- You should not waste your money buying clothes for your safari. The best safari outfit is likely to already be in your wardrobe. In this video, I talk about what you should wear to an African safari.
I'm sorry the video and sound are out of sync. The content is solid so listen along and assume its like those foreign films that have an English translator 😄.
Thank you so much for your packing tips for safari. So soo useful. I was thinking I need to buy hiking boots, but glad to know can just wear sneakers! Its soo good to know to pack lightweight hoodie/fleece - really helpful. Thanks so much. Im looking forward to my safari trip!!
Thank you!
Best advice - thank you so much 🤗🌷
Thank you. I can not wait for our trip in June.
so glad I found your channel, Antony! Your blog is very helpful too especially for safari beginners like myself. Looking into your tours..
Thank you. it's very helpful. 👍
This is definitely a very helpful video.
This was great! Straight to the point!
Thank you! I’ll be there in August and was struggling on how to dress for the climate. This is really helpful!
I luv u guys very useful informations very informative making things really simple
Thank you! I don’t have a lot of those things, and I typically wear super bright clothes, so…I’ve been doing some shopping! 😂
Thank you so much for your wonderful advice. I appreciate your information. Enjoy watching your videos.
Awesome advice. If travelling internationally and taking carry on, from Australia you have 7-10kilos available 😀. Your personal recommendations are excellent. You will not impress elephants, lions or hyenas with designer clothes.
Good information. Can’t wait to go back to Africa 😀
Very helpful! Thank you!
You are welcome.
Your subscription is really appreciated.
loved it man, you kept it short useful and at the same time free of bull*hit advertizing for stuff
Thank you. This is very helpful. Priceless advice. Heading your way in May.
Thank you for your advice! I was going to go on a shopping spree! I won’t now. Saving my money 💵 for the entry fees 😅
I recently traveled to Tanzania for a month. I bought 3 mixable safari type clothes, greenish tan…2 long pants one knee length. I found ones that felt very comfortable. I was glad I bought new (used) clothes because they dried quickly. My home clothes would not have worked well. I did have one light weight jacket that I had for layering. And one fleece I needed a few times.
So glad I found your site thanks for this amazing information
Anthony, I am loving your videos, please keep making them! They have been so helpful as we are headed to Africa in just a few days. Thank you for all your tips and optimism!
Hi Jennifer. Thanks for your encouragement. I am sincerely happy that you found my videos helpful. It is so awesome that you are coming to Africa. I am sure you guys will have the time of your lives.
Im going to Tanzania for a week then to Zanzibar for a week in October! Your videos have been helpful and youre funny. Thank you!!!
One thing you should know Tanzania is country okay . When you say your going to Tanzania 🇹🇿 you don’t have to say then Zanzibar because Zanzibar is in Tanzania . It like your saying your going to USA and then to Washington , does that make sense ?
Thabk you 👍
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Tenho um amigo que é líder e organizador de travessias e trekking, o look dele é o mesmo que vemos em filmes antigos de safari: bermuda com vários bolsos, meias até os joelhos, botas, e camisa de manga longa 😀😀😀 Parece retrô, mas é muito funcional, efetivo, e parece ajudar no desempenho! Like.
Very good, practical advice. Plainly delivered. Sometimes even experienced presenters forget this and overwhelm with useless commentary. Well done. Excited for my upcoming safari.
Glad it was helpful!
Me, watching carefully, listening to every word, knowing very well I will never go to a safari...
👋there,
I Found many of yours Videos are quite Interesting so I just would like to follow- up & ask you : -
I'm going to- Kenya, Tanzania & Zimbabwe for a (1) - month Long *Tour* this August exploring the Maasai Marra, the Serengeti, Zaznibar & Victoria Falls etc. and I booked already my Tour through this Local- Kenyan *TOUR AGENT* but now I'm Scared, Afraid & Worry my *Safety & Security* !!!
So my Question is - WHAT should I do ???!
I encourage you not to be scared. Be prepared for eventualities that may happen but also relax knowing that the governments of the countries you will be going to take tourism and tourists very seriously. They do not want a scandal in their hands so they do their best to keep their tourists safe.
Having said that, you do need to be prepared. Here are a few articles I wrote on how to stay safe

Its amazing that you are doing a trip to Africa and I hope you have the adventure of your life.
