Donning comfortable and casual clothing that you can wash and wear is recommended while on safari. Most lodges and camps provide a same-day laundry service for your clothes, so check with your host regarding this service in advance.

Muted colours are best for game viewing. Game drives are generally conducted in the early morning and the late afternoon, which can be cold, especially in winter. The temperature often warms up during the day, so it is best to dress in layers.

We got these nuggets from andbeyond.com and they will guide you on the most practical items to pack for your safari:

• Clothes in khaki, green, beige and neutral colours
• Long-sleeved shirts that offer protection from the sun and mosquitoes
• T-shirts
• Shorts or a light skirt
• Jeans or safari trousers for evenings and cooler days
• Jackets and sweaters for early morning and late afternoon game drives

  • A lightweight waterproof jacket in case of rain
  • Swim and beachwear
  • Comfortable walking shoes
  • Sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, insect repellent, moisturiser and lip balm
  • Binoculars and camera equipment

Take note that camouflage-patterned clothing is not permitted in Zimbabwe. This applies to any clothing that can be construed as imitating military-wear.
