To prepare for your Safari holiday you should take into consideration all the items you may need, including types of clothing. During the day you would normally wear Khaki/brown/beige shorts and a T-shirt. White should be avoided as it makes you more noticeable to the wildlife. A change into long sleeves and trousers should be brought for the evening for warmth and protection from mosquitoes. Alongside this, insect repellent and other general hot holiday items such as moisturiser, sunscreen/block, sunglasses, binoculars etc. You need to make sure you are not carrying too much as safaris can last long lengths of time and it is unnecessary to bring your whole travel bag with you. Bring a small rucksack which can fit your essentials in comfortably. Everything else should be left at your hotel. Safaris can be a once in a life-time opportunity, make sure you are properly prepared with everything you need. If you are unsure about what you may need, speak to your tour organiser or guide.
