Kenya Safari Packing List

Kenya Safari Packing List

Kenya Safari Packing List requires careful consideration to ensure comfort and convenience during your adventure. Essential items include lightweight, breathable clothing in neutral colours to blend into the natural surroundings. Sturdy footwear is crucial for walking safaris, while a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses provide sun protection. Don’t forget a good camera and binoculars for wildlife viewing. 

Additionally, pack insect repellent, sunscreen, and a reusable water bottle for hydration. A small first-aid kit and personal toiletries will also enhance your experience. We’ve compiled an informative Kenya Safari Packing List that covers everything you’ll need for a comfortable and enjoyable Kenya Safari experience.

What to Wear on a Kenya Safari

  1. Lightweight Clothing: Choose breathable fabrics for comfort in warm weather.
  2. Neutral Colours: Wear browns, greens, or tans to avoid startling wildlife.
  3. Long-Sleeved Shirts: Protect against sun exposure and insects.
  4. Cargo Pants or Trousers: Comfortable options with pockets for convenience.
  5. Sun Hat: A wide-brimmed hat to shield your face from the sun.
  6. Sunglasses: Protect your eyes from UV rays during the day.
  7. Light Jacket: For cooler mornings and evenings.

"Patient and professional" Moses was very good with communication. I had 101 questions so he was patient, friendly and reassuring as I was a solo traveller.

      "Moran tours was a joy to work with in every regard" From the beginning Moran tours made planning an unforgettable experience easy. Moses was very communicative and the guide, Felix, was fun, knowledgeable, and one of the best guides I’ve ever had. I cannot recommend him more, it was wonderful.
