What to Wear on Safari

Pack comfort, not couture. For your luxury safari, opt for casual attire. Leave your fine jewelry at home to fully immerse yourself in the wilderness. While embracing the classic safari look isn’t mandatory, it seamlessly blends into the local aesthetic and offers practical advantages. Channel the timeless style of those who’ve called Africa home for generations, and discover why this enduring fashion choice remains relevant for modern explorers.


For optimal wildlife encounters, opt for neutral-colored clothing. Bright hues, especially red, can be perceived as a threat by animals. Interestingly, it’s believed that lions associate red with the Maasai, traditional warriors known for hunting lions as a rite of passage. By choosing subdued tones, you enhance your chances of observing wildlife in their natural behavior.

 

Opt for the timeless elegance of khaki, olive, tan, and brown tones for your safari ensemble. These earthy hues seamlessly blend into the African landscape, enhancing your wildlife encounters, particularly during immersive walking safaris. These colors effortlessly mask the dust and dirt of the bush and provide ample storage with their practical pockets, ensuring you’re equipped for every adventure.
