How to Dress on Safari:

For this safari, it’s essential to wear comfortable, practical clothing suited to Tanzania’s climate and terrain:

1. Neutral-colored clothing (khaki, brown, green) helps blend into the environment and avoids attracting insects.
2. Lightweight, breathable fabrics are recommended to keep cool during the day, while a light sweater or jacket is necessary for cooler mornings and evenings, especially in the mountains.
3. Sturdy hiking boots for hiking through Udzungwa Mountains and uneven terrains.
4. Long sleeves and pants to protect against bugs and thorny plants.
5. A hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun.
6. A light rain jacket for potential showers, especially in Udzungwa.

Best Time to Travel & Safari Seasons:
