What to Pack for a Luxury African Safari

Hello from A F R I C A. Pete and I just arrived and are excited to embark on our second African safari together! Today I want to feature everything I packed for our luxury safari in Tanzania. Think of this like the ultimate guide on maximizing all of the pieces that you will pack. Not going on a safari? These items still make excellent outfits for visiting a ranch, going hiking or and an outdoor adventure.  And don't worry, I will have a full debrief about our trip once we are back. If you are craving some travel content in the meantime, read about our 14-day South African adventure from 2 1/2 years ago here. It was truly the trip of a lifetime!

Below I have some mix and match outfit ideas to get the most out of what I have packed. The key is to bring neutrals that are both insect repellent and UPF sun-protectant. This will give you the most protection possible. This time of year, the weather is hot and dry, so packing lightweight pieces and layers is a must. Also, while we go out on game drives twice a day, there is plenty of downtime, so I have shown you how to style pieces for both safari and for relaxing.

Be sure to scroll through to the bottom of this post where my entire packing list is. The boutique will also include what I have packed for Pete!
