What to Pack for a Kenya Safari

Neutral-coloured clothing (khaki, olive, tan) works best for game drives — avoid bright white and dark blue/black, which can attract insects.

Mornings and evenings on safari get genuinely cold, especially in open vehicles — pack a warm layer even in the dry season.

Essentials: sunscreen, insect repellent, a wide-brimmed hat, binoculars, a good camera or phone zoom lens, and any personal medication (plus antimalarials if advised by your doctor).

For beach add-ons, pack separately — lightweight, breathable clothing for the coast is very different from safari layers.
