What To Wear On Safari: My Detailed Safari Packing List With Photos

Written by BELLA FALK

You’ve all seen the brochure photos: a smiling family is sitting at a camping table in the middle of the African bush. Behind them, the sun is setting, and perhaps a giraffe is crossing the savanna landscape.

Contents (click to view)

What are they wearing? I’m sure you can picture it: lightweight designer safari gear, all matching, in indistinguishable shades of beige, taupe and camel. Maybe the dad is wearing khaki chinos and the mum has a floppy-brimmed hat (colour: putty) on her head. They all have sand-coloured lace-up boots on, and from head to toe all their clothes are pristine, clean, and crease-free.

If it’s your first time figuring out what to wear on safari, it might feel like this is the model you have to follow. Like, having booked the blindingly expensive trip of a lifetime, you now have to go out and splurge hundreds more on the ‘proper’ kit, otherwise people will laugh at you and you may even get into trouble for not doing it right.

Well I’m here to reassure you: that’s rubbish.

What should you wear on safari?

I’ve been on five safaris (to Kenya , Botswana , Tanzania , Uganda and South Africa) and I still don’t own any ‘official’ safari clothes. I’ve always worn stuff I already own and been just fine.

That said, there are some dos and don’ts about packing for a safari, some things it’s a good idea to make sure you bring with you, and some stuff you should definitely leave at home.

So welcome to my complete safari packing guide. I’m going to go through a few points and FAQs, and then make a handy list at the end. Scroll down if you just want to skip ahead to that.

What happens on a safari?

Days on safari follow a similar schedule. You wake early and head out shortly after sunrise for a morning activity – usually a game drive but sometimes a boat cruise, guided walk, or scenic flight.

You return to the camp mid-morning for brunch and have some hours to relax in the heat of the day before heading out again for another activity later in the afternoon. Your afternoon game drive or boat cruise normally ends with sunset drinks in a beautiful location, before you head back to the camp for dinner.

After dinner you might sit round the campfire or boma enjoying a few drinks with your fellow guests, but most people go to bed fairly early, ready for another dawn start the next day.

What to wear on safari during the day

The most important thing to note is that a safari is not a fashion show. It can be hot and dusty, or rainy and muddy, so it’s important to dress for comfort and practicality, so leave the designer gear, luxury fabrics and bling jewellery at home. Instead, bring stuff that washes easily, dries quickly and hides the dirt well!

You’ll also be coating yourself daily in suncream and insect repellent, so don’t bring anything that won’t mix well with those!

When I was in Botswana in December, some days reached 40 degrees C (104 F) with high humidity, so think lightweight breathable fabrics like cotton, viscose or sweat-wicking sportswear, or even linen if you don’t mind the creases).

T-shirts and shorts are your friends, but I’d avoid strappy vests for two reasons:

• Many African countries are quite conservative, and it doesn’t do to flash a lot of skin.
• The sun is extremely strong and the more skin you show, the more of you there is to get burned, even in a shaded safari car.

What to wear on a game drive or boat cruise

On wildlife viewing trips you’ll be sitting in a car for several hours, so it’s important to be comfortable. T-shirts and shorts are a great option.

Early mornings in Africa can be chilly, so bring a long-sleeved shirt, light sweater or jacket just in case.

Don’t forget your hat and sunglasses. Safari cars have roofs, but sometimes the roof rolls back so you can stand up, and when the sun is low in the sky it can shine in from the side very strongly. I was surprised by how much I ended up needing my hat.

Since you won’t be walking around much, light sneakers or sandals are fine.  

Safari cars are open-sided, so if it rains you may get a bit wet. Most safari companies carry ponchos in the car, to hand out to guests when it rains, but you might want to bring your own light waterproof raincoat just in case.

What to wear on a walking safari

For a walking safari the principles are the same, but you should wear long trousers to prevent your legs being cut or scratched by branches, and closed-toed shoes to protect you from biting or stinging animals or insects.

Although walking safaris can sometimes last for three or four hours, you don’t actually walk that far because there’s a lot of stopping and looking at stuff. So you don’t need hiking boots; comfortable trainers or walking shoes are fine. If you’re travelling in rainy season you might want to bring waterproof or Gore-Tex ones.

Do I need warm clothes on safari?

We think of Africa as being hot, and it is, but it can also be extremely cold. If you travel during the northern hemisphere summer, that’s winter in most of Africa, and temperatures can drop below freezing especially in desert areas, if you’re at altitude, and the further south you go.

In Botswana and South Africa during the winter, average nighttime temperatures can be 0 or even -2 degrees C (28-32 F), and remember that most safari cabins and tents are not heated!

Even in Kenya, which is much closer to the equator and therefore not as cold, nights and early mornings can definitely be chilly.

Staff in camps will provide you with hot water bottles and blankets both in your tent and on game drives, but you still need to bring warm clothes with you as well.

If you’re travelling to the southern African countries between April and October, I’d recommend bringing at least one pair of long trousers, one long-sleeved top, one jumper, and a packable down jacket.

But remember to dress in layers, as the day quickly warms once the sun’s up, and even if it’s close to freezing during the night, afternoon temperatures can ramp up to high 20s (70+ F) or more.

It’s very important to check the weather forecast before you travel, as different regions’ climates can vary.

What colour should you wear on safari?

It’s recommended that you wear plain designs in neutral, earthy or natural colours, such as shades of beige, grey, brown or natural greens.

Avoid vibrant, bright colours like orange, red and yellow, or vivid patterns. This is for two reasons:

• It helps to make you less noticeable to animals.
• You can get pretty dusty on safari, and natural shades don’t show the dirt so much!

Bright white and full black are also not recommended. This is not only because they show the dust really badly, but because many animals actually only see in black and white, and large gleaming white shapes or dark black ones are very noticeable to them.

With that all said, I wouldn’t worry about it too much, and you certainly don’t need to rush out and buy an entire new wardrobe full of khaki and beige. As I just mentioned, many animals only see in black and white, and when you’re inside the car, most only see the car as one large object, and not the people inside.

It’s more important to stick to the rules when you’re on a walking safari and don’t have the protection of the car.

But in general, if you pack plain, neutral-ish colours, you’ll be fine.

Why not wear blue on safari?

Some people recommend not wearing blue on safari. Apart from being a pretty noticeable bright colour, it’s said to attract tsetse flies, which are prevalent in some areas of southern Africa and can deliver a nasty bite and spread disease. They are also thought to prefer black (another reason not to wear it).

That said, my light down jacket is bright blue, and I also took a blue t-shirt and a pale blue cardigan to Kenya, and I wore all three with no problems.

What to wear on safari evenings

Most people like to dress up when they go on holiday, so you might think about throwing a few glamorous dresses, high heels or some party shirts into your suitcase.

But you probably won’t wear them. Even in the luxury camps, most people really don’t dress up for dinner, for four main reasons:

• At night it’s a good idea to cover your arms and legs to avoid insect bites, so floaty skirts and strappy tops are a bad idea.
• It can get quite chilly at night, so you’ll probably be more comfortable in trousers and a fleece anyway.
• You’ll be tired after a long day and an early start; you’ll probably find you can’t be bothered to dress for dinner as you’ll be going to bed soon afterwards anyway.
• Walking round camp after dark you may run into snakes or spiders, and paths can be muddy and uneven, so high-heels are a definite no-no.

When I was in Botswana in December (the height of their summer) it was still 30+ degrees (86 F) in the evening, so I wore lightweight trousers or a long casual dress and then liberally coated myself with insect repellent. In Kenya in September it was a bit cooler, around low 20s (70 F), so I wore trousers, a t-shirt and a light cardigan, and had my jacket handy for later in the evening as the temperature dropped.

Is it OK to wear jeans on safari?

It’s perfectly fine to bring a pair of jeans for the cooler evenings, especially if you’re travelling in winter when you know it will be chilly at night.

However jeans aren’t recommended for game drives as you’ll probably be too hot in them during the day, and if you need to wash them they’ll take ages to dry.

As a general rule I wouldn’t take jeans on safari but instead bring lightweight trousers. The convertible zip-off ones that turn into shorts are especially good as you can have long pants for cold mornings and safari walks, and convert them into shorts once the day’s warmed up.

Pro tip: Whatever you choose to bring, make sure you have some ‘room to grow’! The food on safari is usually really good and you won’t be doing much exercise, so stretchy waistbands are a good idea!

Can you wear leggings on safari?

Yes, absolutely. Leggings are a great thing to bring on safari because they’re lightweight, wash and dry easily, are comfortable, and protect you from bugs and the sun. Just stick to neutral colours and leave the snazzy activewear designs at home!

I always pack a pair of leggings for safari – and if there’s a gym in the hotel then I can also use them for a workout!

What are the best shoes to wear on safari?

As I mentioned above, high heels and smart shoes are definitely not the thing to bring on safari. For game drives it’s fine to wear sandals or light sneakers, and for safari walks you want closed-toed comfortable walking shoes.  You definitely don’t need to buy special safari boots, no matter what the sales people might say.

If your lodge or hotel has a pool, you might want to bring some flipflops (also handy to have for walking around in your tent at night, or for nipping to the bathroom block if you’re staying in a campsite).

Can you wear trainers on safari?

Yes, absolutely. I always pack a pair of Asics Gore-Tex trail trainers that I wear for exercise, when it’s muddy or raining, and for walking or hiking. On game drives and boat cruises, and for walking around the camp in the evening, I have a pair of Skechers Go-Walk sneakers that are super comfortable and easy to slip on and off.

What to pack for the beach in Kenya or Tanzania

Many people like to combine their safari with a few days on the beach, perhaps in Zanzibar in Tanzania, or at Diani or Vipingo in Kenya .

