39 Cute Safari Outfit Ideas For Your Next Excursion

Inside: 39 cute safari outfit ideas for your next vacay excursion.

Safari excursions are super cool ways to see nature and some of your favorite animals out in the wild, in their natural habitat. It’s a happier environment than the zoo, and there are so many cute ways to dress for it too.

If you’re traveling abroad somewhere you can go on a safari, you’ve got to get one in the books!

If you’ve already made the reservations, I’ve got plenty of cute outfit options for you to scope out and order before your vacay.

Utility jumpers and cargos are super trendy right now, which is perfect because that’s what you need to be looking for to pack for a safari! Cute outfits are everything on vacation especially when you’re the type of gal that always wants to look the part.

What Do You Wear On A Safari?

Safaris are generally pretty warm and dusty, and an easy way to get the best experience is to lay low and not draw a ton of attention to yourself through patterns and colors.

Loose fitting and neutral colored is the name of the game on a safari, to keep you cool and keep from attracting the wildlife… Wild cats and Tsetse flies alike! We don’t want any of them coming after us.

The cargo trend is still going strong, so check out these safari outfit ideas to give you some inspiration while you go shopping for your adventure.

Thinking of rocking a safari friendly jumpsuit? Here are some types to style jumpsuit outfits.

What Shoes To Wear

This might be a no-brainer, but it’s nice to know what’s recommended while you’re packing.

Even if you’re in an off road vehicle on your excursion, there will likely be plenty of walking too. So plan for it by wearing some sturdy sneakers or light hiking boots.

These won’t be too hard to toss in your suitcase, but you want to make sure you’re okay with these getting dusty! It’s not too clean out there, (it is the wilderness after all!) so don’t wear any sneakers that will get permanently dirtied up by the environment unless you’re okay with it.

You also want to make sure they’re actually good walking shoes. While sneakers are so trendy for any outfit, not all of them are actually functional. So it’s time to test out your faves and make sure they’re ready to walk in.

Safari Outfit Ideas – What Not To Wear

Every location and safari company has different do’s and don’ts about what not to wear, but likely, there are some staples you just simply don’t want to wear that apply to any and all excursions.

First, let’s discuss the colors you want to avoid on your safari adventure. You’ll want to avoid both ends of the light and dark spectrum. White will get dirty in the dusty air, so I would steer clear of any white and creams! Sure, it will wash out, but it will show while you’re out on your excursion. If you want to hide any dust you collect while out and about, go ahead and lean towards some darker colors. But! Not too dark!

Black and navy are said to attract certain bugs and flies that you don’t want to see while out in the wilderness, so maybe go ahead and ditch your darkest items!

Jeans, flannels, and animal prints will cause issues for you on a safari as well.

Animal print is banned by many safaris, simply because you don’t know how animals will respond to you wearing the same coat as their prey! It’s generally just not a great idea so save your leopard print for another day!

Jeans and flannels simply attract Tsetse flies and you don’t want that… So go ahead and plan for leggings instead of jeans and a solid colored layer if you need something for cooler weather.

Something else to note about African countries as a whole: camouflage is usually reserved for strictly military wear. In the US it’s a cool and trendy piece and pattern to wear on the streets as well as while out in the wild, but it’s not so accepted abroad. Make sure you know what the culture is around this print before you break it out, or better yet just rule it out of your outfits over all.

Safari Outfits For Women

Alright ladies, here are some of the best safari outfit ideas for you. These are all pretty trendy pieces, so if you’re looking for a good social media picture while you’re out there too, you’ll be ready.

Cargo, lightweight fabrics, and neutral colors are the move, so that’s a lot of what you’re going to see in these outfit ideas. Pair them with your favorite sneakers or hiking boots (that pass the walking test!) and you’re good to go.

  • Linen And Khaki
  • Cargo Jumpsuit
  • Brown Leggings
  • Cotton Long Sleeve
  • Linen Layers
  • Denim Shirt
  • Utility Shorts

Family Safari Outfit Ideas

Bringing kiddos with you on your safari? You’ll want to make sure they stay cool and don’t attract bugs so that they can enjoy the adventure as much as you do.

Family safari outfit ideas are going to follow the same guidelines as yours, but here are some extra ideas you may not be packing for yourself. Or they can match you and have a “mini me” moment! How cute.

  • Relaxed Jeans
  • Cargo Vest Or Jeans
  • Cargos For Everyone
  • Fashion Lover
  • Linen Rompers
  • Khaki Overalls
  • Linen Overalls

Safari Party Outfits

Is safari day on your spirit week line up this year? Or are you planning on attending a safari themed party? Here are some cute safari outfit ideas for you that don’t follow the strict guidelines on what you’d want to wear on an actual safari!

Stay trendy but stay on theme with these outfits.

  • Color Scheme
  • Western Hottie
  • Mini Tee Dress
  • Oversized Button Up

Outfit Ideas

There are so many cute safari outfit ideas you can snag for a safari adventure, so here are just a few more ideas!

While you’re not meant to be the main attraction– that should be lions and tigers (and bears…?!) you’ll want to look cute simply for the sake of being cute for all of your vacation activities.

  • Light Fabrics
  • Tie Dye Layer
  • Trekking Romper
  • Light Cardigan Layer
  • Khaki Romper
  • Linen Jumpsuit
  • Ribbed Knit

Your next safari adventure is going to be done in style. You’ll love seeing what you normally see in photos and in documentaries right in front of your eyes, and seeing it in style. Whether you have kids in tow or not, it’s going to be a magical experience.

If you’re prepping for a safari party or safari day at school, you’re going to be best dressed for sure. There are so many cute trends circulating that fit the safari vibe, so you’ll find something that’s a combination of on theme and on trend and look cool doing it. Don’t sweat the party prep, your outfit is about to be taken care of.

Safari outfit ideas can be bland or fun, but you’ll make it look cool no matter what you wear! Have fun at your party or on your vacay, and keep an eye out for wild animals.

