In the Kruger National Park, visitors are advised to be aware of the wildlife and to follow the park’s rules and guidelines.

What should I wear on safari?

When visiting the Kruger National Park, it’s important to dress appropriately for both comfort and practicality. Here are some tips on what to wear. Comfortable, breathable clothing: South Africa’s climate is generally warm, so it’s important to wear lightweight and breathable clothing that will keep you cool and comfortable during game drives. Loose-fitting, long-sleeved shirts and pants made of lightweight, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen are good choices. Neutral-colored clothing: When on safari, it’s best to wear neutral-colored clothing like beige, khaki, or green. Bright colors or patterns can make it more difficult to observe wildlife without disturbing them. Closed-toe shoes: It’s important to wear sturdy, comfortable, closed-toe shoes that provide good support for walking and hiking. Sneakers or hiking boots are a good choice. Hat and sunglasses: A wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses will provide shade and protection from the sun during game drives. Layering: South Africa’s climate can vary from hot and sunny during the day to cool and windy at night, so it’s important to dress in layers that can be easily added or removed. Insect repellent: Mosquitoes and other insects can be present in some areas of the Kruger National Park, so it’s important to apply insect repellent and wear long-sleeved shirts and pants in the evenings.