Here’s where you will get the chance to dress up a bit – as if you’re staying in a nice hotel or beach resort destination, there will definitely be opportunities to put on a strappy dress, holiday shirt, or some sparkly sandals.

If you’re planning to hit the beach for a few days at the end of your trip, you’ll definitely want to throw in one or two nice evening outfits. And don’t forget swimwear and a beach cover-up too!

Can you wash clothes on safari?

This is a very important question, and the answer is yes! Almost all safari lodges and camps offer a laundry service and most of the time it’s included in the price of your stay. So you can wash your clothes as often as you like at no extra cost – which means you really don’t need to bring huge amounts of luggage as you can wash and re-wear your clothes several times.

Note that in many places the laundry is done by hand by the hotel staff, dried out in the sun, and ironed using an old-fashioned coal iron. This is yet another reason not to bring anything too delicate or precious, as there’s a small chance it may get damaged during the laundry process.

What sort of underwear should I bring for safari?

Ladies: remember that you may spend many hours bouncing around over unsealed and bumpy roads in the back of a safari car. Being quite an athletic build, this is not something that’s ever bothered me, but I’ve been reliably informed by more curvy girls that a sports bra can be a life-saver in this situation. So if you’re particularly susceptible to bouncing, bring sports bras!

It’s also important to note that the people who handwash your clothes are usually male, and for cultural and hygiene reasons they won’t wash women’s underwear. Ladies will need to bring a small amount of hand wash (though sometimes laundry soap is provided) and wash your own pants and bras in the basin. For this reason it’s a good idea not to bring anything too fancy or delicate: lightweight, quick-drying microfibre underwear is best.

Other things to pack for safari

Of course, packing is not all about clothes. Here are a few other things you won’t want to forget (more in the complete packing list below):

Camera, spare batteries, chargers, plug adapters

Can you imagine going all that way on safari on the trip of a lifetime and then forgetting your phone charger or camera? I know, I’d die!

So definitely make sure you pack all your gadgets, and all the cables and plugs you’ll need to make them work! And then bring spares!

Often hotel rooms and safari tents only have a limited number of plug sockets, so if you have loads of gadgets, it’s a good idea to bring a multi-socket splitter. I recommend one with surge protection : power cuts can happen frequently and if there’s a surge when the power comes back, your devices can get fried. This happened to me the night before my Tanzania safari , so now I’m extra careful!

Medication and toiletries

Most of the places you’ll be staying will be out in the bush, with limited access to shops. Make sure you bring all the toiletries, medicines and personal items you’ll need, as once you leave the airport, opportunities to replace anything that’s missing will be very limited.

Do you need malaria tablets for safari?

Large parts of Africa have malaria, including popular safari countries like Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe, so it’s very likely that you may need to take malaria tables on safari. I usually take doxycycline which is cheaper than malarone, but may not be suitable for everyone so speak to your pharmacist or travel clinic.

You can check the malaria risk for the country you’re visiting, as well as any other vaccine requirements at the Travel Health Pro website here .

Some countries also require you to have a proof of yellow fever vaccination – you can check if this is needed on the website above as well. For example, places like Kenya and Tanzania won’t let you in without proof of vaccination if you’ve spent time in a yellow-fever-risk country before arriving. If you have already had your yellow fever jab, make sure you pack the certificate!

What to wear for safari in Tanzania

If you’re planning your safari in Tanzania or Kenya as part of a trip that also involves climbing Kilimanjaro (or any other mountain), then check out my essential Kilimanjaro packing list here .

Best suitcase for safari

This is important, so pay attention! Many safaris involve internal transfers by tiny plane or even helicopter. They all have pretty strict packing rules, with a maximum of 15 kg weight per person and no hard-shelled suitcases allowed. Luggage must be soft sided, and don’t overpack! You shouldn’t need to anyway, since you can wash everything when you’re there.

Wheels are OK as long as it’s a soft bag, so I recommend a soft holdall with or without wheels, or a wheely backpack like the one I have and love . This one came to Kenya and Botswana with me with no trouble at all.

Packing for safari for photographers

If, like me, you’re travelling with 15 kg of camera gear , don’t stress. The little internal plane operators are used to photographers and will let you put your backpack of gear at the back of the plane. I travelled with 15 kg of hold luggage and another 15 kg of camera gear around Botswana and Kenya, and it was never an issue.

There’ll be more on safari camera gear in a separate post, coming soon!

What should you NOT take on safari?

Now I’ve told you all the things you should bring on safari, here are a few things it’s a good idea to leave at home.

Perfume: No one in your safari car will thank you for dosing yourself liberally with Eau de Whatever, and if you wear a very strong scent it may even allow animals to detect you sooner and run away faster.

Hairdryer: Many safari camps run on solar power and cannot support a hairdryer. Those that can (if they’re on the grid, or running off a generator), will usually provide one that’s suited to the electricity supply. As I said, no one really worries too much about their appearance or cares about what your hair looks like on safari anyway.

Camouflage clothing: This might surprise you, but wearing military-style camo print clothing is a no-no in many African countries, where it’s associated with the military. It’s actually illegal to wear camo gear in Ghana, Uganda, Zimbabwe and Zambia.

Plastic bags: Disposable plastic bags are banned in Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda. You should be fine with the little zip-lock one for your liquids on the plane, and I’ve used reusable plastic packing bags many times with no problems, but try to keep plastic bags to a minimum or you may get a fine.

A drone: Unless you have special permission, drones are not allowed in most lodges and African National Parks.

Expensive watches, jewellery, and other valuable items: This doesn’t just apply to African safaris but to all travel. Jewellery can easily get lost, damaged or stolen, so if you care about it, leave it at home.

A hard-shelled suitcase: As mentioned above, all safari companies ask you to bring a soft bag or at most a wheeled soft holdall , as these are much easier to pack into the small luggage spaces on planes and in cars. You will not be thanked if you bring rigid-sided luggage.

Where to buy safari clothing

For the most part, you don’t need any specialist clothing for safari. You can wear your own normal clothes. However, there are some great companies that do excellent clothes for travel, in suitable colours, and made from practical fabrics that are sweat-wicking, comfortable and don’t crease.

My favourite brands for travel clothes are The North Face , Patagonia , Rab , Mountain Equipment , Arc’teryx and Craghoppers , and my favourite places to shop in the UK are Ellis Brigham and Cotswold Outdoor , which stock all these brands at competitive prices, have high-street stores where you can get advice and try stuff on, and often have good end-of-season sales too.

What to wear on safari: my Africa packing list

So now we’ve gone through the details, here’s what I would pack for a 10-day or two-week safari in Africa.

What to wear on safari: Clothes

• T-shirts in neutral or earthy colours x 5. The green t-shirt in the photo above is by Mountain Equipment . I love it so much I bought three!
• Long trousers x 1 pair. I really like my lightweight ones from The North Face .
• Shorts x 1 pair.
• Convertible trousers that zip-off into shorts, or a second pair of shorts . North Face and Craghoppers both do good convertible trousers for men and women .
• Leggings . I’m a big fan of Sweaty Betty.
• Long-sleeved shirt for covering up in bright sunshine.
• Lightweight jumper or cardigan for chilly evenings.
• Lightweight jacket , fleece or mid layer for cold nights. I have a fleece from Arc’teryx and a mine is a Nano puff from  Patagonia .
• Waterproof jacket . I have two, a lovely Zeta LT by  Arc’teryx  and a packable Meridien jacket by  Rab .
• Dress or smart shirt for the evening if you’re going to a city or the beach (x2). For packable jersey or lightweight viscose dresses I love Boden , Sugarhill Brighton and Joanie Clothing .
• Gym kit – if you think you’ll need or use it. But many safari camps don’t have fitness equipment and you can’t go for a run in the bush or you might get chased by a predator!
• Sports bras or comfortable wireless bralettes x 3.
• Underwear x 7. If you’re staying for longer you’ll need to handwash. I recommend something quick-drying and non-delicate like these microfibre ones from M&S .
• Swimwear . I get cute bikinis and swimwear from M&S , Next , or Pour Moi .
• Sarong or cover up (if you’re spending time on the beach)
• Sandals or flip flops . I love my walking sandals by Teva .
• Trainers or walking shoes for exercise and walking safaris. Mine are Gore-Tex trail trainers from Asics .
• Soft sneakers for walking round the camp, game drives and boat cruises. I’m a big fan of Skechers Go Walks .

Pro tip: if you’re going to the beach and plan to do a lot of snorkelling, pack a rash vest or t-shirt to swim in. The sun is super strong and we all got very burnt even though we were wearing Factor 50!

What to pack for safari in winter

If the forecast is for cold weather, I would add:

• Another long-sleeved top or baselayer .
• A warmer, packable insulated jacket .
• A pair of jeans.
• Beanie hat.

What to pack for safari: Accessories

• Baseball cap or hat. My cap is this one this one by Buff and I really like it.
• Scarf or buff to keep dust off (and you can dip it in water to cool you down on very hot days)
• Headphones or ear buds (for the plane), you won’t need them on the actual safari! I have these ones which are pretty good and much cheaper than Apple ones.
• Eye mask and ear plugs (if you’re a light sleeper).
• Camera, batteries, memory cards and charger
• Charger cables for all your devices
• Portable phone charger. Mine is this one from Anker .
• Plug adapter for the country you’re going to, or a universal plug adapter
• Plug splitter or 3-way adapter with surge protection
• Refillable water bottle (though some safari companies provide them, so check). An insulated water bottle will keep your water colder for longer on hot days.
• A padlock for your luggage to protect you from airport thieves

Safari packing list: Toiletries

As well as all your usual toiletries and medications, don’t forget:

• Suncream. I swear by  Riemann P20  because it’s hard wearing and you only need to apply it once a day. Or for the best face SPF you will ever find, that’s non-greasy and non-orange (!), I love  this one from the Body Shop .
• Insect repellant (though this is often provided in camp).
• Malaria tablets ( check to see if these are required in your destination )

Pro tip: Luggage goes missing more and more frequently these days, so pack your medication or anything else vital in your hand luggage.

