. They pair the ease of slipping on sweatpants with the look and resilience of denim. They’re made from 100% organic cotton and have  plenty of pockets  for all your gear. Plus, the dark green colour is perfect as an earthy neutral that won’t attract flies.

Safari Shirts

With shirts, it’s a great idea to layer a t-shirt with either a safari button-down shirt or a sweater. Make sure that both your t-shirt and your safari shirt are made of  breathable, natural fabrics . We like to go for a linen safari shirt with a collar to stay breezy and protect our necks from the hot African sun.

Our Favourite Safari Shirts for Women

Sahara long-sleeve shirt from rei.

Women’s safari clothing is best kept loose for maximum comfort and breathability. The  Sahara Long Sleeve  from REI is my perfect safari shirt because it’s lightweight and super comfortable. The fabric is UPF 35 rated with  moisture wicking properties  that’s easily packable and looks great too. A lot of hiking and outdoors clothing makes great safari wear for ladies!

Ezra Shirt from Kuhl

The stretchy woven fabric on the  Ezra Shirt  from Kuhl is nice and soft with excellent sun protection. Roll the sleeves up on hot days or wear it open over a tshirt as an extra layer. This shirt dries quickly and is  loaded with pockets , which is always a great feature for African safari clothes.

Pilsner Peak Novelty Shirt from Colombia

For hot days, I like to wear a short sleeve safari shirt like the  Pilsner Peak Novelty Shirt  from Colombia. It has  hidden vents  for increased breathability and air circulation to keep you cool. The lightweight fabric wicks moisture and offers an impressive  UPF 50 sun protection .

Our Favourite Safari Shirts for Men

Sahara solid shirt from rei.

Likewise, a short-sleeve breathable button-up, like REI’s  Sahara Solid Shirt , is ideal safari wear for men. The shirt is carefully designed with  extra ventilation  in peak areas (hello armpits!) to stay cool and fresh. The fabric is easily packable and can be touched up with a cool iron to double as a lodge outfit.

Sahara Solid Long-Sleeve Shirt from REI

Just like its short-sleeved counterpart, the  Sahara Solid Long-Sleeve Shirt  from REI is a safari clothing essential. The long sleeves offer sun protection and the synthetic materials are  breezy and quick drying . The khaki safari shirt is ideal for staying cool and comfortable with lots of pockets for gear. What’s more, it has a  built-in loop to store your sunglasses  so you won’t have to worry about losing them.

Safari Boots

Unless you are doing a walking safari,  boots are not a requirement  for any game drives. You’ll be pleased to know that it does not matter whether you wear flip flops, running shoes, or boots inside the safari vehicle. So what you choose to wear is completely up to you. 

However, keep in mind that practically all morning game drives include a coffee/tea break or an evening sundowner. This means that at one point or another,  you will get out of the car  and find yourself walking on red dusty soil. You’ll venture through bushes (those bush toilets don’t have any paths) and your feet will be exposed to the elements.

Max loves wearing flip flops while in the car, they let his feet breathe and he is not at all bothered by the cold or the dust that often gets kicked up into the vehicle during the drive. I, on the other hand, prefer to wear boots. They keep me warm during cool mornings and chilly evenings while keeping my feet protected from elephant poop and other dust/dirt on the ground. 

The best safari boots are those that cover your ankles as well as your feet.  There’s no need to pack hiking shoes or boots, as most days you won’t be walking great distances. Instead, look for more of a  combat-style boot that can be worn every day.

Good Safari Shoes for Women

Bata safari boots.

The go-to for any traveler heading to Africa,  Bata Safari Boots  are a classic. The  thick sole protects against Acacia tree thorns  piercing through and the suede material is extra durable. They’re made locally in Kenya and have been put to the test in East Africa for over 50 years.

Red Wing Silversmith Boots 

When I’m packing for a safari, I like to bring boots that I can wear on the safari vehicle and at the lodge. The  Silversmith Boots  from Red Wing are a perfect  combination of durability, style, and comfort . You can easily wipe away any dust and dress them up for dinner—perfect safari attire for ladies.

Allbirds Tree Runners

Running shoes are a great all-around option for safari clothes for lightweight comfort. The Allbirds Tree Runners are  made from renewable materials  and are super comfy, even for a walking safari. The best part is that they’re  machine washable  so even African safari dust can be washed off.

Good Safari Shoes for Men

Chacos .

Like I said earlier, Max prefers to wear sandals on a safari and Chacos are our go-to. Their  hiking sandals  and flip flops are  super comfortable and can hold up to any terrain.  They’re easy to toss in your suitcase without taking up much space or weight and come in all kinds of colours.

Red Wing Moc Boots

The  Classic Moc Boots from Red Wing  are a great addition to any men’s safari clothing wardrobe. They’re built to withstand pretty much anything, while still being  comfortable and easy to throw on . These boots are incredibly versatile so you can wear them all day, from the safari vehicle to the lodge.

Rain Jackets

When it starts to pour on the savannah, you’ll be very happy you packed a good rain jacket. The best ones are  light and breathable while still fully waterproof . You’ll especially want to pack a rain jacket if you’re going on safari during the rainy season. Linen safari jackets make for fashionable safari clothes, but they just won’t cut it in the rain.

