Safari days start early and end late, and temperatures change a lot between a cold dawn on the Ngorongoro rim and a hot afternoon in Tarangire. Pack light layers in neutral colours.

Clothing

  • Neutral-coloured shirts and trousers (avoid dark blue and black, which attract tsetse flies)
  • A warm fleece or jacket for early mornings
  • Comfortable closed shoes and sandals
  • Sun hat and sunglasses

Useful extras

  • Binoculars, one pair per person if possible
  • Camera with a zoom lens and spare batteries
  • Sunscreen, insect repellent and a small first-aid kit
  • A soft bag if you fly on light aircraft (often limited to 15 kg)

We send a full packing list with every booking.