If you get inspired by nature and want to start rocking some animal print outfits, here are tips for styling your leopard print !

What to Wear On a Safari: Safari Outfit Ideas & Inspo

what to wear on safari

As I attempted to pack for my trip to Kenya a few years ago, I was STRESSED. I read every. single. article. available online, but I never really found one that gave specific enough suggestions for what to wear on safari—which is why, when I got back, I knew I obviously had to create my own guide with PLENTY of cute safari outfit ideas.

This post primarily focuses on what clothes to wear on safari for women, but I’ve also included a few photos of what my husband wore, just in case you need outfit ideas for men as well!

safari outfit ideas

Below, I’ll give you specific examples about what clothes what to pack for a safari in the following categories: – jackets – pants – tops – footwear – accessories – insect repellent wipes – sunscreen – sunglasses – nighttime outfits – carry-on luggage and duffel bags – what to pack in the bag you take with you on your game drives

safari outfit ideas

Also: if you haven’t read my secrets to surviving a long-haul flight and my suggestions for comfy travel outfits , I’d recommend checking it out before your trip!

Consider this the only guide you will ever need to pack for a safari. ENJOY!

Scroll to the bottom for safari outfit inspo based on the looks I wore on my own trip.

WHAT TO WEAR ON SAFARI:

Most people will tell you to avoid navy blue or black clothing on safari, since dark colors attract tsetse flies (an insect native to tropical Africa.)

You’re better off with neutrals, like green, khaki, white, or light blue—especially because it gets hot. I’d recommend cute khaki trousers , lightweight lounge pants , breathable joggers , light sweats , or even leggings (but remember to avoid black.)

Also remember you’ll be sitting in whatever you wear for hours on end, so make sure you’re comfortable in whatever you choose.

One thing I read over and over again was the importance of layering. And it’s true: in the mornings and after sun down, the temperatures get fairly chilly, and you’ll want to be bundled up—but during the day, it gets oppressively hot.

The best advice I can give you is to start with a base layer (like a t-shirt or tank top ), then add a second layer (like a button-up shirt or light sweater), and finally, top it with a jacket or puffer vest + scarf.

I also LOOOOVE jumpsuits and would have totally brought some on my own trip if I had thought of it. They’re just so easy to throw on and they’re super comfortable. Find a few good picks below!

Here are similar options to what I wore, which you can click to shop:

This will depend on the type of safari you’re doing, but in my experience, hard core hiking boots (which I initially thought I needed) would have been totally unnecessary.

For the most part, you’ll be spending your game drives inside the vehicle and doing very little walking, so my advice is to wear whatever you’re most comfortable in.

Boots or high-top sneakers are great because they’ll cover your ankles, but I honestly saw one girl wearing sandals—and she was fine. (I wouldn’t wear sandals because of all the dirt/dust/insects, but you get the point.)

DUFFEL BAGS

Most safaris have strict weight restrictions on baggage because of the size of the plane you take into the desert. (More deets on that in my Safari 101 masterpost !) These duffels all fit way more than you’d expect and will meet the requirements.

WHAT TO WEAR AT NIGHT DURING SAFARI

This was one of the things I was most confused about. Do people dress up for dinner? Is it cold? What aesthetic should I be going for?

The answer: pretty much anything goes. Sanctuary Olonana , where I stayed, is considered on the “fancier” end, but there definitely wasn’t a dress code.

Some nights I wore a casual dress with a scarf, other nights I wore jeans and a blouse, and one night we decided to go straight to dinner from a drive, which meant I showed up in my safari clothes.

I wouldn’t buy anything special to wear at night—just work with what you have.

ACCESSORIES

what to wear on safari outfit

Temperatures tend to fluctuate dramatically on safari, so layers—and scarves—are key.

Plus, if you find yourself engulfed in a dust storm, you’ll be grateful to have something to cover your face. I’d recommend something warm for the morning, and a lighter alternative during the day and at night.

I wore a heavier blanket scarf (similar to the below) over my shoulders in the mornings and late at night, and a lighter silk scarf by Cuyana wrapped around my neck during the day.

Madewell  Bandana Scarf

This bandana scarf is IDEAL for safari — plus it’s under $40 and is a light color.

These deet wipes were a godsent. Super easy to toss into your bag, and unlike a large can of insect repellent, they barely took up any room.

Bonus: they come in a resealable packet. These are the exact ones I bought, and I only got bit once.

I wouldn’t have survived without this genius brush-on sunscreen , which I kept in my bag during game-drives and re-applied constantly.

Because most of your time is spent driving through dust and dirt, the idea of putting liquid sunscreen on felt kind of gross to me. This little brush was the perfection solution.

I’m a huge fan of Ray Ban aviators, but more recently I bought these $15 dupes on Amazon and I’ve been LIVING in them. If you’re the kind of person who constantly misplaces your sunglasses – I would highly, highly recommend.

MOISTURIZING SHAMPOO & CONDITIONER

After a few days of being in the desert, my hair literally felt like straw. Luckily I’m a PSYCHO and anticipated that the arid climate would require a super hydrating shampoo and conditioner, so I packed the travel-sized version of this super moisturizing Briogeo shampoo and conditioner.

My husband and I both wore our hats every single day. Having the sun beat down on you for hours can be a killer, plus, you KNOW how I feel about wrinkles. Don’t be a dummy. Bring a hat.

This one from Madewell is PERFECT. Had I seen it before my trip, it’s definitely what I would have bought.

PACKING CUBES

best packing cubes for long trips

Set of 7 packing cube s, $21

Space is often limited on the small charter flights to the Masai Mara and other Kenya safari destinations, which means that every inch counts.

Packing cubes were a game changer for me. They not only keep your belongings neatly organized, but they also compress items to help maximize space. (Another one of my top space-saving travel hacks ? Use contact lens cases to store liquids like foundation and moisturizer. It frees up SO much room in your toiletry bag .)

