Note: While this is a general guide to vaccinations required for your East African safari, you should always visit your doctor before your departure to obtain the best advice.

Clothing

On an East African safari, you should go for comfort and convenience when it comes to your clothing. Some of the things you should remember, include:

• Bring lightweight layers in both long and short lengths, plus socks, sleepwear, and swim wear.
• Always take a sweater or fleece jacket, as it can get quite chilly at night and during early mornings.
• Unless you're planning to trek, bulky hiking boots are rarely necessary. However, a comfortable pair of lightweight trainers are a must.
• Don't forget a hat, as you'll want to protect your face and scalp from the equatorial sun.
• It's not recommended to wear bright colors on safari, so consider buying some khaki, dark green, or darker colored clothes before your trip.
