What are the best shoes for a safari ?


Safari especially in Africa ranges from Walking , Boating, Hiking , Vehicle and others.

If its walking safari ?

getting proper walking safari shoes is important . If you’re walking in the bush, you need good closed-toe shoes, never flip flops or sandals. I hate to break it to you, but snakes, spiders, and scorpions are never far from your feet.






Keen hiking shoes works here. They are an older model of the Targhee II. They are breathable and they dry super quick. Keen hiking shoes have what they call KeenDry ( a waterproof breathable membrane). Not just a gimmick, it totally works and they are dry within a couple hours.

Shoes for Camping while on a Safari

If you prefer camping safari, you should pack a pair of flip flops to use while showering. Your feet will thank you.
You can also wear flip flops around camp, but always bear in mind that there might be lots of thorns around.
If you're not comfortable with flip flops then you can wear good quality sandals with a thick sole and with a bit more foot support. Thick soles are for the thorn issues and support for comfort. You can use them camping, around the lodge, or even on a light hike if you don’t want to take hiking shoes.


In summary:

  • You’re most important shoe is an every day comfortable sandal.
  • If you are going to do any nature walking at all then a closed-toed lightweight hiking shoe is a must have. 
  • If you can only take two pairs of shoes, wear these on the plane and pack your sandals.
  • If you have a little extra room then throw in some light weight flip flops for around camp. Or go nuts and take a cute pair of dressier shoes for those nights out and dinners at the lodge.

We hope our recommendations have helped you choose the right shoes for your next safari !

Good luck!

Trip Report: Kilimanjaro Western Breach Route

  The Western Breach is a gap in the summit wall on the western side of Kibo that was caused by lava flow hundreds of thousands of years ago. It provides a challenging access point up to Uhuru Peak and can be incorporated into various routes on Kilimanjaro. The Western Breach can be approached from many of Kilimanjaro’s routes, including the Lemosho and Shira Route in the West, and the Machame and Umbwe Route in the South. The Umbwe Route is the most popular and demanding approach. Each day you will benefit from camps that have been professionally set up before your arrival by your private team of local porters.

How to Get a PCR Test in Arusha ?

  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. The following information is provided to reassure prospective climbers that there is a straightforward way to enjoy the incredible tourism and adventurous opportunities that Tanzania offers while ensuring that returning home afterward is stress-free.
