When traveling on safari, baggage should be kept to a minimum. Charter flights and vehicle transfers do not allow a large amount of baggage. Use soft duffle bags instead of suitcases, as frequently the small airplane baggage lockers cannot fit a large suitcase.

Laundry service (excluding underwear) is available in all of the properties; therefore large amounts of clothing are not required. Towels are supplied in permanent camps and lodges.

City hotels and some large safari lodges provide electricity for such items as shavers and hair-dryers. Smaller lodges and permanent camps will rely on generators for electricity or solar power, limiting electrical availability. Most campsites do not have electricity so hair-dryers, electric shavers, etc. are not useable.

Safaris Tour’s climate is based upon altitude. Inland, the days are warm to hot; the evenings are cool to cold. Only at the Coast are the temperatures less varied, remaining warm to hot throughout the day and night. The coldest months are June, July, and August; the hottest months are January, February, and March.

June, July, August, and November may provide some showers and misty weather as these are the times of the Long and Short rains.

Faqs for the dressing.

Long-sleeved, lightweight shirts or blouses, and trousers, with a sweater or light jacket, are appropriate for the evenings. The camps do not have heating, so bring something warm to use during cold evenings.

Shorts and t-shirts are suitable for hotter days.

A lightweight rain jacket is useful; a wide-brimmed hat is vital.

A good pair of walking shoes or boots is advisable when walking or horse riding. However, within the camps, lodges, and hotels, light footwear may be worn.

Neutral colors, such as gray, khaki, browns, or greens, are best; bright colors and patterns, including white, can spook animals and birds.

Some lodges and hotels have swimming pools, so bring your swimsuit!