My favourite travel tools and brands

To help you organise your trip, here’s a short list of some of the brands and tools I use over and over again when I’m planning my travels. You can see more on my Travel Resources page.

• Booking.com : A huge range of hotels to choose from, often with free cancellation. If you book hotels regularly you can earn discounts. I’m on Genius Level 3 which gets me 20% off!

• Skyscanner : The only place I ever go to search for flights and compare prices.
• Flight Centre : Booking a more complicated route? Let Flight Centre organise it for you (and deal with the drama when something goes wrong).
• Priority Pass: I love having access to 1600+ airport lounges when I fly, allowing me to enjoy my time at the airport. With my link you get 30% off a standard membership or 20% off standard plus .
• Airalo: Say goodbye to ridiculous mobile roaming charges. Did you know you can now buy an e-SIM , install it in your phone before you leave home, and then use data abroad at local prices? Game changer. Get US$3 credit with code BELLA5735 .
• TourRadar: If you prefer group travel and organised tours, TourRadar has a huge range of fantastic tours from respected operators. They’re very helpful and have 4.5 stars on TrustPilot.
• Viator: Part of the TripAdvisor brand, Viator is another great place to search for group adventures and day trips.
• GetYourGuide: A great place to find local tours and day trips in your destination.
• Wex Photo Video: The UK’s best camera gear store. Quote my name – Bella Falk – to get £20 off your first purchase.

Colors to Wear on Safari in Tanzania (a Local’s Guide)

When going to Tanzania on Safari, the colors of the clothes you wear are an important consideration. I have lived in East Africa all my life and know a thing or two on the topic.

When going on a Tanzanian safari, wear clothes with neutral colors like Brown, Jungle Green and Beige that blend well with the Tanzanian Savannah. Avoid black and dark blue clothing since they easily attract tsetse flies. Also avoid white and bright colors since they get dirty easily.

Let’s take a deeper dive into the topic and discuss the different colors you should wear in different contexts when visiting Tanzania.

Colours to wear when on a safari drive in Tanzania

• Neutral colours : When going to see the animals when you are out on Safaris, you will need to wear neutral that are not conspicuous and easy to spot. This is because you generally want to blend in with the background so that you don’t startle the animals you will be viewing. If you are very conspicuous, you are more likely to scare away the animals as you approach them.
• Avoid White : there is a lot of dust both in the game drives and your journeys and this makes white clothes really hard to keep clean
• Colours suggestions for your game drives : brown, dark green, beige, grey, and cream
• Avoid Camo ( it’s illegal): unless you are military on official business, wearing clothes that resemble military wear is illegal in Tanzania and you might get in trouble with the authorities.
• Avoid Black and Blue: These colors attract tsetse flies and wearing them will make you more vulnerable to the pesky flies. Tsetse flies are so attracted to the color blue that they color tsetse fly traps blue in order to draw them in.

Colours to wear on safari evening’s in Tanzania

In the evenings most Tanzanian destinations have a lot of bugs and when you are dining outside, you will want to protect yourself from the bugs by. They usually get attracted to the light and bright colours.

Avoid wearing orange and yellow since these colours will make you more attractive to bugs.

Though this is not colour related, you will also want to cover up your arms and legs If you will be dining outdoors. This will help reduce mosquito bites.

Colours to wear when exploring Tanzanian towns

When our and about in Tanzania, avoid wearing something that will draw attention to you. The reason you don’t want to be conspicuous is that you will make it easy for pickpockets to pick you out from a crowd.

I’m not saying that there are a lot of criminals in Tanzania, however, you need to be vigilant and avoid making it easy for someone with ill intentions to carry out their plans.

In order to blend in, neutral colours are your best bet. Avoid bright orange, red and luminous colours.

On the same note, (This is not related to colour though) leave your flashy jewellery and devices in the hotel room when going to Tanzanian markets and bazaars. Pickpocketing is worst here and the best way of protecting yourself is carrying only what you need.

Colours to wear if you’ll be using public transportation

When using public transport in Tanzania, you need to make sure that you wear clothes that are will not easily be sold. Matatus (Public Service vehicles) in Tanzania are generally not very clean and if you wear white clothes, for instance, you will not be able to clean off the stains you may get very easily.

What To Wear On Safari

What clothes to pack for your safari.

The type of safari clothing you decide to pack for your safari will depend on a number of things, including the destination, time of year and what type of safari you’re going on. However, there are a number of universal principles when it comes to deciding what to wear on safari.

Click below to go straight to the most relevant section, or scroll down to read the full safari clothing article:

Safari wear basics

What’s the best colour to wear on safari.

The basic rule of suitable colours for safari clothes is to go neutral . When trying to spot wildlife you’ll have the best chance if you blend in as much as possible with your surroundings, and bright colours will make you conspicuous to animals – particularly if you’re on a walking safari .

Ideal colours for safari wear are natural, such as:

• Light Browns

Whilst any other neutral colours are fine too, there are a number of colours you should definitely make sure you don’t wear on safari wear:

Camouflage clothing is a big no-no, and in some African countries it’s actually illegal , so leave the camouflage safari clothing at home!

White and very pale coloured clothes show up the dust, so are best kept for evening wear.

Dark blue and black colours attract insects and mosquitos, which can carry malaria, yellow fever and dengue fever – some of the most serious health risks you might encounter on safari.

Ideal safari clothing material

The ideal material for safari clothing is something that’s lightweight & breathable and makes minimal noise whilst you’re moving. Simple cotton works best for safari shirts and trousers, though there are increasing numbers of quality modern man-made materials that work just as well as cotton and are even more durable.

Think layers for safari wear

Packing lightweight safari wear has the benefit of enabling you to layer up or down according to need. Africa is a continent of extremes – it can be extremely cold through the night into the early morning and swelteringly hot by the middle of the day.

As such it’s a good idea to take multiple layers of safari clothing so you can add and remove layers as required – including at least one warm layer like a sweatshirt, fleece, or safari jacket . This is particularly important if you’re going to be doing any early morning safaris in an open-sided vehicle (though your lodge will likely provide blankets for early morning game drives).

What to wear on safari – the essentials

When it comes to safari clothing less is more, and most camps and lodges have same-day laundry services, so bear this in mind before packing a huge suitcase full of safari clothes! At a minimum you will need:

Safari shirts

A few comfortable long-sleeved shirts and long-sleeved t-shirts. Long-sleeved safari shirts have the advantage of offering protection from the sun and insects, but also being able to roll the sleeves up if it gets too hot.

Shirts with a collar to protect the neck from the harsh sun are advisable, as are shirts with pockets to store your bits and pieces (see our article on top things to take on safari if you’re after useful things to fill your pockets with!).

Our favourite men’s safari shirts:

Our favourite women’s safari shirts:

Trousers & shorts

A pair of comfortable long trousers or two, and a pair of shorts. Combat style trousers and shorts are ideal safari gear as they have several pockets, great for storing compact binoculars, suncream, camera etc.

Long trousers have the benefit of keeping you warm and protecting you from the sun in the day and mosquito bites on evening and night game drives. Here are some good safari trouser options:

The type of footwear required to wear on safari really depends on what type of safari you’re planning. For a standard game drive or self-drive safaris , special safari footwear isn’t necessary. You’ll be climbing in and out of safari jeeps and maybe a little walking around the bush, so comfortable trainers will work fine.

For more specialist safaris such as gorilla trekking  you’ll be trudging through thick, uneven rainforest, so rugged Gortex boots are ideal. For any kind of walking safari, it’s advisable to have some sort of hiking boots that cover your ankles – for protection from both bush and snakes. It’s also worth considering a small investment in some hiking specialist insoles to provide extra comfort.

Whilst not essential safari wear, any hat or cap is better than none at all. It will give you protection from the sun, and also shield your eyes from the glare – meaning potentially better wildlife spotting opportunities. The ideal hat is a wide-brimmed safari hat to offer maximum protection.

The African sun can offer a surprising amount of harsh glare, so you won’t want to forget sunglasses as part of your safari attire. A pair of polarized wrap-around sunglasses will give you protection from both the glare and the dust that’s a feature of many game drives, meaning more chance of spotting that hiding leopard!

Evening wear

When considering evening safari wear, bear in mind that the days of jackets and ties at the dinner table are long gone. Most safari lodges have relaxed dress codes for dinner so there’s no need to take any formal safari clothes with you.

You’ll want to wash and change after a hard and dusty day’s game viewing, but a pair of jeans or trousers and a long-sleeved shirt will suffice, perhaps along with a warm fleece or safari jacket to ward off the night-time chill. Light colours are recommended for evenings so you don’t attract mosquitoes.

Be sure to check out whether your lodge has a swimming pool and if so, don’t forget to pack some safari-chic swimwear. A dip between game drives during the middle of the day is a great way to contemplate your wildlife viewings (past and future!) whilst working the tan.

What not to wear on safari

The above information should give you a good overview of what safari clothes to take with you, but just in case you’re still in any doubt, here’s a list of the clothes you should absolutely not take with you on safari:

A camouflage safari outfit .  In a number of African countries, you can actually be arrested for wearing army-style camouflage clothes that could be confused with military wear. Best to avoid at all costs.

Overly thick fleeces and jackets . Temperatures on safari change depending on the time of day, where you are, and what altitude you’re at… so layered clothing is ideal to add or remove as the temperature requires.

Heavy walking boots . Unless you’re planning to do some serious hiking a pair of trainers will do for walking around camp and hopping in and out of your jeep.

Black and blue clothing . East Africa is home to the tsetse fly which is attracted to dark colors and packs a nasty bite – best avoided by wearing lighter colours.

