If “dress like you are shooting for a fashion magazine” is what you stick by, then welcome to my world soul sister! So, if you have booked your trip to Africa, dressing up right for a jungle safari should be your fashion mantra. When you are packing your stuff for the jungle safari, colors play an important role. I would recommend you to wear neutral safari colors like green, brown, khaki, beige/tan. These colors blend in well with the bush and are best suited for your jungle safari adventures.

WHAT TO WEAR ON SAFARI?

- Leggings work the best:
When it comes to jungle safari, leggings and an oversized shirt or sweater work the best. You can sport them whenever you are going outdoors or going out for dinners at camp. Moreover, they are super comfortable and essential for your long wildlife viewing drives.

- Packing asymmetrical layers:
All of us are aware of wearing layers, especially in climates that change on an hourly basis. So, when you are planning what to wear on safari, start packing your base layer of leggings and a sleeveless tunic. Also, go on adding a few layers of varying lengths. You can add a long-sleeved shirt that ends at your hips and then top it with a light jacket. Having different layers of clothing can make your basic outfit even more interesting.

- Basic accessories:
Accessories are a game-changer on a jungle safari. So, for starters, bring a few hats. Remember that you are not blow-drying your hair, so try covering your head with some accessory that gives you a sharp appearance. Also, try adding a scarf on a safari that you can drape around your shoulders or can be used to tie your hair.

- Choosing your perfect pair:
When you pack your stuff, shoes can add unnecessary pounds if you don’t pack the right ones. So, pack slippers for showering, sneakers for hiking, and ankle boots for late dinners. Ankle boots are closed, so you don’t have to worry about bugs attacking your feet, and they are glamorous too. They match your nighttime outfits and keeps you warm too.

A GUIDE TO CREATE THAT PERFECT LOOK:
- Day:
Always beat the heat in a comfortable pair of shorts with an easy-breezy t-shirt. Layer it with a safari jacket on top with light-weighted pants paired with nice ankle boots.

- Evening:
You can put on a nice maxi dress or a jumpsuit with gladiator sandals as you head out for a candlelight dinner at your camp.

- Night safari:
When you decide to head on to a night safari, it might get cold in the night. So, wear cargo pants with a warm polo neck tee and a utility jacket with high boots.
Also, whenever you plan for a trip to a jungle safari, make sure that you dress like a pro!
