Safari Packing

It’s no coincidence that safari derives from the Swahili word for “journey.” This isn’t a long weekend in the Caribbean where you can pack a bikini and call it a day—to execute a safari demands significant planning. 

Safari-ing  can present challenges and Upon Arrival is giving you all the inspiration and information you need. 

Light Layers 

Early morning rides can be a little chilly, with temperatures rising as the sun comes up.  Opt for pure cotton and linen fabrication in soft shades (think cream, beige, khaki)

Pack: Safari Jacket, Lightweight button down, or fleece 

Create Pairings

Pre-selected outfits are a lifesaver, and versatility is the way to go.  For 3 nights on safari you will want to pack two of these layerable uniforms as they will be washed daily. 

Pack: A combo of long sleeve tops, short sleeve, light loose jogger pants or leggings. 

Smart Accessories

• Hat 
• Scarf
• Sunglasses
• Binoculars
• Bathsuit
• Sandals with good grip 

Pack: A baseball cap or bucket hat is way more packable and generally a more practical alternative.
