Packing

Shorts and a T-shirt are perfectly adequate daytime wear on safari, but long trousers and warmer clothing might be required at mornings and nights, to protect against cold and against mosquitoes. Generally, August/September are hot months (30 °C to 33°C and a little cooler in the mornings and at night).

The predominantly Islamic inhabitants of the coast and offshore islands are used to tourists and are reasonably tolerant of Western dress codes. Nevertheless, it is still advisable for women not to wear too short clothes. Again, avoid clothes with too bright colors (especially blue) as they can attract some insects.

Binoculars are essential to watch distant wildlife in the game reserves. For most purposes, 7×21 compact binoculars will be fine, but birdwatchers will find a 10x magnification more useful, and should definitely carry a good field guide.

If you wear contact lenses, bring all the fluids you need, possibly a pair of glasses as a fallback – many safarigoers find the combination of sun, dust, and dryness irritating their eyes.
