Camouflage clothes are illegal in many African countries. Solid-colored safari clothes, however, are practical and widely available. Chinos and khakis work better than jeans, which take forever to try. Laundry service is available at most lodges and even tented camps, but be very clear about when you need your clothes returned. Take at least three changes of clothes for a week on safari, plus your own detergent to wash a few things.
Dry cleaners are more rare than rhinos.
Some hotels have hairdryers in every room and there are beauty salons in Nairobi, but remember, you will be wearing a hat most days. The best advice is to travel light, and wear cotton. On international flights, each person is allowed a maximum of two pieces of luggage with a combined weight not exceeding 44 pounds. We recommend two smaller bags rather than one large suitcase. While you're on safari, additional baggage can be safely stored at your hotel.
