Clothing
Clothing can be a tricky element of a safari to pin down, as you never know exactly what you are going to get when it comes to the Tanzania weather.
Tanzania experiences both wet and dry seasons, with the dry seasons falling between January and February and then from June to October and the wet seasons lasting from March to May (this is the more prominent wet season) and then November and December.
For a safari in the dry season, you aren’t likely to see any rain, but it is best to pack a few jackets just to be sure.
Remember, it’s not a fashion show out there, so be a bit more practical when choosing your safari wardrobe. Try to stay away from bright colours – Khaki and Forest Green colours are an all-time safari favourite and most recommended other neutral colours tend to work well too. It is probably best if you dress in layers since it can get cold, but also very hot.
