What to Wear on Safari<\/strong><\/h1>\nWritten By: Liz Warren<\/p>\n
\n <\/p>\n
A safari is no ordinary vacation\u2013it\u2019s an adventure that takes place almost entirely outdoors. Start by reading these two helpful safari packing guides:<\/p>\n

When I visited Tanzania in October, I floated above the plains on a hot air balloon ride, hiked along the outskirts of the Serengeti<\/a>, and spent hours tracking amazing wildlife.<\/p>\nOn safari, you need to be ready for all kinds of weather and adventures, and that means your outfits need to be practical. But have no fear\u2013this doesn\u2019t mean you need to sacrifice fashion.<\/p>\n

Use a capsule wardrobe to pack light but create many outfits. <\/span><\/i>Learn more in my <\/span><\/i>guide<\/span><\/i><\/a>!<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n
There are tons of ways to stay both practical and stylish on safari. Here\u2019s what to wear on safari:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n

Bring leggings<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no safari outfit more practical than leggings and an oversized shirt or sweater. You can dress them up or down, which is perfect for days spent outdoors followed by nicer dinners at camp. Also, they\u2019re super comfortable, which is essential for those long wildlife-viewing drives.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I wish someone had sat me down before my trip and taught me the importance of leggings on safari.\u00a0Choose leggings you can easily re-wear without washing and avoid cotton fabrics. Fitness brands<\/a> are ideal for this.<\/p>\nThey will get dirty, and they will get wet. Choose pairs\u00a0that vary in thickness, and throw in some prints to switch things up a bit. You\u2019ll be so glad you did.<\/p>\n

Pack asymmetrical layers<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Everyone knows the importance of wearing layers<\/a>, especially in climates that change by the hour. In Tanzania, your morning can start out at 50\u00b0F and shoot up to 80\u00b0F by noon. When planning what to wear on safari, start with a base layer of leggings and a sleeveless tunic that hits just below your butt.<\/p>\nFrom there, add on a few layers of varying lengths\u2013slip on a lightweight, long-sleeved shirt that ends at your hips and top it with a light jacket. Having a few different layers peek out here and there will make an otherwise basic outfit more interesting.<\/p>\n

Fedora Hat <\/a>|\u00a0Infinity Scarf<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Floppy Hat<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Bring accessories \u2013 but practical ones<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
If you choose them wisely, accessories are a total game changer on safari. For starters, you\u2019ll want to bring a few hats\u2013and not just baseball caps. Remember: you won\u2019t be blow drying or straightening your hair, so get used to wearing something on your head every day, even if you\u2019re not typically a hat person. Throw in a wide-brimmed hat and a fedora to switch up your look.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Use <\/span><\/i>packing cubes<\/span><\/i><\/a> to help you organize and even compress your belongings to maximize your space when on Safari. <\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Another thing to add to your list as you plan what to wear on safari\u00a0is a scarf that you can either drape around your shoulders or use to tie back your hair. I chose a bold orange and blue print to spice up my more neutral-colored outfits.<\/p>\n

Choose the right shoes<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
The shoes you bring on safari are arguably the most important packing decision you\u2019ll have to make. Your duffel can only hold so much, and shoes can add on many unnecessary pounds\u00a0if you don\u2019t pack the right ones.<\/p>\n

So, I\u2019ve narrowed it down to three pairs of absolute essentials: sandals for showering and walking around your tent, sneakers for the days you spend hiking, and ankle boots\u2013yes, ankle boots.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re great for late dinners, they\u2019re closed so you don\u2019t have to worry about bugs attacking your feet, and they\u2019re super stylish. They\u2019ll match with all of your nighttime outfits, whether you choose shorts for warmer temperatures or your trusted leggings for cooler evenings.<\/p>\n

Buff Headband: 1<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a02\u00a0<\/a>|\u00a03<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Invest in some funky buffs<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
What are buffs, you ask? They\u2019re your safari BFF. I don\u2019t know how I would have gotten through my trip without these small pieces of fabric shielding my nose and mouth from all of the dust and dirt in the air.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I had a lightweight gray floral one for cleaner days in the north and I\u2019d switch it to a thicker one in dark green for dustier days, like in the Central Serengeti. Do not go on safari with at least one, and be sure to wash it out at the end of each day.<\/p>\n

Choose a cute everyday bag<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Your passport, money, camera, medicine, sunscreen, and bug spray are some things you\u2019ll want to keep within reach at all times. This means you\u2019ll need a bag that\u2019s both practical enough to fit everything comfortably and stylish enough to carry over from days in the bush to all of your evening activities.<\/p>\n

I used a slate-colored faux leather backpack with a handbag strap, and it was the best decision I could have made. I could wear it on my back for more physical activities, then wear it as a handbag later on.<\/p>\n

Here’s a round up of cute backpacks for travel<\/a>!<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Pay attention to your color palette<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
I\u2019m typically an all-black-everything kind of girl, but I really tried to step outside my dark comfort zone on safari for a few reasons. Your color palette is one easily forgotten aspect when planning what to wear on safari.<\/p>\n

For one, it\u2019s thought that black attracts tsetse flies, which are basically oversized flies that bite (terrifying, I know).<\/p>\n
Aside from that, though, Tanzanians cover themselves in these beautiful, bold prints that inspire even the darkest of fashion souls to try out some color. Ease into it by packing some gem tones or deeper neutrals here and there.<\/p>\n

