Packing Guide: Safari
Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime! While we help handle major logistics, what you pack makes all the difference in maximizing your experience. This list focuses on the essentials — like layering for early morning game drives to practical gear that ensures you're prepared for every moment under the African sun. Let's make sure you're packed, prepared, and ready to go!
Safari calls for casual clothing, so the goal is to be comfy, but feel free to dress on theme with neutral colors like khaki, light brown, green, and tan.
