The Safari Store is a UK-based company with its heart in the world’s wide-open spaces. Once a safari guide and, later, working for a London tour operator, The Safari Store’s founder Steve Adams created The Safari Store to provide high-end, specialised outdoor apparel to give safari-goers and outdoor enthusiasts the best experiences during their precious outdoor adventures – from exploring local natural attractions to exotic African safaris and adventure travels.

Over a decade of supplying the best in outdoor and safari clothing, luggage, and gear. A lifetime of adventures.

THE SAFARI STORY.

As a team, we know the pull of the wilderness. We know how it ignites the wild in your veins and how it draws you with the promise that no two experiences will be the same. At The Safari Store, our aim is simple: to provide outdoor and safari clothing, luggage, and gear to give you the best experiences of Africa and the outdoors. The right gear undeniably makes a big difference to travel and outdoor pursuits. Through the best made-for-purpose apparel and specialist designs and technologies, we strive to equip you with the gear you need to keep you exploring the world’s exciting natural spaces. So if you are looking for the best clothing and gear you have come to the right place for safari shirts , safari clothing, safari hats , safari luggage & safari accessories .

The Safari Store Team are dedicated to supplying you with the best products available for all outdoor adventures. If your yearning for wild and remote places takes you on safari, we all have first-hand African travel knowledge to help you prepare for your trip. If you are exploring a little closer to home, we stand by the incredible suitability of safari clothing to adventure travel and outdoor hobbies. Everyone on the team gets their hands dirty – when they’re lucky, on safari or out on the trail, but also daily – updating the website, searching, designing, and expedition testing new products for African and outdoor conditions, distributing orders, processing returns, and assisting you with expert packing advice and product information. Going on safari? Download our free customisable safari packing list - and our safari advice is well worth reading. We have also written some great stories around the safari travel theme. After all, there simply is nothing better to do with your day than to go on safari.

Our founder, Steve, doing what he does best: dreaming up new products, and then expedition-testing samples. Here he is in Zambia on a hot, dry, dusty day - not far from confluence of the Zambezi & Kafue rivers - on a trip in a Land Rover Series I, which needed some pushing to get going after each stop. Steve is testing the Swarovski EL Safari Binoculars , the Mara&Meru Panama Safari Hat , the Men's Anti-insect Everything Safari Shirt , Men's Explorer Anti-Insect Zip-Off Safari Trousers , & Merrell Safari Shoes . On the front seat of the Land Rover is one of Steve's favourite bag designs: the limited-edition Mara&Meru Leather Safari Pannier .

EXPEDITION TESTED™, EXPERT ADVICE - FOR YOU

Africa has some of the most rigorous travel conditions in the world, presenting a challenge for even the most adventurous among us – and this makes it the perfect place to test outdoor apparel for every kind of adventure. Every item available from The Safari Store has been expedition-tested under extreme African conditions to ensure you are purchasing high-quality items we can vouch for off the back of real experience. Our products’ suitability to Africa makes them perfectly adapted to myriad outdoor activities – tested and trusted to be the best for the outdoors. When the fabrics we were developing weren’t up to scratch, we abandoned and re-developed them, took them back into Africa, and subsequently had them independently-tested. If straps of a bag don’t sit comfortably on a long walking safari, the design is changed until it’s perfected. These steps are part of our assurance in providing only the best – because your best experience of Africa and the outdoors is at the core of what we do. While the range is constantly growing, the online store is now home to key travel products that no traveller to Africa (or, indeed, any warm climate destination) should be without. Please do take the time to look at our range of safari shirts , safari clothing, safari hats , safari luggage & safari accessories .

The Safari Store has appeared in a number of publications over the years including Conde Nast Traveller , Carrier Travel Essentials , Land Rover World , Harpers Bazaar , Arise Magazine , CNN Traveler , Homes & Antiques , and the Huffington Post . The greatest testament to our quality, however, comes in the form of you – the safari-goer, the world traveller, the lover of the outdoors, the fisherman, birder, hiker, nature-enthusiast. It comes from more than ten years of producing products that have accompanied thousands of people on adventures we can only begin to imagine. It comes from being part of adventures that shape a lifetime.

Claire, our writer - and Steve's partner in adventure - stand-up paddling a small inflatable boat on the upper Kafue river close to Chimfunshi. Claire is willingly roped into some rather mad-hatter product-test expeditions - here doing a recce for the expedition which turned into the Three Rivers Expedition. Claire is testing the Women's Serengeti Safari Hat , the Mara&Meru Laced Tank Safari Top . Unseen on her skin is Bushman Ultra Insect Repellent , which was extensively tested in Zambia through the rains. As someone who attracts all sorts of flying and biting things Claire is pretty well placed to assist in making sure that our repellents are the best.

