What should I pack for an African safari?
Pack lightweight neutral-colored clothing in khaki, beige, or olive tones. Avoid bright colors and camouflage — camouflage is restricted in several African countries. Bring a wide-brimmed hat, high-SPF sunscreen, strong insect repellent, binoculars, and a camera. Most luxury lodges have strict weight limits on internal bush flights — pack light and use soft-sided bags.

For peak season travel — Great Migration months July through October — book 8 to 12 months in advance. Luxury tented camps in Kenya and Tanzania have very limited capacity and fill a full year ahead during peak periods. South Africa and Morocco can often be booked 3 to 6 months in advance outside of school holiday periods.

Many private lodges in South Africa's malaria-free reserves offer family safaris with enclosed game vehicles, junior ranger programs, and family room configurations for children aged 6 and above. We recommend malaria-free private reserves for families traveling with younger children.
