YOUR CHECKLIST ON WHAT TO PACK FOR A TANZANIA SAFARI

You Do Not Necessarily Have To Wear The Camouflage Patterned Outfit Every Day On Your Safari Vacation, It Is Wise That You Get An Idea Of What Exactly You Need To Pack.



Just booked your first African safari? You may have realized that there are a series of considerations when it comes to clothing, but don’t panic if you end up with information overload from Google. Try not to over-think safari gear – there is no need to blow thousands of dollars on traditional khaki gear.

Having said that, it is better to blend in than stand out, so neutral toned clothing is best – think beige, brown, muted greens, and anything on this spectrum.

We’ve put together a one-stop guide on packing for your safari, with information on material, weather considerations, area idiosyncrasies and some useful packing tips.

  Mount Meru Hospital - Arusha City Since the onset of COVID-19 and the immediate and dramatic subsequent loss in booking numbers suffered by tour operators as a consequence of travel restrictions imposed both by governments worldwide and initially, the Tanzanian government itself, it has been surprising to us that the Tanzanian government has not made more effort to make information available to prospective travelers explaining how to go about ensuring that they can comply with their own country's travel requirements on returning from their Kilimanjaro climb or Tanzanian safari.