Calpak and Stoney Clover both make great ones, or you can find them on places like Amazon (the ones I linked here are perfect and reasonably priced .)

WHAT TO BRING WITH YOU ON GAME DRIVES

  • Blanket scarf
  • Hairbrush (the wind really does a number on your hair & you obviously want to look FRESH for pics)
  • Lipbalm/Chapstick
  • External battery & charging cord
  • Bottle of water
  • Powder sunscreen (to reapply during the day)
  • Fanny pack (perfect for storing your must-haves)
  • Jacket (for early in the morning and after the sun went down)
  • Hand sanitizer or wet wipes

Safari Outfit Ideas to Pack When You Finally Take That Dream Trip

Packing for a safari is a science: You need to be prepared for changing temperatures, high sun, and plenty of dust, as well as cocktail hour and a dip in the pool—and all of your safari outfits, plus toiletries and gear, have to fit in a soft-sided duffel with a strict weight limit. We polled our resident experts and trusted specialists for safari outfit ideas, whether you're staying in a luxe tented camp on the Okavango Delta in Botwsana or traversing the Sabi Sands game reserve in South Africa . Note that most safari outfitters will provide travelers with an itemized packing list, so check with yours about specifics (as well as any vaccines or medications you might need) before you go.

Getting there

Most safari camps are only accessible by small propeller planes, which don’t allow hard-sided luggage. Pack everything in soft duffels that can be easily tossed into the back of the plane or the back of a Land Rover (weight limits are strict, too, so make sure you check with the outfitter before you go). Our advice: bring along some low-tech entertainment and have your camera handy for the views. Go Pro's Hero 9 has built-in tech to help keep any footage you shoot looking steady, making it perfect for bumpy rides.

On a game drive

Specialists disagree on the details, but you’re generally advised to avoid red and white clothing (as well as anything Day-Glo) while on game drives because it can attract insects or make you more visible to certain animals. Instead, go for clothing in shades of khaki, brown, and olive, which help you to blend in with the environment and hide dust and dirt, and pair it with some sneakers with a decent tread (on most safaris, you don’t need serious hiking boots). You’ll also want to pack plenty of layers since it can be chilly in the early morning, and blazing hot a few hours later. Don't forget a hat to help keep your skin protected under the harsh midday sun.

Around camp

You’ll want casual, cozy clothes to wear while you’re lounging around camp in between your daily excursions. A durable sandal with some grip will work just fine, and don’t forget a bathing suit —many lodges or tented camps have gorgeous pools.

Safari chic dinner

Some travelers like to have a more dressed-up option for cocktail hour and dinner back at camp—think flowy, breezy dresses, flats that can withstand a little dust, and a warm scarf to wrap yourself up in. Jumpsuits are a great option since it eliminates having to pack both tops and bottoms for evenings. In terms of accessories, leave any really blingy jewelry at home and opt for a more simple, pared down look.

One of the most challenging things when planning a safari is what to wear…how do I look cute on safari while still choosing practical clothing? I spent weeks researching what to wear and how to prepare, only to realize that looking cute on safari is no easy feat. It’s a challenge to balance comfort, practicality, and style, especially when you’re going on a rugged adventure in the wild. But fear not, fellow fashion-conscious travelers, because with the right tips and tricks, you can look chic AND be prepared on your next safari!

In this post, I’ll share my best advice on what to wear on safari for women and pass along plenty of cute outfit ideas for both day and night. Whether you’re planning a luxury safari or a more budget-friendly trip, these tips will help you pack the perfect safari wardrobe. So, let’s get started and make sure you’re ready to slay on your next safari adventure (while still being comfortable!)

This post may contain affiliate links.

1. What to Wear on Safari for Women: Packing List

I’ll give you a quick packing list on what to wear on safari for women and then give you plenty of tips and outfit inspiration below! Here are some essentials to include on your packing list:

  • Lightweight Pants
  • Long-sleeve tops (bonus points if they have UPF protection)
  • Tanks/ T-shirts to wear under your long-sleeves
  • Trail runners (or some kind of sturdy closed-toed shoe)
  • Accessories (bandana, scarf, hair scarf)

What to wear on safari for women: olive green pants, khaki shirt, and sun hat.

2. Choose Neutral Colors

When it comes to what to wear on safari for women, neutral colors are your best bet. Avoid bright colors, which can attract unwanted attention from animals and make it more difficult to blend in with your surroundings. Stick to earth tones like khaki, light grey, light blue, and olive green. The good news is these colors all hide dirt pretty well and safaris can get quite dusty. I include a ton of example outfits in my post for inspiration, so keep on scrolling!

I would definitely avoid bright blue and black, as these colors attract tsetse flies. Also avoid camouflage in some countries since it is designated for military use.

3. Pick Clothing Made of Breathable Fabric

When packing for a safari, it’s super important to prioritize comfort. The African sun can be intense, and the dust can be a lot to handle. Go for lightweight, breathable fabrics that will keep you cool and dry. Avoid anything too tight or restrictive, as you’ll want to be able to move easily in your clothes (and lounge in your safari vehicle). On some days, we spent 12 hours bouncing around on safari, so I was incredibly grateful for my comfy attire!

4. Footwear for Safari

While you may be spending most of your time in a vehicle during game drives, you’ll still need a sturdy and comfortable pair of shoes for walking around camp, any guided walks, and bathroom breaks during game drives. Trail runners are a great choice for safari because they offer excellent support, traction, and durability. The uneven ground, animal poo, and prickly bushes can make walking a challenge, so it’s important to have shoes that can handle the terrain. Plus, trail runners are relatively lightweight, making them a comfortable choice for long days in the bush. We mostly stayed in the vehicle, but even for quick bathroom breaks, I definitely preferred sturdy closed-toed shoes.

