Do you need a rain jacket for safari?
Do you need a rain jacket for safari? We highly recommend you bring a lightweight rain jacket or poncho and rain pants, as occasional showers are likely.
What if it rains on safari?
So be assured that whether it rains or not your safari will go on. Unless it rains cats and dogs, the amount of rain you get on your safari day may be really ignorable and doesn't affect anything. Usually it's only slight drizzles and nothing heavy, so it cannot affect your activity and your safari at large.
Is a poncho better than a raincoat?
Ponchos offer greater coverage and can be more suitable for regions with heavy rain or unpredictable weather. They provide excellent protection for both the wearer and their gear, keeping you dry even in windy conditions.
What colours Cannot wear on safari?
What NOT to Wear on Safari. Dark colours attract Tsetse flies, so stay away from dark blue or black clothing – they have a painful bite! Now that you know what to wear, make sure you know how to pack. Most safari operators will ask that you only bring one suitcase, one overnight duffle bag, and one day pack.