When I visited Tanzania in October, I floated above the plains on a hot air balloon ride, hiked along the outskirts of the Serengeti<\/a>, and spent hours tracking amazing wildlife.<\/p>\n On safari, you need to be ready for all kinds of weather and adventures, and that means your outfits need to be practical. But have no fear\u2013this doesn\u2019t mean you need to sacrifice fashion.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Use a capsule wardrobe to pack light but create many outfits. <\/span><\/i>Learn more in my <\/span><\/i>guide<\/span><\/i><\/a>!<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n There are tons of ways to stay both practical and stylish on safari. Here\u2019s what to wear on safari:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Zella Leggings<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Mogul Leggings<\/a>\u00a0| Icebreaker Leggings<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n There\u2019s no safari outfit more practical than leggings and an oversized shirt or sweater. You can dress them up or down, which is perfect for days spent outdoors followed by nicer dinners at camp. Also, they\u2019re super comfortable, which is essential for those long wildlife-viewing drives.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n I wish someone had sat me down before my trip and taught me the importance of leggings on safari.\u00a0Choose leggings you can easily re-wear without washing and avoid cotton fabrics. Fitness brands<\/a> are ideal for this.<\/p>\n They will get dirty, and they will get wet. Choose pairs\u00a0that vary in thickness, and throw in some prints to switch things up a bit. You\u2019ll be so glad you did.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Find out the best leggings for women<\/a> that travel as voted for by our readers!<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Leggings<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Top<\/a> |\u00a0Crew<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Anorak<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Everyone knows the importance of wearing layers<\/a>, especially in climates that change by the hour. In Tanzania, your morning can start out at 50\u00b0F and shoot up to 80\u00b0F by noon. When planning what to wear on safari, start with a base layer of leggings and a sleeveless tunic that hits just below your butt.<\/p>\n From there, add on a few layers of varying lengths\u2013slip on a lightweight, long-sleeved shirt that ends at your hips and top it with a light jacket. Having a few different layers peek out here and there will make an otherwise basic outfit more interesting.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Read these tips on how to layer clothing<\/a>!<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fedora Hat <\/a>|\u00a0Infinity Scarf<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Floppy Hat<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you choose them wisely, accessories are a total game changer on safari. For starters, you\u2019ll want to bring a few hats\u2013and not just baseball caps. Remember: you won\u2019t be blow drying or straightening your hair, so get used to wearing something on your head every day, even if you\u2019re not typically a hat person. Throw in a wide-brimmed hat and a fedora to switch up your look.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Use <\/span><\/i>packing cubes<\/span><\/i><\/a> to help you organize and even compress your belongings to maximize your space when on Safari. <\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Another thing to add to your list as you plan what to wear on safari\u00a0is a scarf that you can either drape around your shoulders or use to tie back your hair. I chose a bold orange and blue print to spice up my more neutral-colored outfits.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Read our Lazy Girl’s Guide to Stylish Travel Accessories<\/a>!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sandal<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Shoes <\/a>|\u00a0Bootie<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The shoes you bring on safari are arguably the most important packing decision you\u2019ll have to make. Your duffel can only hold so much, and shoes can add on many unnecessary pounds\u00a0if you don\u2019t pack the right ones.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Read this guide on how to choose the best travel shoes<\/a>!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n So, I\u2019ve narrowed it down to three pairs of absolute essentials: sandals for showering and walking around your tent, sneakers for the days you spend hiking, and ankle boots\u2013yes, ankle boots.<\/p>\n They\u2019re great for late dinners, they\u2019re closed so you don\u2019t have to worry about bugs attacking your feet, and they\u2019re super stylish. They\u2019ll match with all of your nighttime outfits, whether you choose shorts for warmer temperatures or your trusted leggings for cooler evenings.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Learn how to wear ankle boots<\/a>!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Buff Headband: 1<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a02\u00a0<\/a>|\u00a03<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n What are buffs, you ask? They\u2019re your safari BFF. I don\u2019t know how I would have gotten through my trip without these small pieces of fabric shielding my nose and mouth from all of the dust and dirt in the air.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n I had a lightweight gray floral one for cleaner days in the north and I\u2019d switch it to a thicker one in dark green for dustier days, like in the Central Serengeti. Do not go on safari with at least one, and be sure to wash it out at the end of each day.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Find out why a\u00a0circle scarf<\/a>\u00a0is a must for female travelers!<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Backpack: 1<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a02<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a03<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Your passport, money, camera, medicine, sunscreen, and bug spray are some things you\u2019ll want to keep within reach at all times. This means you\u2019ll need a bag that\u2019s both practical enough to fit everything comfortably and stylish enough to carry over from days in the bush to all of your evening activities.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Find out how to keep your passport safe while traveling<\/a>!<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n I used a slate-colored faux leather backpack with a handbag strap, and it was the best decision I could have made. I could wear it on my back for more physical activities, then wear it as a handbag later on.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here’s a round up of cute backpacks for travel<\/a>!<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n I\u2019m typically an all-black-everything kind of girl, but I really tried to step outside my dark comfort zone on safari for a few reasons. Your color palette is one easily forgotten aspect when planning what to wear on safari.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n For one, it\u2019s thought that black attracts tsetse flies, which are basically oversized flies that bite (terrifying, I know).<\/p>\n Aside from that, though, Tanzanians cover themselves in these beautiful, bold prints that inspire even the darkest of fashion souls to try out some color. Ease into it by packing some gem tones or deeper neutrals here and there.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What are neutral colors?
