To enjoy an African safari tour to the fullest, it is important that you carry the right clothes and accessories. One of the basics of planning a safari is to pack your bags light. A safari is not as same as other vacations where you will need to wear your best clothes and keep changing them frequently. For an African safari you need to pack your bags with the minimum clothes which are comfortable to wear.

Given below are few guidelines which can help you to pack your bags better for an African safari tour:

• Pack your bags with light coloured clothes.

• Africa has very hot climate. Therefore, carry comfortable shorts. However, they should be rough and tough to be able to stand the wild woods. It will be best if you carry water-resistant, wrinkle-proof, stain-proof and rip-proof shorts.

• Do not carry clothes which just fit you or the ones which all most fall off.

• Carry clothes which can provide you protection from sunlight, mosquitoes and other insects.

• One pair of comfortable shoes is enough for your entire African safari. However, you can carry an extra pair for emergencies.

• Carry accessories like sunglasses and hats. You will find them very useful during the day.

• You can carry a light fleece jacket for cooler evenings.
