Your best bet is to go for natural materials like cotton and linen and steer clear of synthetics. As most desert activities require strolling the sands in direct sunlight, it’s important to keep yourself covered.
Wearing shorts may be a good idea, but we couldn’t stress enough that trousers are the best clothing for a desert safari.
Deserts can get surprisingly cold at night. A windproof shell will protect against gusts. For cooler months or nights, a fleece pullover is ideal. Fleece dries quickly and can be used as a pillow in a pinch.
When on safari, you should avoid wearing vividly cultured apparel. This is because it’s important to stay out of sight in order to observe the animals’ natural behaviour. Brightly coloured apparel can attract attention and occasionally frighten away animals.
Bring nothing with busy designs or bright colours on it.
Steer clear of camouflage apparel because certain African nations exclusively allow military personnel to wear it.
Dark clothing attracts Tsetse flies, which can bite painfully. Avoid wearing dark blue or black clothing!
