Before Frank Wolff settled into his job as a tour guide and steamboat operator in the Amazon Jungle, he was actually an ice cream boat driver. A lot of people didn’t catch that in the movie, but Frank used to trawl all around the river to catch the freshest ice creams. He would catch nice big chocolate ice creams, vanilla, and yes, even Neapolitan!

After he had a few in his coolers, he would turn on that friendly ice cream boat jingle and drive through all the native neighborhoods. The kids just loved it! They would come running from down the block with their allowances in hand, and Frank would always be there with the rocky road or caramel that they wanted. Unfortunately, his business was getting too big and he was attracting too much attention to his local area, which is why he eventually jumped ship and started up his Amazon River tour guide business. But next time you go for a tour on Frank’s boat, be sure to ask if has a couple of fresh-caught ice creams around!

Any Amazon boat trip would be a blast, but even more when you get to cosplay as the tour guide himself! The move-accurate outfit has all the same colors as Frank’s, complete with the red neck scarf and the yellow-colored suspenders. Travel like the locals do, in comfort and style in this Jungle Cruise Men’s Deluxe Frank Costume.

Adios, Amazon

Even if you don’t take this costume deep into one of the most wild, dangerous places on Earth to open an ice cream business, we know you’ll be satisfied with it. Whatever you are doing, you will look great, just like Frank Wolff!

Dress Up For A Jungle Safari Like A Pro!

We all know the essentials that need to be carried to a jungle safari. Well, almost all of us. For the unaware, here:  Planning To Go Wild? Here’s Everything You Need To Pack For A Jungle Safari Adventure!  We’ve got a low-down of everything you should wear to a jungle safari!

While on a jungle safari, you need to go back to the basics and choose comfort over fashion . Why? Because sitting in a jeep for 6 hours straight, in the same position can be a little tiring. Just a little.

Let’s start from the top. It is advisable to tie your tresses up in a ponytail or a bun or even a cute braid, and even if you don’t, 15 minutes into the drive, you will do it automatically. Yes, it is that breezy. If you plan to leave your hair open, make sure you have a hat/cap to keep it in place.

Tees Or Blouses?

Next up, upper body clothing. Go for a tee that isn’t too tight and gives your skin ample breathing space. Full sleeves t-shirts are preferable as you can get exposed to insect bites. But, it tends to get hotter as the day goes by, so go for sleeveless ones and carry a light jacket! Easy-peasy.

Shorts or Skirts?

For bottom wear, think track pants, cotton leggings or anything that allows you to sit like you would at home. Again, wearing shorts is up to you. People did tell me it is not a good idea, considering the ‘dangerous bites’ but I am back and alive, sans any wounds. So it is just a myth. Go ahead and show those legs if you want!

On one of the safaris, I wore dungarees and never felt more comfortable. Avoid jeans if you can or anything that requires you to wear a belt.

Before we move on to footwear, please remember to wear earthy hues , clothes that will help you camouflage with your surroundings. Green, beige, brown, orange, light pink shades etc, colours that are in sync with nature. You don’t want to appear too flashy and loud colours will expose you easily. The naturalists, guides, jeep everything will be green, so that gives you enough hint.

Apart from all of the above, shoes are where you have to strike all the brownie points. Of course, the absolute best would be to go for sneakers as they will keep you up and above. If for some reason you cannot arrange for one, flip flops or sandals also work.

99% of the time you will be sitting in the jeep but Taj Safaris will take you for a nice nature walk, so you cannot be strolling around in heels. Suede ones at that. Just please don’t. Also, God forbid if your jeep breaks down and you do have to walk in the jungle, that’s exactly when you will remember me.

Rest, keep your shades on, make Odomos your BFF and get ready to set fashion trends anyway.

Jungle Love Couple Costume: Zebra and Safari Tour Guide

First off found these pj’s than from there the ideas came to mind, and started looking for the rest of the accessories.

Best part was my daughter wanting to paint my face and boy did she have fun but the freakiest part and funniest on my end was i was going into character as she was doing the process.