Bright clothing. Don’t draw attention to yourself if you want the best chance of spotting wildlife .

Tuxedos & ballgowns. Yes, people do! Most safari lodges have a very relaxed dress code for dinner, and whilst you will want to wash and change after a hard day game viewing you won’t need to dress over-formally for any evening activities.

And one last ‘don’t do’ tip for packing your safari wear:

Packing it all in one large suitcase . Limit the risk of all of your luggage going missing or being stolen on the flight by packing some essentials – and one safari outfit – in your hand luggage.

Hawaiian shirts are a classic no-no as safari clothing

Have a sneak preview at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glO-rRsPBIo&feature=youtu.be All authentic gear – made close to the Kruger National PArk in South Africa – available here in the UK

We are travelling to South Africa to do a safari adjacent to the Krugar. Is that right that Camouflage is completely no allowed? Only I have just purc hased Shorts and a Hat. Please advise

Hi Colleen, as far as I’m aware there are no restrictions on camflage wear in South Africa, so you should be fine. That said, to be sure you should drop your safari lodge a line as they may have their own rules.

This is suitable for safaris! http://www.cafepress.com/guaxinim/9341456

Do you consider light to medium gray to be ok for colors

Hi Aggie, medium grey is a good colour for safari clothes, so long as it’s not too dark and not too light!

I would be interested in specific suggestions of brands to check out for women’s safari wear. Thanks, Barbara

An item I found extremely useful for gamedrives in open vehicles during winter is my large olive rain poncho. It works fine as a wind spiele and easily fits over the extra set of blankets you might wrap around you.

Excellent idea Birgit, I’ve never used a poncho, but I’d imagine they’re ideal for game drives – lightweight, and quick and easy to get on and off according to the weather.

Sounds like a great idea Birgit. We’ve been on a few high-end safaris where they’ve provided ponchos on bad weather game drives… but taking your own means you’ll be sure to stay dry!

Best Colors to Wear on Safari

Did you know that there are best colors to wear on safari? Before we heading off on our safari vacation in South Africa and Uganda I had no idea how or indeed why the color of clothes your wear on a safari is important but it really is. In this guide we will tell you the worst and best colors to wear on safari and why you should stick to a restricted color palette whether you are going on a safari in Tanzania, South africa or indeed anywhere in Africa.

Why Does the Color of Safari Clothes Matter?

The truth is that color is a really important factor when putting together your safari capsule wardrobe. But why does the color of safari clothes matter?

Blending in With your surroundings

The point of being on safari is seeing the amazing wildlife. If you are wearing neon clothes you will definitely stand out from your bush surroundings.

If you want to see more animals we recommend wearing colors that will help you blend in to the surroundings.

This is important no matter whether you are doing a safari by car, by boat but especially important if you are doing a walking safari.

Keeping clean

It shouldn’t come as a shock that going on a safari isn’t a sterile experience. Chances are you will get dusty and dirty even doing a safari in a car but certainly if you are doing a walking safari.

So you don’t look filthy in your photographs you want to be wearing colors that will not show the dirt so much.

So now you know why it is important to wear and not to wear certain colors on safari we will look in more detail color by color to help you when packing

Packing a Capsule Wardrobe

Keeping to this limited color palette will also help you create and stick to a safari capsule wardrobe which will help you pack light which is an essential for those who are using light aircraft to get to their safari lodges.

While this safari guide is applicable for anywhere in Africa, if you want a country specific packing list check out our dedicated guides:

• What to wear on safari in Botswana
• What to wear on safari in Tanzania

In our opinion the best colors to wear on a safari are:

The reason we recommend these colors over all others is that these are the colors that will help you blend in most with the African landscape be that forests, savannahs or plains.

By blending in you will have a much better chance of seeing wildlife and not drawing attention to yourself in a negative way.

Also we found Khaki shirts the best for not showing up dust while tan, beige and brown were the best in our opinion for hiding the mud when doing gorilla trekking and other muddy activities.

What Colors Not to Wear on Safari

We recommend adding the colors below to your what not to wear on safari list. While it is probably more important for those on walking safaris to adhere to this most strictly we recommend following it whether you are in a car, on foot or on a boat. This is especially important when relating to health and safety.

Blue and Black

Blue and Black tend to be go to in my wardrobes, particularly in my outdoors wardrobes however in my opinion these are the colors that you should most avoid on safari.

This isn’t because they will make you stand up or show up dirt but for a very serious health and safety reason.

Africa unfortunately is home to the Tsete Fly. They are particularly abundant in East and Central Africa and we did see them when we were on safari in Uganda. Tsete Flies are known to cause Sleeping Sickness which is a horrible disease and you should try at all costs to prevent getting bitten by a Tsete Fly to avoid this.

Tsete Flies are attracted to two colors above any other. And you guessed it those colors are Blue and Black. although this is especially important when visiting Central and Eastern Africa I would follow this advice wherever you are going on safari just in case.

Can you Wear White on Safari?

We often get asked whether you can wear white on safari. I think most people have a romantic notion of what a safari wardrobe looks like from watching films and movies where women wear pristine white linen tops while out in the bush and savannah.

However this really isn’t a good or practical idea. Out of all the colors you could wear on a safari white is the color that will make you stand out the most. Also white will absolutely show up dust and dirt more than any other color.

If you have to have a white linen shirt in your safari wardrobe I would personally recommend you wearing this just for dinner in your lodge rather than out on safari drives and walks.

Can you wear bright colors on safari?

It is not recommend that you wear bright colors on safari. Neutral colors, such as tans and khakis are a much better choice. Bright colors will make you stand out which could prevent animals coming out or even attract some that you don’t want to be too interested in you especially on the walking safaris.

We therefore leaving bright colors out of your safari capsule wardrobes.

Is grey ok to wear on safari?

Grey is not the worst color to wear on safari however I would definitely prefer to keep khakis and neutral tones in your wardrobe instead.

Can I wear pink on a safari?

Pink is not as bad as white, blue or black on safari and it doesn’t attract anything in particularly depending on the shade but I personally would still not add pink to my safari wardrobe.

Light pink, similar to white will show up all the dirt and dust and won’t look great in pictures and darker or brighter pinks will make you stand out too much.

Can you wear red on a safari?

Red is not known to attract Tsete Flies however red will make you very conspicuous to the animals and therefore isn’t a recommended color to wear on safari.

Can I wear orange on safari?

Orange no matter the shade is considered a bright color and as such is not recommended to wear on safari. Not only because it will make you stand out to animals but also because insects love orange and you really don’t want to attract more insects towards you on a safari.

Can you wear Camo on Safari?

Although Khaki is a great color for safari you should NEVER wear khaki on a safari. This isn’t anything to do with the Animals but in Africa came or camouflage is almost exclusively used by soldiers and the army. And in fact it is in some places illegal to wear camouflage if you aren’t in the army.

Therefore we recommend leaving anything came behind.

Is it OK to wear black on safari?

No black is a color that you shouldn’t wear on safari. As we mentioned above black attracts Tsete Flies and therefore should be avoided at all costs.

Saturday 1st of July 2023

On what to wear, second to last paragraph, you mention camo, but in the paragraph below, you insert "Khaki" and "came". Not sure if "came" is a different invocation of "camo" or just a typo.

"Although Khaki is a great color for safari you should NEVER wear khaki on a safari." ???

Friday 28th of July 2023

Thanks for pointing this out Bob and I will get this edited. Camo i.e. military camouflage isn't great on safaris as depending on the country you are in it is illegal to wear camouflage outside of the military.

I hope you have a great trip

When deciding on the best safari clothing to pack for your safari, let us be your guide into the world of what to wear in Africa.

The safari clothing rule of thumb: Dress in layers for all activities & wear shades of the African bush - khaki, browns, and greens.

Top 10 tips for selecting the best safari clothing.

Follow our safari clothing advice and you'll be comfortable, cool, protected, and assured that the safari clothing you pack is 100% safari suitable. Learn what safari clothing to pack - and what clothing not to pack - for your safari.

To get more insight into this list, please simply scroll down this page to where we elaborate further - and/or download our free packing list.

1.Dress in layers for all activities , with a warm layer essential in the mornings and evenings. Long-sleeved shirts with roll-up tabs and zip-off trousers allow you to adapt to local conditions.

2. Colour is key : Select safari clothing which is made from muted neutral and naturally-toned fabric such as shades of khaki, greens, and browns.

3. No white or black clothing : Please ensure that you do not go on safari wearing clothing made from fabric which is white or black - or shades of fabric which appear white in direct sunlight.

4. No camouflaged clothing : it is illegal in some African countries for civilians to wear camouflage safari clothing, so this is best avoided.

5. Man-made fabric vs cotton : As a general guideline, man-made fabrics (such as polyamide) outperform natural fabrics (such as cotton) - and so keep you cooler and better protected from the sun.

6. Pack a wide-brimmed hat : You will be out in the sun for long hours of the day and a good wide-brimmed hat is an essential.

7. Pack a warm layer : Even in mid-summer, it gets cold on the back of an open 4x4. Do not leave home without a safari jacket or fleece .

8. Pack a dry layer : When it rains in Africa, it tends to pour. If travelling during the rainy season, take a truly waterproof layer . Southern Africa tends to have rains November to April; East Africa gets rain in April/May and in November.

9. Pack light : Luggage restrictions on internal flights means that packing lightweight safari clothing is key. The bonus is the lighter the clothing, the more you can pack in.

10. Comfortable shoes : At the very least, take your best walking shoes and a pair of sandals or flip-flops (thongs).

What safari clothing should I pack for my safari?

