From the right sort of clothing to suitable equipment, our comprehensive safari packing list covers all the essentials you’ll need for your adventure in the wilderness. Whether you’re exploring the vast plains of the Serengeti or the dense forests of Tsavo, this packing list will help you prepare effectively for your safari.
Safari Packing List: Essentials for Your East African Adventure
- Clothing: Pack light, breathable fabrics that blend with the natural environment. Include long-sleeved shirts and pants for protection against the sun and insects. Opt for layers that you can add or remove as temperatures fluctuate from dawn to dusk.
- Footwear: Durable, comfortable walking or hiking shoes are essential. Consider the terrain and the amount of walking involved. Bring sandals or flip-flops for lounging around your lodge or camp.
- Hat and Sunglasses: A wide-brimmed hat and UV-protective sunglasses will guard against the sun’s rays.
- Binoculars: A good pair of binoculars enhances your wildlife viewing experience, allowing you to see animals in detail from a safe distance.
- Sunscreen and Insect Repellent: High SPF sunscreen and insect repellent are crucial to protect your skin from the sun and prevent bites from mosquitoes and other insects.
- Camera and Accessories: Don’t forget your camera, extra batteries and memory cards to capture the stunning landscapes and wildlife. A lens cleaning kit can also be handy.
- Daypack: A sturdy daypack is useful for carrying your essentials during game drives or short walks.
- Personal Medications and First Aid Kit: Include any personal medications you need, as well as a basic first aid kit with plasters, antiseptic cream, painkillers and remedies for common travel-related ailments like upset stomach or allergies.
- Travel Documents: Keep your passport, travel insurance details and any necessary visas accessible but secure.

Our Testimonials
" It was our first time in Kenya as a family and we were rather unsure of what to expect . We were well received at the airport by the Representative Faith and proceeded on safari to Amboseli. The food was excellent throughout and was all included in the price. Our favourite was Sentrim Amboseli which is a tented camp with modern facilities and has a great atmosphere. There was a wide variety of animals to view wherever we went and that’s a plus to the agent for being able to anticipate client’s needs. We would thoroughly recommend booking a trip with Kenya Tru Nomads Tours "

" We had a 10 day tour with them and have nothing but praise for them! The booking process was simple and Faith helped us all the way with our tour choices, providing informative support. Our Driver/guide was Shauri. He was intelligent, articulate, informative and courteous all the way. He is an expert in the field of game safaris. We were a party of 2 with him in a safari Land Cruiser for 10 days and it flew by. There are not that many friends I would be happy to share such a time with but Shauri was a pleasure to share time with. Tru Nomads delivered what the promised and more. I thoroughly recommend them.