5. Bring a Hat & Sunglasses

Sun protection is crucial on a safari, and a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses are essential. Choose a hat with a wide brim that will protect your face and neck from the sun, and sunglasses with polarized lenses that will reduce glare and help you spot wildlife. When planning out what to wear on safari for women, both of these items are must-haves. Plus, how cute is this hat?

6. How to Look Cute on Safari

Who says you can’t look cute on safari? While comfort should be your top priority, there’s no reason you can’t add some style to your safari attire. Accessories are a great way to add some personality to your outfit. Bring a hair scarf or a pair of earrings to dress up a simple outfit in the evening.

For the daytime, try a scarf or a bandana . A scarf comes in handy keeping you warm on chilly mornings. Plus, bandanas are great for protecting your neck from the sun and keeping dirt out of your face during particularly dusty drives! Go for a lightweight and breathable fabric, and choose a neutral color or pattern that complements your outfits.

7. Consider Wearing a Sports Bra

Safari vehicles are incredibly bumpy, and the last thing you want is to be bouncing around in an unsupportive bra. Not only will a sports bra keep you comfortable on your off-road adventure, but it will also provide support during any walks or hikes you may take. Plus, if you’re in a hot climate, a sports bra made of moisture-wicking material can help keep you cool and dry. When considering what to wear on safari for women, this is an absolute must-have.

8. Dress in Layers

Temperatures can vary greatly throughout the day on a safari, so it’s important to dress in layers. Start with a lightweight base layer, such as a moisture-wicking tank top or t-shirt, and add a long-sleeved shirt on top. Bring a lightweight jacket or fleece for cooler mornings and evenings, and a hat and scarf for sun protection.

For me, it was much cooler than expected in the mornings, so I’d also recommend packing a beanie or something to keep your ears warm. Fortunately, this doesn’t take up much room in your luggage, and it keeps you nice and toasty!

On the other hand, it can get pretty warm during the day. If you feel the heat, you may want to invest in zip-off pants or pack a spare pair of shorts in your bag. However, depending on how bad the bugs are and if you are getting out of the vehicle and doing any walking, you may want to keep those long pants on all the time despite the heat. I only wore shorts a few times – mostly around camp and for short drives during the day when I knew we would be staying in the vehicle.

9. Pack a Swimsuit

Many safari lodges have pools, so it’s a good idea to pack a swimsuit. You’ll be able to cool off after a hot day on safari and relax in the pool. This is an absolute must-pack on your list of what to wear on safari for women (if you have a pool). If you don’t have a pool, you can probably take a miss on the swimsuit because trust me…you do not want to jump in any watering holes on the Serengeti. You never know where a family of angry hippos may be lurking beneath the surface!

10. Prepare for Rain

Even if you’re traveling during the dry season, it’s always a good idea to bring a rain jacket on safari. Weather can be unpredictable, and a sudden rain shower can leave you feeling pretty soggy. Plus, a rain jacket can also double as a windbreaker on cooler mornings or evenings. On some of the super chilly mornings, I definitely doubled up with my fleece and rain jacket just to cut down on the wind.

Pick a lightweight and packable rain jacket, so you can easily stow it in your backpack during game drives. Our safari vehicle had rain jackets available, but I’d recommend bringing one just in case. I actually ended up using the rain jacket much more than expected…the Serengeti had a surprising amount of downpours in September! A rain jacket definitely ranks high on my list for what to wear on safari for women.

11. What to Wear in the Evening

This was one of my biggest questions…do people dress up in the evening on safari? Do I need to bring a different wardrobe? I’m here to answer all of your burning questions on safari eveningwear. The answer? You can wear the exact same thing that you do during the day – though you may want to switch it out for a clean version! Since there are pretty strict baggage allowance requirements on bush planes, this was definitely a relief for me to hear. Deciding what to wear on safari for women is already difficult enough before trying to plan out eveningwear!

My recommendation? Throw on a clean outfit after safari that you can wear on your next day’s adventure. Switch up your footwear for sandals instead of hiking shoes. Bring one dress if you’d like to look pretty one evening, and bring a few accessories to mix it up. I brought a scarf, a pair of earrings, and a couple hair scarves to make myself feel a little more girly some of the evenings. The good news is – it is pretty chill and nobody is going to be judging what you’re wearing!

The one caveat I’d add is that if you are staying in a super high-end lodge, I’d check in and see if there are any requirements. The photo above is from a 5-star lodge, and you can clearly see that my version of “dressing for dinner” is pretty low-key.

12. What NOT to Wear on Safari

While jumpsuits may be on-trend and super cute, they’re not the best choice for a safari. Jumpsuits can be difficult to get in and out of quickly, which is a problem if you need to use the bathroom during a game drive. Imagine having to literally take off the majority of your clothing while standing behind a termite mound (the most common place to use the bathroom) on the Serengeti, and you’ll see why this is a very serious recommendation. Hard pass! Instead, opt for separates for maximum comfort and ease of movement.

Finally, remember that a safari is an adventure, so don’t be afraid to dress for the occasion. Choose clothes that make you feel comfortable and confident, and don’t be afraid to add a touch of style. After all, you never know what kind of epic photos you’ll be taking on your safari!

What To Wear On Safari

What clothes to pack for your safari.

The type of safari clothing you decide to pack for your safari will depend on a number of things, including the destination, time of year and what type of safari you’re going on. However, there are a number of universal principles when it comes to deciding what to wear on safari.

Click below to go straight to the most relevant section, or scroll down to read the full safari clothing article:

Safari wear basics

What’s the best colour to wear on safari.

The basic rule of suitable colours for safari clothes is to go neutral . When trying to spot wildlife you’ll have the best chance if you blend in as much as possible with your surroundings, and bright colours will make you conspicuous to animals – particularly if you’re on a walking safari .