Best Ladies Safari Rain Jackets

Arc’teryx zeta sl rain jacket.

Our favourite rain jacket for women is the  Zeta SL Rain Jacket  from Arc’teryx. The  double-layer GORE-TEX  fabric is fully waterproof while still being breathable. The jacket is constructed with a hood and pockets in all the right places for all-day comfort. It’s lightweight and can pack down nice and tiny without any extra bulk. It’s a great safari coat for days and evenings when you want to layer up. 

Marmot Packable Anorak

The  Marmot Packable Anorak  is exactly what a safari jacket needs to be—lightweight, breathable, and packable. It’s made from recycled nylon and has fully taped seams. What makes it especially good for safari clothing is that it can  pack into its front pocket . This way, you can throw it in your day pack and always have a rain jacket handy if the weather turns.

Best Mens Safari Rain Jackets

Just like the women’s version, the  Zeta FL Rain Jacket  from Arc’teryx is our top pick. It’s  ultra lightweight and has 2 layers of GORE-TEX  so you’ll be covered in any weather. The fabric is completely waterproof yet still breathable and has a durable windproof hood for stormy weather.

Marmot PreCip Eco Jacket

With taped seams and a breathable waterproof shell, the  PreCip Eco Jacket  from Marmot marries performance with eco-consciousness. The lightweight material is  made from recycled nylon  with “pit zips” for added ventilation. It  packs into its own pocket  and has a built-in hood that you can tuck away into the collar. Good safari clothes are all about versatility and this jacket ticks all the boxes.

For both sun protection and classic safari style,  a good hat is absolutely essential . Go for  something with a brim  to keep the sun out of your eyes and off of your face. 

Best Women’s Safari Hat 

No safari wardrobe is complete without a wide brim hat. We recommend the  Columbia Global Adventure Packable Hat  because it travels well and is made from  fabric with UV protection . You can throw it in your suitcase and it’ll bounce back into shape, which is perfect for travel. Plus, it has an  adjustable chin strap  to stay secured while you’re out in the bush. Any person wearing a hat that’s flown off before knows this is essential in a safari vehicle!

Best Men’s Safari Hat 

Tilley is one of the best safari clothing brands for durable and functional attire. Their  Wanderer Hat  is a classic when it comes to safari-style clothing, with an adjustable brim and wind cords. It has a  built-in sweatband  to keep you cool, sun and water resistant fabric, and it floats! Maybe we’re biased because it’s made in Canada, but this hat is perfect for a safari in Africa.

Clothes for the Lodge

At the end of the day, you’ll want to get out of your safari clothing and into something nicer to wear around the lodge.

We suggest packing the following:

• Dresses/Dinner Outfits : Sundresses or maxi dresses are perfect for nice dinners at the lodge. Note that  modesty is important  in Kenya and other countries, so leave any above-the-knee safari dress at home. For men, pack shorts, long pants, and a few button-down shirts.
• Warm Sweater or Jacket : When the  nights get especially chilly , you’ll want a cozy sweater to stay warm. A lightweight fleece is a great option because it’s easily packable and dries quickly. 
• Sandals : To go with your dinner outfits.
• Bathing Suit : If your safari lodge has a pool (and most of them do), make sure to bring at least one swimsuit with you.

Other Things to Bring

These don’t necessarily count as clothing, but they’re still essential items for your safari packing list.

• Water Bottle : A reusable water bottle is an essential item for a day out on safari. We use and love  Hydroflask bottles .
• Binoculars : To see the animals up close, binoculars are a must-have. 
• Sunglasses : Protect your eyes from the harsh, direct sunlight. 
• Camera with a Telephoto Lens : If you’re a photographer, you won’t want to miss the chance to photograph some of the most beautiful animals on earth in their natural habitats. Make sure to bring a good telephoto lens with you so you can zoom in close enough.
• Unlocked Phone With a SIM Card or Solis Hotspot : The wifi at safari camps tends to be pretty bad in general, so it’s good to have a SIM card and/or mobile wifi device. 
• Day Pack : For all your extra items that you’ll need throughout the day, we highly recommend a reliable day pack, such as  this one  from Peak Designs.

What NOT to Wear on Safari

Here are a few quick tips to simplify your safari clothing packing based on our first-hand expert advice:

• Avoid dark colours  like dark blue and black clothing to ward off Tsetse flies. Tsetse flies are especially prevalent in Eastern Africa. 
• Leave your white clothes at home . The African bush can get pretty dusty so prepare to have a layer of red dust on pretty much everything. 
• Avoid bright colours  or prints so you don’t scare the animals.
• Khaki green is great, but  avoid camo prints . Many countries in Africa consider camouflage to be a military-only print for tactical gear.
• Don’t bother bringing jeans . Convertible pants made from quick dry fabric will have you covered for game drives and dinners at the lodge. Jeans are heavy and take forever to dry—a no-go for safari clothing.
• Skip any perfume or heavily scented beauty products . Fragrances attract bugs and we promise the animals won’t care how you smell.

While it may seem like there are a lot of requirements for what to wear on a safari, it isn’t as complex as it appears. 

Choosing the best safari clothes really comes down to practicality.  If you make sure everything is comfortable, neutral in colour, and within your plane’s weight allowance, you should be in excellent shape.
