Knowing what to wear on a safari holiday can be confusing. If you are planning a safari trip to South Africa then depending on where you go will help you decide on what to take. The climates can differ even within one country drastically often depending a lot on the altitude.

South Africa is usually hot even in its cooler months, the temperatures rarely drop below that of a warm day in the UK.

Although it is warm you may need to take long sleeved tops and long legged trousers, especially if you are going to be trekking in the bush. Getting clothing that is made from breathable material will keep you slightly cooler and always remember to take a sun hat or cap with you. Also do not forget to pack a high factor sun screen and also a decent pair of shades to protect your eyes in the bright sunlight.