Ideal colours for safari wear are natural, such as:

  • Light Browns

Whilst any other neutral colours are fine too, there are a number of colours you should definitely make sure you don’t wear on safari wear:

Camouflage clothing is a big no-no, and in some African countries it’s actually illegal , so leave the camouflage safari clothing at home!

White and very pale coloured clothes show up the dust, so are best kept for evening wear.

Dark blue and black colours attract insects and mosquitos, which can carry malaria, yellow fever and dengue fever – some of the most serious health risks you might encounter on safari.

Ideal safari clothing material

The ideal material for safari clothing is something that’s lightweight & breathable and makes minimal noise whilst you’re moving. Simple cotton works best for safari shirts and trousers, though there are increasing numbers of quality modern man-made materials that work just as well as cotton and are even more durable.

Think layers for safari wear

Packing lightweight safari wear has the benefit of enabling you to layer up or down according to need. Africa is a continent of extremes – it can be extremely cold through the night into the early morning and swelteringly hot by the middle of the day.

As such it’s a good idea to take multiple layers of safari clothing so you can add and remove layers as required – including at least one warm layer like a sweatshirt, fleece, or safari jacket . This is particularly important if you’re going to be doing any early morning safaris in an open-sided vehicle (though your lodge will likely provide blankets for early morning game drives).

What to wear on safari – the essentials

When it comes to safari clothing less is more, and most camps and lodges have same-day laundry services, so bear this in mind before packing a huge suitcase full of safari clothes! At a minimum you will need:

Safari shirts

A few comfortable long-sleeved shirts and long-sleeved t-shirts. Long-sleeved safari shirts have the advantage of offering protection from the sun and insects, but also being able to roll the sleeves up if it gets too hot.

Shirts with a collar to protect the neck from the harsh sun are advisable, as are shirts with pockets to store your bits and pieces (see our article on top things to take on safari if you’re after useful things to fill your pockets with!).

Our favourite men’s safari shirts:

[amazon box=”B07427LJG9,B00EO32DCW,B06XD5V6D9″ grid=”3″]

Our favourite women’s safari shirts:

[amazon box=”B0868LGBCY,B07115T7MB,B07M8BCYYK” grid=”3″]

Trousers & shorts

A pair of comfortable long trousers or two, and a pair of shorts. Combat style trousers and shorts are ideal safari gear as they have several pockets, great for storing compact binoculars, suncream, camera etc.

Long trousers have the benefit of keeping you warm and protecting you from the sun in the day and mosquito bites on evening and night game drives. Here are some good safari trouser options:

[amazon box=”B01D60XBVK,B08DTW3F7W,B00DQ5244G” grid=”3″]

The type of footwear required to wear on safari really depends on what type of safari you’re planning. For a standard game drive or self-drive safaris , special safari footwear isn’t necessary. You’ll be climbing in and out of safari jeeps and maybe a little walking around the bush, so comfortable trainers will work fine.

For more specialist safaris such as gorilla trekking  you’ll be trudging through thick, uneven rainforest, so rugged Gortex boots are ideal. For any kind of walking safari, it’s advisable to have some sort of hiking boots that cover your ankles – for protection from both bush and snakes. It’s also worth considering a small investment in some hiking specialist insoles to provide extra comfort.

[amazon box=”B0779Q9G9B,B081P5WBQV,B01HFPP89A” grid=”3″]

Whilst not essential safari wear, any hat or cap is better than none at all. It will give you protection from the sun, and also shield your eyes from the glare – meaning potentially better wildlife spotting opportunities. The ideal hat is a wide-brimmed safari hat to offer maximum protection.

Read our take here on the very best safari hats , or check out these great options from Amazon:

[amazon box=”B06XH2JSK7,B072J5JS25,B07K447FF5″ grid=”3″]

The African sun can offer a surprising amount of harsh glare, so you won’t want to forget sunglasses as part of your safari attire. A pair of polarized wrap-around sunglasses will give you protection from both the glare and the dust that’s a feature of many game drives, meaning more chance of spotting that hiding leopard!

Evening wear

When considering evening safari wear, bear in mind that the days of jackets and ties at the dinner table are long gone. Most safari lodges have relaxed dress codes for dinner so there’s no need to take any formal safari clothes with you.

You’ll want to wash and change after a hard and dusty day’s game viewing, but a pair of jeans or trousers and a long-sleeved shirt will suffice, perhaps along with a warm fleece or safari jacket to ward off the night-time chill. Light colours are recommended for evenings so you don’t attract mosquitoes.

Be sure to check out whether your lodge has a swimming pool and if so, don’t forget to pack some safari-chic swimwear. A dip between game drives during the middle of the day is a great way to contemplate your wildlife viewings (past and future!) whilst working the tan.

What not to wear on safari

The above information should give you a good overview of what safari clothes to take with you, but just in case you’re still in any doubt, here’s a list of the clothes you should absolutely not take with you on safari:

A camouflage safari outfit .  In a number of African countries, you can actually be arrested for wearing army-style camouflage clothes that could be confused with military wear. Best to avoid at all costs.

Overly thick fleeces and jackets . Temperatures on safari change depending on the time of day, where you are, and what altitude you’re at… so layered clothing is ideal to add or remove as the temperature requires.

Heavy walking boots . Unless you’re planning to do some serious hiking a pair of trainers will do for walking around camp and hopping in and out of your jeep.

Black and blue clothing . East Africa is home to the tsetse fly which is attracted to dark colors and packs a nasty bite – best avoided by wearing lighter colours.

Bright clothing. Don’t draw attention to yourself if you want the best chance of spotting wildlife .

Tuxedos & ballgowns. Yes, people do! Most safari lodges have a very relaxed dress code for dinner, and whilst you will want to wash and change after a hard day game viewing you won’t need to dress over-formally for any evening activities.

And one last ‘don’t do’ tip for packing your safari wear:

Packing it all in one large suitcase . Limit the risk of all of your luggage going missing or being stolen on the flight by packing some essentials – and one safari outfit – in your hand luggage.

