Taking a Safari Vacation is certainly a top choice for many. Members of my family have taken an African Safari Adventure and were absolutely thrilled and would recommend this holiday to anyone.
In fact, my wife and I are making plans for travel to ๐ฆ Africa very soon, to embark on a trip of a lifetime!
Recently, I was approached by a writer online asking to include an article on helpful tips for those thinking of or actually embarking on this type of adventure.
There are some things you should pack to better prepare yourself for a safari trip. Below are some excellent Safari Adventure Packing Tips.

Getting ready for a Safari Adventure can be fun, if you do it right!
The key to success is packing the essentials you need without overdoing it. To help you get a solid start on packing for your next adventure, we have provided a list of essential items that you should consider taking with you.
Check it out and read through the tips to get the most out of your trip!
Packing For Your Safari Adventure
Proper Clothing โ What To Wear On Your Safari
Safari Adventure Packing Tips #1
You will want to pack a variety of clothing options as the weather on your safari may vary from day to day. Bring along a couple pairs of shorts and jeans as well, and a few options for short and long-sleeved shirts.
You will also want to avoid bright colors and stick to neutrals like khaki, deep green and brown. A windbreaker will also come in handy should the wind pick up a bit while you are out.
If you are staying at a resort, pack a comfortable evening dress or casual smart slacks. Donโt forget to pack your swimsuit, as many accommodations have ๐ swimming pools on site!
Adequate Protection From The Sun
Safari Adventure Packing Tips #2
Long socks and enclosed ๐ฅพ boots/shoes with durable soles will be important for protecting your feet and ankles. Bringing along a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses and plenty of SPF sunscreen and lip balm will also be imperative.
These essential items will protect your skin from one of the harshest elements in the world. Along with your sunscreen, pack plenty of ๐ฆ insect repellent!
The bugs on your trip will be a bit exotic in comparison to those that you find at home. Some of these pesky insects could be carrying disease.
Always be aware of this and be diligent taking preventative measures.
Adventure Gear โ Basic Necessities
Safari Adventure Packing Tips #3
For your adventures, you will want to be certain to bring along a few important essentials that can get you through the rugged terrain.
Some of these include;
โ A durable backpack with plenty of space and pockets;
โ Plenty of snacks and water;
โ A lighter and/or waterproof matches (camping);
โ A pocket knife (camping);
โ Wet wipes;
โ A water purifying kit for emergencies;
โ A sleeping bag (If camping);
โ Travel First-Aid Kit.
Of course, what you plan to pack will relate to the type of Safari you may be taking. There are some amazing ๐ Glamping Safaris to experience, where the above items wonโt be necessary. ๐
Quality Optics
Safari Adventure Packing Tips #4
The sites you will experience on your first safari will be unlike any other. Make sure each moment is captured to share and revisit upon your return. Bring a good ๐ธ camera with plenty of memory and easy portability.
Look into waterproof casings and solid straps to protect your camera from damage during your adventure.
A set of good binoculars will allow you to take in each site from a safe distance. Look into your options and do a little research to find the perfect lightweight pair to pack and use on our safari.
You wonโt want to skimp on quality, and finding a reasonably-priced set should do the job for basic site-seeing.
Travel Essentials
Safari Adventure Packing Tips #5
While some of these items are pretty standard for any vacation, others are fairly specific for International Travel. Be sure to pack and check off each item on the list below to ensure safe travel to and from your destination.
As well as for your comfort upon arrival at your camp or resort;
โ Passports and IDโs;
โ Tourist Visa (if applicable)
โ Health insurance cards and information;
โ Vaccinations and other medical documentation;
โ ATM, debit and credit cards (be sure to set a travel notice on your accounts);
โ A print-out of each of your reservations (tours, rentals, hotel, flights, etc.);
โ Basic toiletries (soap, hair products, razor, etc.);
โ Chargers for phones, cameras and other electronic devices;
โ Any prescribed medications as well as OTC allergy and pain relief tablets.
Just a few recommendations for packing to make your next safari adventure successful.
Talk to experienced safari experts and/or take advantage of the many ๐ฉ Benefits Of Booking With A Travel Agent and other safari travel specialists.
These professionals and companies can assist greatly in determining which products and places to visit will offer the best quality for your buck.
We hope you enjoy a Safe and Fun Safari!