For the long answer, please scroll down below the "top tips" as we go into detail about each key aspect for picking what safari clothing to take with you. Use our image "cheat sheet" too if you don't feel like reading much to get quick, essential safari clothing packing tips

Safari Clothing: Colour is Key

Safari clothing which is made from neutral and naturally-toned colours is the order of the day in deciding what safari clothing to pack for your safari. The best safari clothing colours are therefore shades of khaki, greens, and browns as these are the colours most prevalent in the wilds, wilderness, and back-country of Africa. On the other end of the scale, the worst safari clothing colours are without doubt white and black and lighter shades of natural colours such as very light stone which appear as white when in sunlight. It isn't by chance that animals such as impala and Thompson's gazelle have white rumps to make following one another through the bush easier to do - white really stands out. . Which brings us to the core question here: "why is the choice of colour for safari clothing so important?" You spend a good amount of money going on safari not to watch animals watching you and reacting to you, but rather to view animals behaving - well - as naturally as animals should do. The aim of any safari is therefore to blend in as much as possible so that you do not disturb the wildlife you are viewing. This ensures that you are able to watch animals behaving naturally and not reacting to you, running away, or charging towards you. Staying as unseen as possible is so important that, in high-level guide walking safari training, the trainee guide fails or passes based on whether or not they are able to use the wind, cover, and terrain to view high profile herbivores (elephant, rhino, buffalo) without one of the herd seeing the trainee guide and the evaluators. To achieve this, colour of clothing and the ability to blend in is very important. As illustrated by the split image on this page, white is the most conspicuous colour on safari for safari clothing and you will be seen by African wildlife from a mile away. It quite simply stands out the most against the muted brown and green tones of Africa. This is most true while walking on safari - an activity we highly recommend - where remaining as undetected as possible is key to watching natural behaviour. Also, please do not pack safari clothing that is blue or black in colour. Black is second only to white in how clearly it stands out in the bush, but there is another reason why black and blue safari clothing should not be worn: tsetse flies. If you are travelling to an area with tsetse flies, please note that the flies - which are the equivalent of tiny fighter jets and deliver a very painful bite with their proboscis - are attracted to blue and black. We know this for certain from personal experience and after noting that the traps used to attract and catch tsetse flies are made from fabric which is blue and black. For the majority of African countries, please do not pack camouflage safari clothing as camouflage safari clothing is illegal attire for civilians and this law may be strictly enforced. In conclusion, all the safari clothing stocked by The Safari Store is handpicked to be made from safari-suitable colours - and are the ideal colours for safari travel.

As an aside, some travellers have asked why safari clothing colour is such an issue when African tribesmen - for example, the Maasai - wear bright colours in the bush. The answer is simple: their main aim us to be as visible as possible as they are herdsmen who are trying to protect their livestock from predators such as lion, hyena, and cheetah. The bright colours ensure that any roaming predator sees them before attacking their herds and are dissuaded from doing so. The herdsmen want to be seen in African bush. For the best game-viewing experience, you - on the other hand - do not.

The right side of the image above shows why the worst safari clothing colour to wear on safari is white - simply as you stick out like a beacon in the African bush. The left side shows that the best colours to wear on safari are shades of Africa's neutral and natural tones which blend in with the browns, greens, and khakis of the African bush. This makes you harder for wildlife to see. The longer you remain unseen, the higher the change that you will get to see what you really went on safari to see: wild animals behaving naturally, and not reacting to your presence.

Safari Clothing: Deciding on cotton or man-made fabrics

We have spent years studying and understanding how yarns - the building block of any fabric - work and affect the engineering of any garment, including safari clothing. These studies have lead us to develop and field test fabrics of all types, with only the cream of the crop making it into our range of safari clothing. Here we tell you what we have learnt about the differences between fabrics made from man-made yarn and those made from natural yarns such as cotton and the impact that should have on your choice of safari clothing. To start, we have to say that safari clothing made from cotton is, of course, fine to wear on safari, but it will never perform as well as modern man-made fabrics which offer a much higher level of outdoor performance. To illustrate this point, we often use the example of the typewriter versus the computer. While one is still able to write a perfectly good letter on a typewriter and mail or fax it once written, the computer has become a much more powerful word processing tool which also allows you to do so much more to share what you have written with others. This too is the case with man-made fabrics - they are simply able to do so much more than natural fabrics. One of the key indicators of performance for safari clothing is the ability of the fabric to keep you cool through the hotter midday and afternoon hours of the day. Here, man-made fabrics win hands down. Your body keeps cool by perspiring - which, of course, is no secret. In itself, the act of perspiring does not keep you cool, but it is the movement of sweat away from the skin which keeps you cool. The faster the rate of evaporation from the skin, the faster you are kept cool. In fabric, this movement of water is referred to as wicking. Cotton does not handle this movement of perspiration as well as man-made fabrics such our BUGTech™ fabrics. Cotton is greedy and holds on to 20% of its volume of sweat before releasing it to the environment; whereas BUGTech™ fabric only holds 4% of its volume before releasing sweat to the environment. The nett effect is that water moves much faster away from your skin with our BUGTech™ fabric than with cotton - and, as such, it cools you much faster than cotton too. The faster speed of wicking also explains why our BUGTech™ fabric is much better suited to safari and travel in general. It does not crease as badly and releases creases much faster than cotton when hung up or ironed. It also only requires a cool iron to release the water in the fabric, which in turn releases the creases. This explains how steam irons work too. They inject moisture into the fabric and then wick the moisture out of the fabric at a very high speed, releasing the creases. It follows that BUGTech™ also dries much faster than cotton after washing or becoming drenched in a river or heavy rain. It is simply a case of how efficiently our BUGTech™ fabric moves water. This also explains why you will often see dark sweat patches under the arms and down the back of a person wearing a cotton garment which last for a long time. There have also been tremendous advances made in the finishes which we are able to add to man-made fabrics. This means, for our BUGTech™ fabric, we are able to build on the high level of wicking performance by adding finishes which offer robust sun protection (UPF50+); insect defence; and a built-in silver finish called Silver+ which fights bacteria - and, as a result, odour - keeping you and your garment smelling fresh for longer.

As a team, we have also rigorously Expedition Tested™ our man-made fabrics under extreme conditions to prove that they are ideally suited to the conditions on your safari.

Top tips for selecting safari clothing with the best in safari, travel, and outdoor clothing technology & garment engineering.

1. Select clothing which is easy to pack, dries quickly, and wicks moisture away from the skin.

2. Keep bugs at bay : Get added defence by selecting clothing that offers a built-in anti-insect treatment . Insist on seeing proof that the built-in insect defence has been proven to work by asking to see the laboratory test results .

3. Protect your skin : The African sun can be harsh, even during winter. Opt for clothing that offers protection from the sun . This will be shown as a UPF rating. 50+ is the highest rating available today.

4. Light can also mean strong. The best safari clothing is lightweight, but also has built-in ripstop for added strength.

5. Stay fresh : As we all prefer to smell fresh, select clothing that uses an anti-microbial or anti-bacterial fabric. This also means that you will be able to wear the same clothing for longer and so pack less and travel lighter.

7. Get back-up : Add to the protective performance of the clothing which you take on safari by packing a wide-brimmed, packable safari hat , an effective sunscreen, and insect repellent which has been proven to work to spray on to your clothing and skin.

Safari Clothing: Pack a warm layer and pack light

Make no bones about it, it gets cold on safari. African winters, open Land Rovers, early mornings and late evenings, land-locked countries, and high altitudes all contribute to the mix. Areas such as the Okavango Delta, Masai Mara, and northern Tanzania - to name but a few - are at the same height and above of some ski resorts in Europe. Even during the summer months, it will be cool to cold on the back of an open game-viewer. The rule of thumb is that the hotter it gets at midday, the earlier in the morning you will leave to go on safari as that is when animals are most active. You should pack a jacket or fleece for all safaris and a beanie and scarf for the African winter. A waterproof layer is an essential too if travelling over the rainy season.

Packing the correct safari clothing has become increasingly important in Africa due to the strict implementation of luggage weight restrictions on internal flights - usually 12 to 15 kilograms per person. This applies in particular to travel to Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya, and all other countries where access to safari camps and lodges is by scheduled charter or light aircraft. You will be able to find out the luggage weight limitations for your safari by discussing this with the company who have arranged your safari. Read our safari luggage advice for more information on the best bags for your safari.

The clothing stocked by The Safari Store is all lightweight and packs and unpacks with minimum fuss or creasing. It also stands to reason that the lighter each garment you pack, the more garments you are able to pack and still remain under the weight threshold set by charter flight companies.

Please note that, as the maximum take-off weight in any aircraft has to be strictly adhered to by pilots to maximise your safety on each flight, you may find that your pilot will not be able to take any luggage over the maximum allowed weight per passenger. In this instance, you may have to pay for your luggage to be flown separately. We mention this to reiterate the importance of not overloading your luggage where maximum luggage weight limits apply.

Safari Clothing: Functionality & style

We realise the importance of offering practical garments which allow you to express your style while on safari. We all want to look good and so, early on in our history, we took a big step away from tent-shaped safari shirts and drab, heavy safari trousers. We think that you will agree with us that our range is a breath of fresh air and ensures that you not only wear the correct attire on safari, but look and feel good too. As our clothing is all tested on expeditions, by purchasing safari clothing from The Safari Store, you will also protect your own day-to-day clothing from the dust, thorns, and strong sun encountered while travelling.

What luggage should you take on safari?

Pack your safari clothing and gear into a bag which is soft and squashable. This is especially true for safari travel to Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Mozambique, Malawi, Tanzania, and Kenya. The reason for this is rather a practical one. The majority of safari lodges and camps within these countries are accessible only by light aircraft and, in order for your pilot to fit your luggage into the small, cramped hold, your luggage must not have hard sides and should rather be soft-sided so that the pilot is able to fit (squash) your bag into the plane. The same is true for some overland and expedition-style safaris where there will be limited space for luggage in the safari 4x4.

