Comfort is key for a memorable safari experience. We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and sturdy, closed shoes for walking safaris. However, sandals and flip flops are also allowed for the drive portion. As temperatures can vary significantly, especially in the back of an open safari vehicle, a jacket is advisable.
