Clothing Generally throughout the year casual comfortable clothes are worn, blouses, shirts, shorts or light skirts are best. Some hotels in Windhoek do not permit jeans although they are useful on safari. Jerseys and jackets are necessary for winter mornings and evenings. Dull colours are more suitable on safari, white is not practical. In winter, warmer clothing is needed and track suits are very useful for sleeping in on safari.
Comfortable shoes are essential.
Accessories Sunblock lotion, sunglasses, hats and insect repellents are essential. Binoculars are an absolute must. If you are a keen photographer, the most important aspect to remember is to bring enough film. Finding your preferred film may not be possible, but some camps and lodges do have a limited range of film for sale. The same principle applies to batteries.