Therefore, we recommend that you take one larger safari holdall (around 70x30x30cm in size when full) and one smaller carry-on type bag to use when you travel and to take your binoculars and accessories on game drives and walks. For safaris with a daily walking element, we recommend that you take the holdall plus a small bag such as our Mara&Meru™ Selous Satchel which you are able to use as a shoulder bag or backpack and which attaches to your belt to carry your binoculars, compact camera or smartphone, and your safari accessories. When attached to your belt, this will leave your hands free to use your binoculars or camera and to push a thorny branch out of the way, drink water, or lift yourself up a rocky outcrop. Being 'hands-free' really does make a difference to your enjoyment of the walk.

All our Safari Clothing is Expedition Tested™

We sweat so that you don't have to. Expedition-testing products is central to everything we do. We prefer expedition-testing our products over hiding behind large marketing campaigns which claim too much and deliver too little. This is the core reason for embarking on our expeditions. The testing and re-testing and re-sampling is ongoing at The Safari Store. It is part of our DNA. Where products do not meet the high standards we set for your safari clothing and gear, we either design, re-make, and re-test the products until we get them right or we scrap them all together. #expeditiontested

Dress Up For A Jungle Safari Like A Pro!

We all know the essentials that need to be carried to a jungle safari. Well, almost all of us. For the unaware, here:  Planning To Go Wild? Here’s Everything You Need To Pack For A Jungle Safari Adventure!  We’ve got a low-down of everything you should wear to a jungle safari!

While on a jungle safari, you need to go back to the basics and choose comfort over fashion . Why? Because sitting in a jeep for 6 hours straight, in the same position can be a little tiring. Just a little.

Let’s start from the top. It is advisable to tie your tresses up in a ponytail or a bun or even a cute braid, and even if you don’t, 15 minutes into the drive, you will do it automatically. Yes, it is that breezy. If you plan to leave your hair open, make sure you have a hat/cap to keep it in place.

Tees Or Blouses?

Next up, upper body clothing. Go for a tee that isn’t too tight and gives your skin ample breathing space. Full sleeves t-shirts are preferable as you can get exposed to insect bites. But, it tends to get hotter as the day goes by, so go for sleeveless ones and carry a light jacket! Easy-peasy.

Shorts or Skirts?

For bottom wear, think track pants, cotton leggings or anything that allows you to sit like you would at home. Again, wearing shorts is up to you. People did tell me it is not a good idea, considering the ‘dangerous bites’ but I am back and alive, sans any wounds. So it is just a myth. Go ahead and show those legs if you want!

On one of the safaris, I wore dungarees and never felt more comfortable. Avoid jeans if you can or anything that requires you to wear a belt.

Before we move on to footwear, please remember to wear earthy hues , clothes that will help you camouflage with your surroundings. Green, beige, brown, orange, light pink shades etc, colours that are in sync with nature. You don’t want to appear too flashy and loud colours will expose you easily. The naturalists, guides, jeep everything will be green, so that gives you enough hint.

Apart from all of the above, shoes are where you have to strike all the brownie points. Of course, the absolute best would be to go for sneakers as they will keep you up and above. If for some reason you cannot arrange for one, flip flops or sandals also work.

99% of the time you will be sitting in the jeep but Taj Safaris will take you for a nice nature walk, so you cannot be strolling around in heels. Suede ones at that. Just please don’t. Also, God forbid if your jeep breaks down and you do have to walk in the jungle, that’s exactly when you will remember me.

Rest, keep your shades on, make Odomos your BFF and get ready to set fashion trends anyway.

How Should I Dress For Jungle Safari?

You’re going on safari! How exciting. But what should you wear? You want to be comfortable, but you also want to look good in all those safari photos. And you want to make sure you’re not offending anyone with your choice of clothing. Here are some tips to help you choose the right clothing for your safari adventure.

So, How should I dress for jungle safari?

Assuming you would like tips on what to wear on a jungle safari, here are a few suggestions: 1. Choose light-colored, breathable fabrics such as linen or cotton. 2. Avoid clothes with strong dyes that could attract insects. 3. Consider safari-themed clothing such as vests, shorts, and hats with mosquito netting. 4. Wear comfortable shoes that can withstand getting wet and dirty. 5. Pack extra clothes in case you need to change out of wet or dirty clothes. 6. Bring along a scarf or bandana to protect your face and neck from the sun and insects.

Let’s dig into it and see what we can learn.

What Is The Best Type Of Clothing To Wear On A Jungle Safari?

The best type of clothing to wear on a jungle safari depends on the climate of the region you’re visiting. For example, if you’re going to the Amazon rainforest, you’ll want to wear light, loose-fitting clothing made of natural fabrics that will help you stay cool and comfortable in the humid conditions.

On the other hand, if you’re going on a safari in Africa, you’ll want to dress more conservatively to protect yourself from the sun and to avoid offending local cultures. In this case, you should wear long pants, long-sleeved shirts, and a hat.

In general, it’s also a good idea to wear closed-toe shoes and to avoid wearing bright colors, which can attract unwanted attention from insects and animals.

What Kind Of Clothes Will Keep Me Cool And Comfortable On A Jungle Safari?

Assuming you want tips for what to wear on a jungle safari:

The number one priority when deciding what to wear on a jungle safari is to choose clothing that will keep you cool and comfortable. The best fabrics for this are natural fibers such as cotton and linen, which allow your skin to breathe and won’t make you sweat like synthetic materials.

For the bottom half of your outfit, opt for lightweight trousers or shorts that you can roll up to deal with the heat and the occasional mosquito. A pair of comfortable walking shoes is also a must – you’ll be doing a lot of walking on your safari, so make sure your footwear is up to the task.

On top, choose a loose-fitting shirt or blouse in a light color. If you’re worried about getting sunburned, consider a long-sleeved shirt made of a lightweight fabric. A hat is also a good idea to protect your head and face from the sun.

Finally, don’t forget to pack a few essential items like insect repellent, sunscreen, and a water bottle. With these tips, you’ll be sure to stay cool and comfortable on your jungle safari.

What Should I Avoid Wearing On A Jungle Safari?

Wearing the wrong clothing on a jungle safari can be a recipe for disaster. Here are a few tips on what to avoid wearing on your next jungle adventure:

1. Don’t wear anything too loose or flowy. You don’t want your clothes to get caught on branches or thorns, or worse, attract unwanted attention from mosquitoes and other insects. Stick to close-fitting, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen.

2. Avoid wearing bright colours. In the jungle, bright colours stand out like a sore thumb and can make you an easy target for predators. Stick to muted colours like green, brown or khaki that will help you blend in with your surroundings.

3. Don’t wear anything too fragrant. Strong perfumes and colognes can attract bees and other insects, and you don’t want to be covered in bites. Opt for unscented personal care products or go natural with essential oils.

4. Leave the jewellery at home. Not only can jewellery get caught on branches and undergrowth, but it can also make noise as you move, alerting nearby animals to your presence.

5. Avoid wearing open-toed shoes. In the jungle, there are all sorts of things that can sting, bite or scratch your feet, so it’s best to keep them protected. Opt for closed-toe shoes or hiking boots.

By following these simple tips, you can avoid any fashion mishaps on your next jungle safari.

However, it’s worth bearing in mind that the jungle is a huge, varied environment, and so the temperature can vary quite a lot depending on where you are and what time of day it is.

In general, the temperature on a jungle safari will be highest during the midday sun, when it can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius. However, this can be mitigated somewhat by the fact that the jungle is usually quite shady, thanks to the dense foliage. As the sun starts to set, the temperature will start to drop, and it can get quite chilly once night falls – so make sure you pack a jumper!

Of course, this is just a general guide – the exact temperature will depend on a number of factors, including the time of year, the location of the jungle, and whether you’re on the ground or up in a tree!

What Is The Best Way To Stay Cool And Comfortable On A Jungle Safari?

One of the best ways to stay cool and comfortable on a jungle safari is to wear loose, comfortable clothing. Natural fabrics like cotton are ideal, as they’re breathable and won’t make you feel too hot.

Another way to stay cool on a jungle safari is to stay hydrated. Make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day, and avoid alcohol or caffeinated beverages, as they can actually make you feel more dehydrated.

Finally, try to avoid being out in the midday sun when it’s at its hottest. If possible, plan your activities for the early morning or late afternoon, when the temperature is cooler. And if you do need to be out in the heat of the day, take frequent breaks in the shade to cool down.

2. Choose natural colors.

When you’re choosing clothes for your jungle safari, it’s best to stick with natural colors. earth tones like brown, green, and tan will help you blend in with your surroundings. This will make it easier for you to see wildlife, as they won’t be able to spot you as easily.

3. Pack for all weather conditions.

The jungle can be unpredictable, so it’s important to be prepared for all kinds of weather. Pack a light rain jacket or poncho, as well as sunscreen and a hat to protect you from the sun. If you’re traveling during the rainy season, be sure to bring along a pair of waterproof boots.

4. Leave the jewelry at home.

It’s best to avoid wearing jewelry on your jungle safari. Not only can it be difficult to keep track of, but it can also make you a target for thieves. If you must wear jewelry, stick to simple, small pieces that you can keep safely tucked away.

5. Don’t forget your insect repellent.

Insects are a fact of life in the jungle, so be sure to pack insect repellent. Apply it generously, especially during the daytime when mosquitoes are most active.

Is There A Dress Code For Safari?

There’s no denying that a safari can be a pretty casual affair. But that doesn’t mean that you should just pack your ratty old t-shirts and shorts and call it good. Instead, try to pack clothes that can be easily transition from a day out on the safari to an evening spent relaxing back at the lodge or hotel. Long pants or shorts that are at least mid-thigh length are a good choice for both men and women. For women, a nice sundress can also be a good option. And for both men and women, t-shirts or collared shirts are always a good choice.

