Five quick tips to help you on a safari trip

 Pith helmet, enormous telephoto lens , garters - there is a lot of kit you'll bring for your safari. But it's really unnecessary to travel 

out and shop big in preparation for your big African adventure. For the foremost part, you would like to be comfortable so wearing the garments 

you're wont to and having something consider placed on when the sun goes down is enough to urge you thru . But if you would like some winning 

recommendations on what the experts pack for his or her safari, read on.

Safari clothes

There's no got to go full khaki, but colours that blend in to the environment instead of bright colours make the wildlife easier . 

If you're during a vehicle on game drives, what colour you wear doesn't make a difference, but if you venture out on a walking 

safari you will be ready to meet up with to the animals if you're somewhat camouflaged. this is often particularly important

 if you go tracking the mountain gorillas in Uganda or Rwanda (or Congo). There's opportunity for close encounters with these 

amazing creatures if you do not look too threatening during a bright red jacket.

Bright blues and purples attract tsetse flies which really hurt once they bite and may transmit the African sleepy sickness .

Out in the bush, guides don't care an excessive amount of what their guests are wearing but if you propose to spend 

time in rural villages or towns along the East African coast, these areas are more conservative. it'll be easier for you

 if you've got clothes that cover your shoulders and your knees.

Of course a wide-brimmed hat may be a must as you spend your days in open-topped vehicles.

Torch/flashlight: We don't recommend going out on night nature walks, but the straightforward act of getting from the dining 

room to your bedroom after dinner are often tougher than you would possibly assume. If you're choosing the quintessential safari

 experience and staying at a tented camp, you'll need to walk outside from the dining room to your tent. Most camps have staff 

who will escort you and who have torches, but it's nice to possess your own torch so you do not trip over a stray stone or something.

 Also within the pre-dawn light as you venture from your tent to your game drive vehicle, a torch is handy.

Insect repellant: With DEET. Malaria is that the biggest killer in Africa and to not be taken lightly. Your travel doctor will probably

 suggest taking anti-malarials but the simplest prevention against the disease isn't to urge bitten within the first place. So, covering up

 with long sleeves and long pants within the evenings and slathering yourself in insectifuge will keep you safe.

Binoculars: Many safari guides will carry a pair of binoculars (or two) within the ir vehicle but you will be sharing that pair with everyone

 in the vehicle. Bring your own for unabridged wildlife viewing.

Wet wipes: It can get hot and dusty call at the African bush

 She has travelled to over 50 countries and led tours in most of these . OTA focuses on engaging with the African continent

 instead of just viewing it through the window. OTA is connected with several community-based organisations throughout 

Kenya and incorporates visits to those projects into their itineraries.