DEDICATED TO DOING GOOD.

As part of our longstanding love of Africa and the world’s wild and natural spaces, it is in our nature to assist where we can in a meaningful way through what we call "constructive, community, conservation" funded by our YOUbuy, WEgive initiative. Please click here to find out how your purchases assist our projects. We are also dedicated to ensuring that the way in which we do business may cost us more, but the environment less.

Best safari clothing: brands, clothes & tips for African safaris

You’re off on safari! You’ve done all the research , purchased the guide books , and the tickets are hot in your hand.

But most importantly, you’re getting ready to pack your ultra-light bag with everything you’ll need for your trip of a lifetime.

You’ve read all the advice you can handle (perhaps even this post on how to pack for safaris for your African bush adventure).

But when it comes down to the line, you still have no idea whether your favorite sweater is going to be a help or a hindrance, if you should pack jeans, how many pairs of socks are enough, and what on earth to expect once you are out in the wild.

What to wear on safari is something of a conundrum , the answer to which is entirely dependent on whether you are a complete slave to fashion and constantly worry about your appearance.

Or whether you don’t care if your trousers absolutely match your shirt and if your shoes co-ordinate properly with your camera bag.

So, in a bid to help sort the wheat from the chaff when it comes to safari style, this guide aims to highlight the best safari clothing brands and tips for your next trip to Africa .

African Safari Clothes: 7 Useful Tips

The African savanna has seen virtually every take on both the best and worst dressed safari goers , including some of the most practical and impractical safari gear around.

This includes everything from haute couture animal prints hot off the Milan catwalk, to Prada stilettos getting stuck in between the slats of wooden decks, and $300 silk scarves ripped to shreds by thorn bushes.

There are also tales of wild baboons getting hold of Victoria’s Secret lingerie and leaving it draped for all to see high in the branches of an acacia tree.

There are plenty of stories about complete wardrobe disasters—but to ensure you’re not one of them, here is a list of useful tips on how to dress for safaris .

1. Leave the luxury safari clothing at home

Lesson 1 in safari style is to NEVER take your best clothes into the bush .

If you find a pair of shorts, trousers, or a top you love and know that it would break your heart to have it ruined on safari, it’s probably best to leave it at home .

Instead, look for clothing that is specifically suited for the wild . And if the item comes in different colors, buy the range!

This way, over the years, you’ll acquire a variety of clothes which come everywhere with you. Look out for clothes that you can team together to create practical yet stylish outfits.

2. Keep your clothes for safari simple

Lesson 2 is learning how many of each item you will need . As a rule of thumb, always go with four of the basics.

Four pairs of shorts , four pairs of cut-off pants , four string vests , four t-shirts , four pairs of long pants , four button-through shirts (two of which are long-sleeved), four sets of underwear , four pairs of socks … you get the drift, I am sure!

When traveling in winter or during the colder months of the year, add to this scenario two lightweight long-sleeve t-shirts and two knitted sweaters , plus two fleeces or warm jackets , thermal long johns , gloves , a scarf , and a beanie .

When considering your safari apparel, ALWAYS pack a swimsuit and a couple of sarongs/kikoys . Even in the winter, it’s usually warm enough to suntan during the day and sometimes even swim.

3. Your safari wear should include comfortable shoes

Lesson 3 concerns footwear . In the heat of the summer, it is best to pack at least two pairs of “bush slops” – flip flops (thongs) which are heavy-duty, waterproof, and good enough to handle walking in the light bush for game drives.

You may also need two or three pairs of fashionable flip-flops or sandals for around camp and evening meals, and a pair of good walking shoes ( Merrells ) for walking safaris.

In the winter, replace the walking shoes with walking boots and add a pair of lightweight faux-fur lined “trendy” flat boots for evening wear.

4. Safari fashion: accessories

Accessorize – that’s the key to lesson 4 – it’s the difference between a good safari wardrobe and a bad one. Two or three lightweight colored scarves and/or wraps are a must in any safari bag .

Usually, they have beadwork or applique of some description on them. These are useful for dressing up even the most conservative safari outfit—great if you’re looking to add a dash of glamor to your evening meals. Team them up with a couple of great “ethnic” bead necklaces and earrings .

