Explore Africa on a safari tailored to you.
What to wear on your Tanzanian African Safari
It never gets really cold in Tanzania/Kenya, so lightweight clothing is the norm. However, in Arusha and Nairobi they experience colder weather in the months of June and July. On safari, short sleeved shirts, blouses and shorts are ideal. A light jacket or sweater may be needed in the evening at higher altitudes. Sensible walking shoes, a hat with a wide enough brim to keep off the sun, and sunglasses are essential. A light parka or heavy sweater would also be essential. It can be colder in the evening and morning and, if climbing, warm clothing is necessary.
Safari dress is comfortable and casual. Layers of clothing are recommended since temperatures vary throughout the day, starting out cool, getting warmer and becoming cool again. Keep it simple and bring things you don’t mind getting dusty. Some suggestions would be:
* Comfortable walking shoes.
* Tee shirts and light tops, shorts, long comfortable pants
* Light fleece or sweater
* Swimsuit
* Cotton socks and underwear
