Adapting to Park Climates

Visitors to our parks and reserves encounter varied weather depending on the season and time of visit. Pack adaptable clothing. Many parks sit at low altitudes with warm-to-hot days and cool-to-cold nights.

Recommended Clothing

Choose layerable outfits: start rugged in the morning and peel off layers as it warms.

  • Loose-fitting long trousers and shirts/T-shirts

  • Hat and sunglasses for sun protection

  • Lace-up shoes

Opt for natural, earth-toned, or khaki colors. Buy local safari outfits at nearby shops.

Useful Guides and Maps

Pick up a bird guide, mammal guide, and country map from our gift shops.

Pack these in your bag:

  • Torch (flashlight)