What To Wear On Safari 8

An item I found extremely useful for gamedrives in open vehicles during winter is my large olive rain poncho. It works fine as a wind spiele and easily fits over the extra set of blankets you might wrap around you.

Excellent idea Birgit, I’ve never used a poncho, but I’d imagine they’re ideal for game drives – lightweight, and quick and easy to get on and off according to the weather.

Sounds like a great idea Birgit. We’ve been on a few high-end safaris where they’ve provided ponchos on bad weather game drives… but taking your own means you’ll be sure to stay dry!

What to Wear on Safari • Ultimate Safari Outfit Packing List

Woman smiling and walking toward the camera while walking through the Serengeti on safari

You’ve booked your dream trip; an African safari. And now, the slight panic sets in because… what do you wear on safari? You’ve seen in documentaries people in head to toe tan, with dirt-covered boots and mosquito nets, but is actually what the ideal safari outfit looks like? I’m going to help you put together multiple safari outfit ideas so that you are dressed in a safe, functional, and maybe even cute way for this safari trip! So settle in and let’s look at some Africa safari outfits.

I specifically went to Tanzania for my 7-day safari, but these rules for a recommended safari outfit are pretty applicable to almost any safari in Africa (aside from gorilla trekking).

Rules for what to wear on safari.

And before we get started,  I may receive commission  if you make a purchase from some of the links in this list. However I promise I would never recommend something to you that I didn’t personally love. So these items are all vetted through yours truly and are 100% perfect for a safari outfit.

Colors Matter in Safari Outfits

The first time I typed “what to wear on Safari” in Google was because I wanted to know what colors and patterns I could get away with on my first safari. Turns out, not many! You see mostly earth tones from guides and naturalists because that’s what you need to wear to not stick out to the wildlife.

Here are some no go safari outfit colors:

  • Don’t wear black or dark blue because these colors attract tsetse flies
  • Don’t wear white, it doesn’t blend with any terrain
  • Avoid loud colors and patterns for the same reason as white
  • Avoid camouflage, this is reserved for military only

What colors are good to wear on safari?

  • Light earth tones; tans, browns, forest greens, and colors in that same vein
  • Either solid print or very minimal patterns aregoing to be ideal for your safari outfit

Dress in Light Fabrics and Layers

The mornings and evenings can be cool with warmer to hot afternoons, so you’ll definitely want to pack safari outfits that can be layered. It’s easiest to layer light fabrics, and you’ll definitely want things that are breathable so you don’t overheat. A safari outfit made of sweat-tastic fabrics is no good!

What fabrics to wear on safari?

  • Anything lightweight and breathable

You’re going to be traveling between lodges or camps almost every day on your African safari, and you’re not going to want to be packing up a ton of clothes every time. So, I HIGHLY recommend you pack 2 or 3 outfits that you can mix and match items between.

I also packed using my Peak Design backpack and the Away Bigger Carry-On luggage, and these were easy to move with every day.

Keep Your Safari Outfits Simple

I know we’re all sort of convinced from movies we need these extravagant safari outfits, but I promise simple is better here. Form and function over fashion for sure; you’re going to be getting in and out of vehicles, standing up and down all day every day for however many days you’re on safari. But the best thing about some of my outfit recommendations below is that they’re still cute!

Wear Long Sleeves and Pants

You’re going to want to protect yourself from the sun, the dirt/dust, and the elements, so I highly recommend wearing pants and for one of the layers of your safari outfit to be a long sleeve shirt of some sort. Not every layer needs to be long sleeves, but at least one.

Comfortable Shoes

If you’re not doing any sort of hiking or trekking on safari, your shoes won’t really matter as much. Our safari consisted of game drives for the most part, so I really just recommend something comfortable and neutral in color. This can be hiking boots or a sneaker; whichever would work.

But you will want something that isn’t going to get ruined by a little mud. Depending on what time of year you go on safari you may be walking in a little bit of mud at your hotel/camp site, lunch spot, or any other stops you make along the way.

Bring a Raincoat

Again, because of the weather I highly recommend a raincoat for your safari outfit. Because not only is it a light jacket that acts as a great outer layer should you need it, it’s also great in case you’re going on safari during the shoulder or rainier seasons.

Safari Outfit Ideas

Looking for outfit ideas and inspiration for what to wear on safari? I’ve got you. Here are the outfits I wore during my safari:

Safari Outfit Idea 1 • Wayre

African Safari Outfit Idea 3 • Patagonia

This romper/jumpsuit was amazing. It was SUPER lightweight and very cute. I loved it as a cuter safari outfit, but as always remember that when wearing a jumpsuit you basically have to completely disrobe to use the restroom. I didn’t find it much trouble, but important to keep in mind!

  • Patagonia button up shirt
  • Patagonia jumpsuit/romper

Safari Outfit Inspiration 4 • Patagonia + Amazon

Woman standing on a rock looking out to the Serengeti

This button up shirt was an absolute must and I wore it multiple times in multiple ways. I loved it. And I also paired it with these Amazon pants in addition to the previously mentioned jumpsuit.

  • Patagonia shirt
  • Amazon crop
  • Amazon pants

What to Wear On Safari • Shoe Ideas

Like I mentioned before, I would just go with comfort and color preference here. Find something earth toned that’s comfortable to wear. If you’re in the jeep all day for your safari, this won’t matter as much, but I would definitely steer clear of black and dark blue for the tsetse flies I mentioned before. And if you go with white, pick a shoe that is easy to clean mud and dirt off of.

  • Baabuk Sky Wooler in Oatmeal – these are the sneakers I wore
  • My all-time favorite hiking boots – Timberland Chocorua Trail Boot
  • My all-time favorite white sneaker (and they’re leather so you can clean them) – Adidas Stan Smiths

So there you go, all the rules I learned around what to wear on safari. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out . To learn more about my safari, definitely follow me on socials, because I’ve got TikTok playlists and Instagram highlights saved! I hope you have the absolute time of your life on safari, I know I did!

