What to Pack for a Northern Circuit Safari

Mornings on safari can be cold enough for a fleece, while afternoons often climb past 25°C, so layering is more useful than any single heavy jacket. Stick to neutral colours like khaki and olive rather than bright colours or all-black, which can attract insects. Beyond clothing, a decent pair of binoculars makes a real difference for spotting distant wildlife, and a dust-resistant camera bag is worth the extra weight. Malaria prophylaxis, sunscreen, and a wide-brimmed hat round out the essentials most guides recommend.
