Safari Gear

Also try and use a lightweight suitcase or soft bag.

If you are staying in the expensive private lodges there will be a porter to carry your bags but if you are doing a self-drive safari you will be carrying your own bags.

At some of the Kgalagadi Wilderness camps and the Kruger bush lodges like Boulders, the tourism assistant / camp manager does help carry your luggage, but this is not the norm!

These are the key items of safari clothing that we pack…

• Safari Footwear

• Safari Hats

• Safari Jackets

• Safari Pants

• Safari Shirts

• Safari Vest / Photo vest

• Socks – we wear hiking socks with our boots

• Swimming costume - if you want to swim in the pools

• Tracksuit – for evenings or for sleeping in

• Underwear



Our main tip here is that you should pack light! You can always wash a few clothes along the way.

The African sun is very hot and our clothes dry within a few hours and most of the main camps have Laundromats or you could ask the cleaning staff at the camps to do your washing for a small fee – they are very willing to earn some extra income.