Safari Outfits Ideas

Whether you’re going to the Australian outback, the Sahara desert, or to your sister-in-law’s themed party, knowing a few solid safari outfit ideas can only benefit you.

So, in this article, I’m going to teach you how to put together some safari outfits—that way you’ll look less like a tourist and more like a tour guide.

What Makes Up A Safari Outfit?

Safari Outfits Ideas

Safari outfit ideas are largely based on the climate that you’ll be exploring. Since most safaris take place in extremely warm or humid locations, you’ll want to consider wearing khaki items .

That’s because the material doesn’t attract too much sunlight so it won’t make you overheat.

Other pieces you may want to include in your safari outfit ideas are:

  • Pith helmets
  • Safari boots
  • Safari hats
  • Bush jackets
  • Khaki shorts

History Of Safaris

Safari Outfits Ideas

Before I tell give you more safari outfit ideas, let’s learn about the history of safaris. 

The first documented safari, or what we would call a safari, was in 1836 . William Cornwallis Harris, an English hunter, began the practice as a way to observe flora, fauna, and animals from a peaceful distance.

The goal was not to interact with the wildlife (shocking, given Harris’ hunting proficiency) but to study it.

Harris’ methodology involved getting up early, lots of movement throughout the day to see as many of the animals as possible, and a nightly dinner to review everything he and his fellow safari men saw that day.

This format is still used today but it’s far from the only one. For example, Newland & Tarlton Ltd. invented luxury tented safaris , which is another variation that’s safer for the participants while costing them much more.

What Are Some Popular Safari Outfit Ideas?

Safari Outfits Ideas

Safari outfit ideas tend to be pretty similar since they usually consist of a combination of athletic wear and relaxed-fitting khaki clothing.

You’ll often find that the outfits are pretty uniform when it comes to color because they’re built to repel sunlight . This is the case whether you’re looking for safari outfit men’s looks or safari outfit women’s styles.

Safari Outfits Ideas

My first safari outfit idea involves probably the darkest colors I’d recommend wearing if you’re going on an actual safari. However, if you want a safari-theme outfit for a party then this is a great look. 

It has everything you could want in a safari outfit—the baggy fits, earthy tones, and relaxed materials. However, the ensemble has a distinctive fashionista’s flair.

Safari Outfits Ideas

This is a much more conventional safari guide outfit that’d actually serve you well in the field. I adore the one-piece that retains its shape thanks to the belt. However, this look is all about the accessories.

Of course, you’ll want your accessories to be functional when you’re on a safari expedition because you don’t want to lug around unnecessary weight.

So keep that in mind when thinking about safari outfit ideas. This outfit shows how you can add a few personal touches to your fit without ruining your mobility.

The hat and sunglasses are both essential as you’ll be out in the sun for long periods of time. They’ll protect you from UV rays that could harm your skin and tire you out.

Yet it’s the bag that I’m most impressed by because it’s a stylish way to carry everything you need in a format that’s different than a backpack.

Fashion Tips To Avoid With Safari Outfits

Safari Outfits Ideas

Here are the things you’ll want to avoid when putting together your safari outfit ideas.

  • Don’t wear accessories unless you need them to survive. Of course, I’m being a bit melodramatic, but safaris aren’t the place for heavy jewelry or dangly earrings.
  • Stay away from black as it’ll attract too much sunlight and you’ll likely overheat .
  • Don’t wear slip-on shoes , high heels, or other footwear that doesn’t fit most safari outfit ideas’ standard aesthetic.

What to wear on an African safari

Apart from looking stylish in your Insta posts, you want your safari outfits to work for you in other ways, namely protecting you from the elements and insects. We discuss what to wear, as well as reveal the surprising reason why blue is no-go on safari.

The 5 basics of a good safari outfit

No matter where or when you go on a safari, these are the five principles we suggest you use to guide your safari wardrobe:

1. Wear long sleeves and pants

Long pants and long-sleeved tops keep your skin covered and so protect you from the cold and wind, sun, and insect bites. While many places in Africa can get really hot, remember that some can also get downright chilly! This is especially true of many inland places when you're out on safari early in the morning or at night.

Long pants are especially useful if you're going on a walking safari or a game drive where you're allowed to sometimes exit the vehicle. This is because they help to protect your legs from being scratched or bitten.

Long pants help protect your legs from becoming scratched or bitten

2. Choose neutral and earthy colours

The idea on a safari is that you spot wild animals – not that they spot you. So you want to blend in with the environment as much as possible to avoid drawing unnecessary attention to yourself. This is especially true for cycling or walking safaris, where there's the chance to get really close to certain animals.

Avoid camouflage clothing, as some African nations reserve that for the military. But good colour choices include earthy tones and neutrals like brown, khaki and grey. You probably want to avoid white, cream and other light colours as they'll show up any dust and dirt. Black isn't great for keeping you cool, and blue can actually attract tsetse flies!

We recommend you not wear white clothes on a safari drive as the roads can be really dusty

3. Wear closed shoes

Closed shoes are especially important if you're going on one of the kinds of safari where you get out of the vehicle, like on a walking safari. The ground can be uneven, thorny, and there are snakes and other critters – so please protect your feet. Good, worn-in hiking boots, worn with hiking socks, are best for walking safaris. Some even like to wear gaiters on safari walks to ensure they won't suffer a snake bite.

4. Bring a proper sunhat

You need to wear a sunhat on safari in order to prevent burning and also possibly heatstroke. A hat with a full brim is far better than a sports cap as it protects the back of your neck in addition to your face. A crown-less peak or visor isn't a great idea as your head can burn badly, especially if you have a parting or some hair thinning or balding.