Went to our club party and received applause and great compliments as i walked around to the tables. Judge as “The Most Original”

Had to get a coke through McDonalds, so we went through the drive through and the reaction on their faces were priceless as for the two males inside tried not to look our way. Longest time i waited for a coke but she finally got her co-worker to come to the window and she let out a scream and smiled saying thats real good.

It took 1 hr. to do and 1 1/2 hrs. to remove but was worth it.

What to Wear in the Amazon Rainforest: Your Jungle Clothing Packing List

March 12, 2023

Here’s my inside guide to jungle clothing and what you need to pack and wear in the Amazon rainforest. Download your free jungle clothes packing list here.

Packing for the Amazon Rainforest

The Reality

As far as travel goals go, visiting the Amazon rainforest has voyaged with me since the cartoons and dreams of childhood.

But it’s obviously not a cartoon.

Packing for the Amazon rainforest requires a little more thought than the usual jaunt. Although the place is a childhood travel dream, the jungle is real, humid, sticky and full of bugs that can cause serious trouble.

This is a good time to remind you to see a healthcare professional a good 6-8 weeks before you go to make sure you’re up to date with all vaccinations and medication.

Right, onto the jungle clothing. You will need…

Heads up! If you book or buy through the links on this page, we may well earn a commission at no extra cost to you. I also travelled to the rainforest on a press trip with Visit Brasil. Cheers and happy packing!

What to Wear in the Amazon Rainforest

To be honest, this guidance works just as well for what to wear in the rainforest, any rainforest. Jungle clothes are the same. So whether we’re talking about what to wear in the jungle or what to wear in the Amazon, it’s the same. Let’s go.

Long Tops and Trousers

Despite the humidity and heat, the best thing you can do is cover up. This protects you from bites, sunburn and scratches and all manner of nasty diseases.

Trouble is, most long sleeved tops and trousers make you feel too hot or stick to your skin with humidity and sweat (or glow, if we’re feeling fancy.)

You can buy specialist safari clothes that overcome these problems and, for once, I’d really recommend buying them instead of trying a DIY job.

Recommended Safari Tops

I love these safari shirts in khaki green and cream which you can order online. They’re quick dry, camouflage well so you don’t scare away the wildlife and they’re pretty robust from scratches. They’re even semi-tailored and flattering.

But, you will feel a bit daft wearing them at home around the supermarket.

Another option, is to wear a long sleeved workout top like this or just a simple white cotton blouse, although though this will stick to your skin more and crease during the flight. It may also turn see through with the humidity and, well, tropical sweat. You have been warned!

Recommended Safari Trousers

Finding trousers suitable for the Amazon rainforest is an easier task, since most summer hiking trousers (or trail pants) will do.

The kind that zip off to turn into shorts are very popular on jungle clothing packing lists but unless you really like the look of the shorts, it’s better to stick to the trousers-only options. The zip can become a bit uncomfortable and the whole point is to cover your skin anyway.

What I did find useful was plenty of side pockets: for bug spray, torches, tissues, maps, phone, all sorts. And you can clip water bottles and map holders to the hooks on the waistbands.

I really like these ultralight and durable walking trousers and these hiking trousers from Trespass with a more forgiving elasticated waistband.

You might also want to add these to your list of jungle clothes:

• Zip off hiking trousers or trail pants from Trespass
• Ultralight and durable hiking trousers in camouflage green

Hiking Socks

These are worth their weight in GOLD! I know it seems annoying paying for all these ugly clothes that you won’t wear in daily life but you can thank me later!

Decent hiking socks like these in merino wool, have vents built in to the fabric and reinforced areas where your skin will rub. They’re breathable and keep your feet cool.

Bear in mind, you’ll be in hot conditions while wearing boots. Hot feet make for hot everything else and it’s not pleasant.

• Shop for hiking socks on Amazon here.

Hiking Boots

You don’t need any special kind of hiking boots for the Amazon, but you will benefit from more than sneakers and trainers.