Another essential item to include with your safari attire is a hat —and these can most certainly be fun. Pack in a couple of lightweight, floppy straw sun-hats, as these are great for game drives or tiger fishing.

Another good option is the usual peak baseball-style caps.

5. What to wear on safari – quality

Lesson 5 is all about quality . Everything you take into the bush with you needs to stand the test of time.

This includes the elements of the African wild, the rigors of hand-washing, and bumping and grinding in the back of a safari vehicle halfway across Africa.

So it’s important to check your clothes before you pack to make sure they can be hand-washed, aren’t going to fall apart the first time you wear them, and are not likely to fade too drastically when hung in the sun to dry.

The material of your clothing is also important. When out in the wild, it is best to stick to strong natural materials like hemp , linen , leather , and wool .

Nylon and polyester also tend to provide adequate protection against the elements.

6. Best safari clothing brands

Wondering where to buy safari clothes? Most of the high-street fashion chains carry good quality fashionable safari clothes which will stand up to the average safari conditions.

As such, you may be able to avoid the need to go to specialist outfitters and camping/outdoor stores where things tend to cost a lot more.

And, of course, the big brands like Jeep (a favorite with safari goers because their clothes are practical, hard-wearing, and pretty at the same time) and Cat always have some great clothes for safaris—including some of the best safari shirts.

In addition to these, here are several more reliable brands to consider when buying safari clothes:

• Columbia — this is a good option for those seeking affordable safari clothing that is still good quality.
• First Ascent — if you’re buying safari clothes in South Africa, keep an eye out for this brand as it offers some excellent quality clothing.
• Patagonia — while the brand is more expensive, they provide some of the highest quality outdoor clothing and gear on the market.
• REI — if you’re shopping online, REI is often the go-to for outdoor gear. Their house brand is affordable and offers many items that will serve you well on your safari.
• Ruggedwear — proudly South African, it is an official partner of the Field Guides Association of Southern Africa (FGASA).
• Sapmok — footwear for every adventure. Comfy. Durable. And stylish.

7. What color clothing for African safaris

Finally, lesson 7 concerns white . Do you take white clothes into the bush with you? Hell yes.

As long as you don’t expect them to remain white for long and can accept the fact that no matter where you wear them, they’re bound to get a little dirty. It’s more or less a bush essential in my book because it reflects sunlight , keeps you cool and goes with everything .

Everyone says, “don’t wear white on a safari vehicle,” – but this is far from the truth. However, white isn’t the only color that’s good for safaris.

When dressing for safaris, the basic color range is simple: khaki , beige , white, and brown (or variations thereof).

Avoid black and blue during the day because they attract tsetse flies .

But do occasionally take these colors for evening wear when the tsetses have gone to bed.

What to Wear on an African Safari: Checklist

Now that you’re all clued up with what to consider when deciding what clothes to wear on a safari, it’s time to pack.

Here’s a checklist to ensure you don’t miss anything.

Africa safari clothing list

Below are some of the most essential pieces of clothing to bring along on a safari:

• 4 safari shirts
• 4 casual t-shirts or vests
• 4 safari pants or shorts
• 4 pairs of blister-proof socks for safari walks
• 3 pairs of pajamas
• 2 warm fleece tops or jackets (good for a summer or winter safari outfit)
• 2 pairs of flip-flops or sandals (one for the wild and one for at the lodge)
• 2 safari dresses (for at the lodge)
• 2 swimming costumes
• 1 waterproof jacket
• 1 kikoy or sarong
• 1 wide-brim hat or baseball cap
• 1 pair of safari shoes or boots

Safari gear and accessories list

In addition to clothing, you should include the following items when packing for a safari:

• 4 pairs of anti-chafing tights (good for walking safaris)
• 2 pairs of garden gloves (useful for gorilla trekking safaris)
• 2 pairs of ankle gaiters
• 1 pair of sunglasses
• 1 bottle of sunscreen
• 1 safari belt

Start Packing Your African Safari Clothing

There’s nothing quite like getting down and dirty on an African safari. Whether you’re going on a game drive or a walking safari, you’re sure to come in contact with the various elements of the wild—and not to mention the wildlife, too.

For this reason, having the correct clothing is important . This will protect you during excursions and allow you to blend in better with the natural environment.

So next time you’re contemplating what to wear on African safaris, review the list above . These useful tips will guarantee you have a pleasant experience, both at the lodge and in the bush.

So what are you waiting for? Check out these incredible African safari deals and start packing!