Additionally, If you are going on a safari, it is a good idea to pack clothes that you can wear both on the safari and in the hotel. This way, you won’t have to pack as much. A good choice of clothing is long pants or shorts that come to at least mid-thigh length, and neat t-shirts or collared shirts.

What Color Should You Not Wear On Safari?

When it comes to choosing the right safari wardrobe, there are a few key things to keep in mind. First and foremost, you’ll want to avoid wearing black or dark blue clothing. Both of these colors are known to attract tsetse flies, which can be quite a nuisance (not to mention dangerous!) during a safari.

Additionally, it’s best to leave your bright white clothing at home. Safari parks are often quite dusty, and white clothes have a tendency to get dingy quickly in such environments. The last thing you want is to look like you’re part of the wildlife!

So what colors should you wear on safari? Opt for light-colored clothing in neutral tones such as beige, khaki, or olive green. Not only will you blend in with your surroundings, but you’ll also stay cool and comfortable in the heat.

Along with, When going on a safari, it is best to avoid wearing black or dark blue clothing. This is because these colors are known to attract tsetse flies.

However, there are a few general guidelines that can help you put together a stylish and practical safari outfit.

First, consider the climate you’ll be travelling in. If you’re going to be spending time in the hot, humid jungle, you’ll want to dress accordingly. Lightweight, breathable fabrics are a must, and you’ll want to avoid anything that’s too tight or constricting.

Second, think about the activities you’ll be doing on your safari. If you’re planning on doing a lot of hiking and bushwalking, you’ll need to wear clothes that are comfortable and won’t restrict your movement. Again, breathable fabrics are key, and you might want to consider wearing shorts or skirts instead of pants.

Finally, don’t forget the little details. A hat is a must to protect you from the sun, and you might also want to pack a pair of binoculars and a camera. And, of course, don’t forget your insect repellent!

With these tips in mind, you should be able to put together a safari outfit that is both fashionable and practical.

What Colors Should I Wear On Safari?

This is a question we get a lot here at Safari Clothesline, and it’s one that can be difficult to answer. There are so many options and so many different ways to style an outfit that it can be hard to know where to start.

The best place to start is with the basics: a good pair of pants, a comfortable shirt, and a hat to protect you from the sun. From there, you can start to experiment with different colors and patterns to create a look that is both stylish and practical.

Here are a few of our favorite color combinations for safari clothes:

Khaki, beige, or olive green pants are a great option for safari. They are neutral colors that will go with just about anything, and they won’t stand out too much against the natural backdrop of the bush.

White, light blue, or other light colors are ideal for safari shirts. They will help to keep you cool in the heat, and they won’t attract too much attention from the animals.

A wide-brimmed hat is a must-have for safari. It will protect you from the sun and help to keep you cool. A neutral color like tan or khaki is a great choice for a safari hat.

Accessories:

A pair of binoculars is a must-have for any safari. They will help you to spot animals from a distance, and they make a great fashion statement, too!

When it comes to colors, there are really no hard and fast rules. The most important thing is to choose a combination that you feel comfortable in and that won’t make you stand out too much from your surroundings. With a little bit of trial and error, you’ll be sure to find the perfect safari outfit for you.

What Not To.Wear On Safari?

It seems like every year there are more and more people venturing out on safari. And while that’s great news for the animals, it’s not so great for the fashion-savvy traveler. You see, there’s a lot of misinformation out there about what to wear on safari. And if you’re not careful, you could end up looking like a tourist.

Here are a few fashion don’ts for safari:

1. Don’t wear white.

White is the ultimate no-no for safari. Not only will it show the dirt and dust, but it will also make you look like you don’t belong. Safari is a rugged and dirty experience, so leave the white clothes at home.

2. Don’t wear black.

Black is another color that you should avoid. Like white, it will show the dirt and dust. And it will also make you look like you’re trying to blend in with the animals.

3. Don’t wear camouflage.

This one should be a no-brainer, but you’d be surprised how many people think they can get away with wearing camouflage on safari. But here’s the thing: you’re not going to blend in with the animals. In fact, you’ll probably stand out like a sore thumb. So leave the camouflage at home.

4. Don’t wear bright colors.

Bright colors are a no-no for safari. Not only will they make you look like a tourist, but they can also scare the animals. So stick to neutral colors like khaki, tan, and brown.

5. Don’t wear heels.

Heels are a big no-no for safari. Not only will they make it difficult to walk, but they can also sink into the sand. So leave the heels at home and opt for comfortable flats or sneakers.

Now that you know what not to wear on safari, you can start planning your perfect outfit. But remember, the most important thing is to be comfortable. Safari is all about the animals, so don’t let your clothes get in the way of your experience.

It’s little wonder that green is one of the most soothing colors for the eye, known to evoke feelings of calm, nurturing, and rejuvenation.

But before you bathe the walls of your nursery in deep shades of a jungle green, you might also consider a lighter shade for a softer touch; warm, neutral colors tend to work for a space meant for infants to sleep. Nature-inspired wallpaper does wonders for the eye: check out this beautiful wisteria wallpaper .

And if you’re really intent on preserving that vibrant jungle essence, you can follow the advice of Andrea Magno in an article from marthastewart.com ; the Director of Color Marketing and Development for Benjamin Moore recommends Lehigh Green HC-131 for a shade that’s comfort-curated for nurseries but retains in a deep, sophisticated tone.

Animal Lamps or Leaf Lamp Shades For Jungle Theme Nursery

When deciding on lighting options for a nursery, you’ll want to keep with the theme of warm, comforting tones. That means soft, indirect lighting will likely be your best bet. Imagine dulcet hints of sunlight filtered through a towering jungle canopy, and you’re on the right latitude.

Of course, most of us don’t have the option of building a treehouse nursery deep in the Amazon rainforest. What we can do is take our lighting inspiration from the denizens who do live in the jungle (the mighty jungle).

Few things excite the young imagination more than our friends in the animal kingdom. Decorating your nursery with an animal lamp lets you literally brighten up your child’s environment with a vivid representation of their favorite jungle creature.

Just make sure to choose something cute and cuddly ( like this lion night light from Etsy ) and not something scary or creepy, for your child’s sake and your own – the last thing you want to see when you switch on the light for a nighttime feeding is to be greeted by a giant glowing red tarantula.

If even cuddly animals are too gauche for your taste, you might consider a more subtle touch with a leaf lampshade . A simple touch that can turn an ordinary lamp into a festival of glowing greenery, a leaf lampshade may also age a little better if you’re eyeing long-term use.

Green Leaf Curtains for the Quiet Times in a Jungle Theme Nursery

Nurseries are meant to be sanctuaries. To that end, it’s nice to have the option of blocking off the outside world from time to time with a set of curtains – kind of like having our own secret hideout deep inside a jungle grove.

If you really want to dial up the seclusion, look for thick curtains of the variety that completely block out light. These will help create a nap time environment that’s as calm and relaxing as a lazy ride down a jungle river. As an added bonus, sturdy black-out curtains also reduce outside noise.

For consistency with your jungle motif, green leaf curtains such as this banana-leaf themed number can provide a wonderfully floral effect during the day and a protective barrier during the night.

Putting another layer of sheer curtains behind them can add an effect that simulates the misty light of a steamy jungle morning.

The Butterfly Shelf Effect in a Jungle Theme Nursery

By now, your nursery is starting to look like a real Kipling affair. But you might still be thinking that your walls could use a little extra flair; after all, your source of inspiration is a verdant wonderland teeming with texture.

You could put up some leafy wallpaper to spruce up the effect a bit. While effective use of wallpaper can add a little depth, you may still find a two-dimensional medium limiting.

For our money, the best way to add a truly visceral element is by exploring the space with shelving. No need to limit yourself to the ordinary either – butterfly shelves are the perfect dynamic accoutrements to your budding safari outfit.

Chart A Journey With Globe Bookends in a Jungle Theme Nursery

The world is much different than it was when exploration meant filling in big blank spots on a map. But even in modern times, the jungle safari evokes vivid dreams of adventure into the wilder parts of our world.

Before your little one becomes a globetrotter, the nursery is where they’ll first begin to form their ideas of discovery. In addition to being a place of comfort and security for the developing mind, it can be a place of wonder.

You can keep the spirit of the safari alive for your jungle tyke with a classic piece of decor: the globe bookend . For the purpose of inspiring young Dodwells and Livingstones, the globe bookend does the job with a timeless flair.

Vines Hanging From The Ceiling in a Jungle Theme Nursery

Some of you may be thinking about a way to really take your jungle-themed nursery over the top. We see you and we dig your passion; you don’t hold back on Halloween or the holidays, and you sure won’t for your little one’s lair.

Vines. Hanging, twisting, jungle vines undulating gently throughout the nursery. If the idea gives you a thrill, you’ll be happy to know that there are a variety of fake vines readily available on the market.

If you want to go full ape and get the real thing, you can try growing Devil’s Ivy around your walls and ceilings using the techniques described in this DIY video .

How to create an adorable jungle or safari theme in a nursery

Words Megan Lambert

You can go wild when it comes to decorating your child’s nursery and kid’s bedroom. It’s a great space to offer them a bit of escapism, to allow them to be playful, curious, and feel safe to explore. A popular trend on Pinterest, we’ve seen lots of our decorating community transforming their children’s bedrooms into exotic jungle or animal themed safari escapes. We’re obsessed. So, here’s how you can nail that really wild look in your child’s nursery or bedroom.

