Safari Clothing List

Tanzania, during the dry season of January- February sees little to no rainfall. So, best to pack some jackets.

For the wet seasons of March, you must pack May heavy jackets, scarves, and safari boots.

But if you’re planning Tanzania Safari Holidays during the dry seasons of June to October, there will be a lot of humidity. So our advice is to pack some light clothes.

Overall, long sleeve shirts and trousers are your best friend. It is not only perfect for colder nights but also serves well to avoid mosquitoes