Safari vehicle and passengers in Africa

Safari vehicles vary widely, but often you're highly exposed to the sun and elements

5. Avoid strong perfume or cologne

You don't want the wildlife to move away from you because they're bothered by your foreign-smelling perfume or cologne. Rather let the animals – and your fellow safari-goers – enjoy the smell of the great outdoors. (That said, please don't refrain from applying your morning deodorant – nobody is advocating for that!)

Protection from the cold

Game drives often happen early in the morning and around sundown, as this is a good time to see the animals since they like to move about and hunt in the cooler parts of the day. Depending on your location and the time of the year, these morning and evening game drives can be chilly, even downright cold.

On morning and evening game drives you want to wear:

  • A warm fleece
  • Socks and closed shoes

If you're doing a rare night-time safari, then the cold can be an even more pressing issue. Don't be surprised if your safari guide hands out blankets.

Some parks allow night-time safaris, which are very special but can also be really cold!

Convertible pants are a great safari clothing choice as you can remove the lower legs when you get hot.

We recommend stashing a rainproof jacket in your backpack or the vehicle – even if it's a hot, cloudless day – just to be safe. The weather can turn, and you don't want the cold or wet ruining your adventure.

If you're driving in an open vehicle, a rainproof jacket is also a good idea

Protection from heat and sunburn

Many African safaris take place in really hot regions, and the sun can be strong. Humidity can also be intense. It's vital that you cover up to avoid sunburn. And this goes for cloudy days too – you can 100% burn even through cloud cover.

When you go an African safari, you want to protect yourself from the heat and sunburn by wearing:

  • A loose-fitting, long-sleeved top (you can always roll up the sleeves if you get too hot)
  • A wide-brimmed hat that covers your face and neck (even better is a hat made from material specially designed to protect you from UV rays)

These two know their stuff – brimmed hats, shades, and earth-coloured clothes that keep their skin covered up

We recommend still wearing closed shoes even if doing a midday safari drive. This will protect your feet from sunburn. But if you do choose sandals, please be sure to put sunscreen on your feet – folks often forget to protect the skin on the top of their feet.

Apart from protecting your skin, be sure to combat the heat by bringing along plenty of water, especially in humid regions where one sweats a lot.

Note that you want a sunscreen that protects you from both UVA and UVB rays. Many African safaris take place near to the Equator, where the sun is fierce. So protect your exposed skin with a quality sunblock. And don't forget the backs of your hands!

Sunglasses are also a great asset on an African safari.

You should wear sunblock on both cloudless and cloudy days

Protection from insects

When going on an African safari, the one kind of wildlife you're not interested in meeting: the local insects. Your safari wardrobe needs to bear these critters in mind not only from a comfort point of view, but also from a safety one.

One of the key reasons for recommending long-sleeved tops, long pants and closed shoes is that they protect you from insect bites. And while some insect bites are just a nuisance, we especially have mosquitoes in mind. Many African safaris take place in malaria zones. So avoiding mozzie bites is of great importance.

Another insect you really don't want biting you is the tsetse fly, which transmits the bacterial disease that causes sleeping sickness. They're attracted by the colour blue, so avoid wearing blue on safari. Bright blue in particular is alluring to them.

Avoid blue clothing while on safari in Africa, as this colour attracts tsetse flies.

The three primary ways to avoid insect bites while out on safari are:

  • Covering up
  • Using an insect repellent (lotion or spray on)
  • Taking anti-malaria medication

At night, you should ideally also sleep under a mosquito net. Any establishment worth their salt will have these as standard in bedrooms. But it could be worth checking up on this before you book your accommodation.

Is it time to pack your safari-smart clothing and head on over to Africa for a safari??

And there you have it! You now know what to pack for an African safari to be both safe and comfortable. How you style it all is up to you. 😎

What to Wear on Safari: Quick Guide to Safari Colours

What to Wear on Safari: Quick Guide to Safari Colours

One way to celebrate safari is by wearing made-for-purpose safari clothing in Africa.

If you have booked your trip to Africa, how you should dress for a safari will be an important part of your travel plan. When planning what to wear on an African safari, colour is one of the most important considerations. This quick guide to safari colours should assist with what to wear on safari.

SAFARI PACKING TIPS: COLOUR

What colour should you wear on safari? We recommend neutral safari clothing for your African travels. This includes shades of khaki, brown, beige/tan, and green. These colours blend in well with the bush and are best-suited to safari travel for a few important reasons.

WHY DOES THE COLOUR OF YOUR SAFARI CLOTHES MATTER?

Game-viewing By blending in with your surroundings, you enhance your game-viewing. Watching wildlife behaving naturally is the best way to see Africa’s spectacular fauna. The colour of your clothing can potentially scare off or disturb your sighting – something you want to avoid.

Activities Don’t miss the chance to experience the bush in as many ways as possible. For game drives and self-drives, dress the part to make the most of any opportunity to go on a short walk. For walking safaris and other active safaris , the colour of your clothing matters for your wildlife encounters and can contribute to the quality of your sightings and, in some cases, your safety.

Made for safari Exploring the bush can be gloriously dusty and dirty. Shades of khaki have long been worn by safari-goers for not showing up dirt as easily as other colours.

When in Africa One way to celebrate safari is by wearing made-for-purpose safari clothing in Africa. With fashionable safari clothes for women and men always being in style, you can add a touch of safari to your wardrobe back home too.

WHAT COLOURS SHOULDN'T YOU WEAR ON SAFARI?

Blue and black Black and blue stand out in the bush, but there is another reason to avoid wearing these colours on safari. If you are travelling to an area with tsetse flies, this attracts the dreaded fly – an insect with a painful bite – so much so that fly traps are made from blue and black fabric.

Can you wear white on safari? White stands out more than any other colour in the African bush and so isn’t suitable for safari activities. That said, slipping into a white shirt for dinner in the evening is a great feeling. Shop men's and women's white shirts .