Jungle and safari theme nursery idea: tropical colour scheme

Transport your little one to warmer climes with some warming tropical decor . This doesn’t have to mean wall-to-wall colour, you can keep it restful with soothing neutral decor . A little splash will go a long way to creating a fun and inviting environment for them to play. Or go full tropical vibes with warming yellows and luscious greens . Or what about channelling the pinks and purples of exotic flowers or the airy blues of a desert island sky. 

Jungle and safari theme nursery idea: wallpaper

Wallpaper is one of 2022’s hottest trends and it’s no secret that we’re a little obsessed. But we are OBSESSED with wallpaper in a kid’s bedroom . Children connect with pictures, shapes, and colours before they connect with words. Animal wallpaper is a great way to allow them to explore with their imagination. Creating little stories and characters for every giraffe, monkey or elephant they might discover. With its soft pinks, sunny yellow and soothing greens, Monkey 01 is a really fun and playful design, perfect for a child’s bedroom. Or why not try Safari 02 wallpaper , an ode to wild animals with a creamy background for a soothing feel. Don’t want to wallpaper the entire room? Go for a wallpaper feature wall.

Jungle and safari theme nursery idea: plants

Think back to your earliest memories. How every dining table towered and even the smallest garden felt like another universe to explore. Now imagine if your nursery was filled with plants. Your little ones will feel like they’re on a jungle safari every day of the year surrounded by leafy foliage. Then there’s the real life health benefits. Not only can indoor plants reduce anxiety and boost creativity, they improve a room’s air quality whilst connecting us with nature. Sound too good to be true? Learn all there is to know about the biophilic decor trend .

Jungle and safari theme nursery idea: stuffed animal toys 

Animals are a great medium for connecting with our inner child. Each one conveys a different feeling or emotion. Fill your child’s jungle safari themed bedroom with all of their favourite stuffed animal toys. You might even be surprised to see which ones they pick up, depending on what mood they’re in—whilst monkeys might be a bit more extroverted and playful, elephants are reliable and dependable, and a lion might just signify a tantrum on the horizon.

101 Guide to Jungle Safari Baby Shower Party Ideas

Planning a baby shower is an exciting journey, and when you choose a Jungle Safari theme, you’re embarking on a wild adventure! Jungle-themed baby showers are not only trendy but also promise a roaring good time for everyone involved.

From the moment you send out invitations to the final farewell party favors, we’ve got you covered with creative and detailed ideas to make your Jungle Safari Themed Baby Shower an unforgettable event.

Invitations

The invitation is the first glimpse your guests will get into the jungle adventure that awaits them. To set the safari tone right from the start, consider creating custom invitations featuring adorable safari animals like lions, giraffes, and zebras.

These can be easily designed using online invitation platforms or crafted by a local artist. Don’t forget to include playful phrases like “Join the Safari Adventure” or “Wild Times Ahead” to build excitement and anticipation.

How to Download

• What you need to do is click (left-click) the preview image.
• You should see a new page popped-up in your display, then you need to “right-click” the image and select “Save image as”
• Locate the destination folder, or just leave it as it is. Then “Enter” to start the download process.

Please note this, all files/materials have been included in that package, so once it’s finished, you are able to customize it right away.

Transforming Your Space into a Jungle Oasis

Transforming your party space into a jungle oasis is essential for creating the right atmosphere.

Start by selecting a color scheme dominated by lush greens and earthy browns. You can use green and brown balloons to mimic the jungle’s foliage and hang vines made of green crepe paper from the ceiling to give the illusion of a dense jungle canopy.

A show-stopping focal point can be achieved with a safari-themed backdrop. You have the option to purchase jungle scene setters that depict realistic landscapes, or if you’re feeling crafty, you can create one yourself using printed images of jungle scenes.

Adding stuffed animals like tigers, elephants, and monkeys around the room as table centerpieces will complete the jungle setting.

Food and Treats

For a truly immersive experience, your menu should be inspired by jungle cuisine. Consider serving dishes like tropical fruit skewers with a tangy mango dip, mini sliders featuring exotic meats, and coconut shrimp with a zesty dipping sauce. These options provide both variety and authenticity to your jungle feast.

The pièce de résistance, however, should be your jungle-themed cake. Enlist the talents of a skilled baker to craft a cake featuring a fondant jungle complete with edible animal figurines.

To make this task easier, you can find jungle-themed cake toppers on Amazon. This cake will not only be a feast for the taste buds but also a visual delight.

For those with a sweet tooth, cupcakes adorned with edible animal toppers can serve as a delightful addition to the dessert table. Adding playful touches like edible “jungle vines” made from licorice or green icing will enhance the overall theme.

Games and Activities

Games and activities are the heart of any baby shower, and a Jungle Safari-themed event offers unique opportunities for interactive fun. Here are some detailed ideas to keep your guests engaged:

Jungle Safari Scavenger Hunt

Organize a safari-themed scavenger hunt with hidden plush safari animals placed strategically around the venue. Provide guests with binoculars and safari hats to elevate the experience.

The first team to find all the animals wins a prize. This game not only adds excitement but also encourages teamwork and exploration.

Diaper Cake Decorating

Unleash your guests’ creativity with a diaper cake decorating station. Supply them with plain diapers, colorful ribbons, and jungle-themed decorations like miniature animal figurines, leaves, and vines.

This activity allows guests to create their own unique diaper cake, and the finished products can be used as eye-catching decor during the event.

Guess the Baby Animal

Offer a fun and educational activity by showcasing pictures of baby animals and challenging guests to guess which adult animal they grow into.

Provide answer sheets and reveal the correct answers later in the party. This game adds an educational twist to the festivities and can spark interesting conversations among guests.

Party Favors

As the jungle adventure comes to a close, send your guests home with safari-themed party favors as tokens of the memorable day. Here are some detailed ideas:

Animal-Shaped Cookies

Arrange for adorable animal-shaped cookies, such as lions, elephants, and zebras, to be placed in favor bags. These delicious treats can be custom-made by a local baker or ordered online.

Jungle-Themed Candles

Explore jungle-themed candles featuring designs like tropical leaves, safari animals, or jungle scenes. These candles not only serve as charming keepsakes but also add a touch of ambiance to guests’ homes.

Potted Plants

Symbolize the lush jungle with small potted plants, such as mini succulents or ferns, placed in decorative containers.

Attach personalized tags to the plants, thanking guests for joining the adventure. This favor is not only eco-friendly but also a living reminder of your special day.

When it comes to party favor packaging, you can find attractive and jungle-appropriate favor bags on Amazon. These bags make the perfect finishing touch to your safari-themed party favors.

Costumes: Dressing the Part

Encourage your guests to fully embrace the safari theme by dressing in appropriate jungle attire. Here are some detailed costume ideas for your Jungle Safari Themed Baby Shower:

• Khaki Safari Outfits: Suggest that guests wear khaki shorts, shirts, or dresses to capture the essence of jungle explorers. Add pith helmets and safari hats for an extra touch of authenticity.
• Animal Print Accessories: Encourage attendees to incorporate animal print accessories like scarves, belts, or even footwear into their outfits. These additions can be subtle yet contribute to the overall theme.

Incorporating costumes not only adds an extra layer of fun to the event but also creates fantastic photo opportunities. Be sure to have a designated photo area with jungle-inspired props and backdrops to capture the memories.

There are two large regions called Altai: the Altai Republic with the administrative center in Gorno-Altaysk and the Altai Krai with its capital Barnaul. The most famous attractions are in the Altai Mountains, but you can also spend some great days in Altai Krai. Here I am telling you where to go in the Altai Krai to have a great time.

Visit Belokurikha - to walk along a terrenkur

Visit Altayskoye - to learn all about Altai herbs

Visit Basargino and experience life in a modern village

Basargino looks like it was created in some kind of computer simulation game. And there, on a little piece of land you need to arrange cozy wooden comfortable houses, a farm, a church, a cafe and a restaurant with insanely delicious meals, an apiary, lakes with fish, a chicken coop and pastures. You also should have cows, pigs, goats and sheep. And also wolves and yaks to make the visitors even more delighted.

Visit the forge in Belokurikha and forge a horseshoe for good luck 

There is not a feminine equivalent for a blacksmith, therefore I will simply introduce Anna Biletskaya as the blacksmith. Anna, armed with a heavy hammer and an anvil, is able to forge a horseshoe for a horse in 15 minutes and a decorative horseshoe for luck in only 10 minutes. Well the last one is more in demand lately. Anna opened her smithy to visitors a few years ago. This blacksmith in a skirt shows the whole process during her short master classes: first heat a piece of metal over a fire, then take a hammer and beat it well on the anvil, pull it back, then bend it and put it back into the fire. Finally, cool and clean it.

Visit "The Gold of Altai"(Zoloto Altaya) - to bath in Sanduny or to ride a horse

A hot bath filled with herbs such as hypericum, yarrow, camomile and also a rejuvenating bathtub -  these are the Russian answer to the best Asian spa with plumeria flowers. Well, the Altai version looks more brutal, but you will quickly feel the great effect. The herbs are collected and specially prepared here, in "The Gold of Altai" eco-hotel on the shore of the lake. Bathhouses are warmed up in both old Russian traditional ways: the "black" banya (a smoke goes out of bathhouse through cracks in wooden walls) and the "white" banya (a smoke goes out of the bathhouse through a pipe). The professional bath attendants will help guests adjust the right amount of steam and smack them briskly all over their bodies with special bath brooms. The largest horse farm in this district is also located in the hotel area; you should not miss the chance to ride a horse at least around the local territory.

What else to do in Altai:

• Take a walk through the pine forest near Barnaul
• Stop by the village of Srostki, where Vasily Shukshin (the soviet movie director) was born
• Spend a day at the "Biruzovaya Katun" Resort
• Take a walk along Biysk and visit the museum of the Chuysky Tract
• Relax in the "Altay Palace", check-in to the only official gaming zone in Siberia
• Go to Lake Aya