Good hiking boots should rise above your ankle to protect from sprains and breaks on slippery surfaces. They also last for years. My first pair that I bought when I was 18 climbed up to Macchu Picchu, Mt Kilimanjaro, Mr Fuji and more before giving up the ghost after a week of hiking the mountains of Austria.

• Shop for hiking boots on Amazon here.

Underwear as Jungle Clothing

Cotton underwear is more comfortable in hot and humid conditions. Just saying.

Also, some women find a sports bra more comfortable when hiking, so, ladies, have a think about that. You won’t need a high intensity bra, but a wireless, supportive cotton bra is a good idea.

A Travel Hat

It’ll be hot, plus tree sap and all sorts can drop on your head. Protect yourself from sunstroke with a decent travel hat.

When it comes to jungle clothing in the Amazon, straw hats that look gorgeous among the lavender fields of Provence don’t work so well in the jungle. Instead, you may as well embrace the inelegant jungle look and buy a travel hat like this one.

It’s foldable and crushable and has an adjustable strap for your chin. This keeps your hands free when you’re zipping along on a boat or paddling on a canoe.

• Buy the perfect jungle clothing hat for the Amazon on Amazon ;-)

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this yet (!) but there are bugs that bite in the Amazon rainforest. And some of the cities, come to that.

Stock up on bug spray or insect repellent and go for the ones with DEET in them. This isn’t the time for gentle, natural bug sprays that leave you susceptible to deadly diseases.

Deet it up!

You can also buy insect repellent clothes treatment but, honestly, I’ve not tried this and I’m not sure it’s necessary.

• Buy travel-sized bug spray with DEET on Amazon

Mosquito Net

Depending on your accommodation, you may need to bring a mosquito net with you to protect yourself while you sleep.

These are pretty easy to assemble and resemble a medieval princess bedroom if you squint and forget about the sweating. You can buy single or double nets and you hang them from the ceiling.

Nets are lightweight but they do add bulk to your luggage, so I wouldn’t bother if you’re only going to stay in top hotels.

• Buy a travel size mosquito net on Amazon here.

Plug-in Insect Repellent

Another good idea is to stock up on insect repellent pastilles that plug in to the main electricity supply. Again, these aren’t too heavy but they do take up more space. Pop a pastille in each night and it works like an air freshener to keep the bugs away.

There are other anti-bug measures like citronella candles and insect repellent coils but they don’t travel well.

• Buy a plug-in insect repellent for the rainforest here

It’s worth considering binoculars if you plan to go birdwatching or on safaris frequently. You can buy simple, inexpensive travel binoculars like this or big night vision binocular like this.

Most reputable amazon tours or safari walks will have their own, though. So, don’t worry about it too much.

Lightweight Rain Jacket

It’s called the rainforest for a reason. Even if you don’t mind getting wet in the heat, you may wish to protect any expensive cameras or smartphones you have with you.

• Shop for an ultra lightweight rain jacket here.

Hand Sanitizer

A tiny bottle of hand sanitizer will do – no need to bring masses.

• Travel size hand sanitizer with clip to keep your hands free.

Cotton Pyjamas

This might seem a little odd but it’s still wise to protect your skin from biting insects as much as possible while you sleep. Cotton is nice and breathable and won’t let you get too hot.

• Shop for long length cotton pyjamas on Amazon here.

Top tip for jungle clothes at night

Pull your socks over your pyjama trousers at night to prevent bugs from crawling in…

Head to the Amazon rainforest and you’ll likely be hiking, canoeing, birdwatching and otherwise on the go. So you’ll need a suitable bag to carry your essentials. Does this count as jungle clothing? When you genuinely need this much stuff, I think so!

What makes a day pack suitable for the Amazon rainforest? Ideally, it will have:

• An internal zipped compartment for hotel keys and phone
• An outer zipped compartment for travel size insect repellent, sunscreen, hand sanitizer and wet wipes or tissues.
• A main compartment
• A side pocket for your water bottle

• Where to stay – Juma Ecolodge is 3 hours from Manaus in Brazil, low on mosquitoes and high on sustainable adventure. Highly recommended.
