Comments
It will be hot on most safaris, so carry sun protection and wear light, neutral-colored clothing. These natural colours will help you blend in with the
surroundings. Because temperatures might decrease at night, long-sleeved shirts and long pants are essential. Wear a variety of layers that you can
remove or add as needed.
Don't over pack because the amount of luggage you can bring on the smaller planes and safari vehicles is limited. In any case, you'll probably only
utilize around half of what you brought. It's worth noting that there are some larger grocery stores and pharmacies in Arusha where you can still get a
lot of products if necessary.
