When going away on a safari trip it can be difficult to know what to pack, particularly in terms of clothing.

The colour of the clothing that you choose to take is actually very important as many are not recommended and here’s why:-

White – this is not a good colour to wear whilst on safari as the idea is that you should blend in with the surroundings, white will stand out easily and could mean that the animals are scared away from you coming close to them.

Black/dark blue – this colour attracts a certain type of stinging fly in Africa that can be quite nasty and is best avoided at all costs.

Camouflage – this in many parts of Africa is actually illegal for civilians to wear and the laws can be very strictly enforced.

To blend in your best to wear neutral colours such as soft greys, beige colours and soft greens basically anything to help you blend into your surroundings with ease.
