1. Wear long sleeves and pants -
Long pants and long-sleeved tops keep your skin covered and so protect you from the cold and wind, sun, and insect bites. While many places in Africa can get really hot, remember that some can also get downright chilly! This is especially true of many inland places when you're out on safari early in the morning or at night.
Long pants are especially useful if you're going on a walking safari or a game drive where you're allowed to sometimes exit the vehicle. This is because they help to protect your legs from being scratched or bitten.
2. Choose neutral and earthy colours -
The idea on a safari is that you spot wild animals – not that they spot you. So you want to blend in with the environment as much as possible to avoid drawing unnecessary attention to yourself. This is especially true for cycling or walking safaris, where there's the chance to get really close to certain animals.
Avoid camouflage clothing, as some African nations reserve that for the military. But good colour choices include earthy tones and neutrals like brown, khaki and grey. You probably want to avoid white, cream and other light colours as they'll show up any dust and dirt. Black isn't great for keeping you cool, and blue can actually attract tsetse flies!
3. Wear closed shoes -
Closed shoes are especially important if you're going on one of the kinds of safari where you get out of the vehicle, like on a walking safari. The ground can be uneven, thorny, and there are snakes and other critters – so please protect your feet. Good, worn-in hiking boots, worn with hiking socks, are best for walking safaris. Some even like to wear gaiters on safari walks to ensure they won't suffer a snake bite.
4. Bring a proper sunhat -
You need to wear a sunhat on safari in order to prevent burning and also possibly heatstroke. A hat with a full brim is far better than a sports cap as it protects the back of your neck in addition to your face. A crown-less peak or visor isn't a great idea as your head can burn badly, especially if you have a parting or some hair thinning or balding.
5. Avoid strong perfume or cologne -
You don't want the wildlife to move away from you because they're bothered by your foreign-smelling perfume or cologne. Rather let the animals – and your fellow safari-goers – enjoy the smell of the great outdoors. (That said, please don't refrain from applying your morning deodorant – nobody is advocating for that!)