Please report back on how your trip went.
Bro, which travel company Package you had taken?? Please suggest🙏
In 2008 I did a 16 night wild bush camping safari, travelling in a converted 4x4 truck. We didn't have much space for luggage so inevitably our clothes became dusty and grubby and probably smelly too.
In the Serengeti we stopped at a visitor information centre. While we were looking around a woman appeared in the whitest safari suit I have ever seen. Even her shoes were white. She took one look at our dishevelled group and much to our amusement disappeared.
good video
Thanks
Hi brother, I really like your videos and your approach to the business, where can I book a Safari with you as my tour guide?
Hi! I don't provide to tour services but you can check out the description for a list of different Safari companies but you can consider.
Thanks for the Video. I wanna know if light grey and dark blue also a good colour to wear in safari. I See different opinions abt those two colours.
I would avoid dark blue.
Great videos and tips. My wife and I are planning a 2-week safari to Kenya and Tanzania in September of this year. Question for you, I read that I can't wear wide-brimmed camouflaged "boonie" hats during our safari...is that true? I heard some countries restrict wear of anything military/camouflaged.
It's wise to avoid Military camo gear but I don't think it applies to hats.
How to meet you in Kenya??
Thank you for a very helpful set of advice Anthony. I have a question: are pastel colours considered bright colours? Like pastel yellow or pastel blue?
They are considered bright colors. Pastel yellows, blues, and greens and oranges. 😊
I would personally not consider them too bright but you may want to avoid them if you can.
There is no hard and fast rule though and the recommendations I give are more guidelines than rules. If you don't have anything else in your closet, or if you really want to wear them, go ahead. Remember it might get dusty and dust in places like Kenya stocks to clothes really good.
Yeah.... I DEFINITELY need 100% new clothes hahahaha
If you should blend in, then shouldn't you wear camouflage? Something like desert tan Mulicam or MARPAT.
I’m wearing a dress. I’m going for a retro vintage safari look
Not bad. But that's if you want to stand out.
Would I need binoculars?
Some safari companies provide this so you might want to ask them if they do and probably ask what exact brand it is to check if it will work for you.
Hope this helps.
I would think that any tourist would be wearing the same types of clothes as the locals when touring Madagascar.
Could you just recommend some budget African safaris where you're more likely to see the Big 5
Almost all the safaris you take in Kenya and Tanzania will have one or two Big five's in the park. I would recommend doing Kenya or Tanzania and do two parks to maximize your chances of seeing all the Big 5.
If you are going to Kenya then Masai Mara needs to be on your list. If you are going to Tanzania then Serengeti needs to be on your list
I would advise against going to both countries in one trip. You don't want to have to deal with immigration in the middle of your Safari.
Hi, is it true people should avoid camouflage clothes due to military and also, do you recommend "leopard" print? Thank you :)
It's common for ladies here in Kenya to wear leopard print. So I don't think it will be a problem. One caveat is to ensure that the clothes with the leopard print do not look like combat clothes.
For the avoidance of doubt, you want to make sure that it's very distinguishable from military gear.
I hope this helps.
I have proven even hunting orange cammo works and does not make animals afraid. I’m totally lucky and have old Patern 85 Canadian military cloths and they work the best for me. Old school canvas basketball shoes work the absolute best in my opinion. But seriously I have used shirts and cloths from my local works man’s store and they worked just fine. And don’t wear short shorts u less you really enjoy pain
Thank you so much for this video. We live in a desert so we were hoping that much of our same hiking gear would do. I’m happy to hear it will. 🏔️
Do you or any of your followers have tips on South Africa? Is it dressy there? Can I get away with the same clothes I’m wearing on safari in Zambia, or will I look like a “touron” (tourist moron)? 😊 again thank you for this video
South Africa is a developed country, you can dress up or dress casual, depending on your circumstances.
Thank you! I’ll be there in August and was struggling on how to dress for the climate. This is really helpful!
Hey Elaine. I am really glad you are finding value in the videos. That is why I make them. 😃
You will not go wrong with layers of the clothes you wear everyday.
For luxury hotels, they only clothing you expect is a bath robe which you will have to leave behind after your stay.
These hotels usually come with tid bits like shower gel, toothbrush, lotion, shampoo conditioner...
Hope this is helpful.
