A little ‘get ready with me’ Safari style! 🦁 Packing for this trip had me in a total head spin and I had no idea what I needed for our morning and afternoon game drives. So here’s what I ended up wearing every day! 

For reference, we were in ZimbabweBotswana and then maybe in August. Obviously weather in different Safari countries throughout the year will change, but morning and post sunset drives can get *cold* so layers tend to be a good idea for a lot of the year. 

My top tips are:
• Layer up! it may be really cold when you leave your hotel, but within an hour or so the heat rises a lot. So where about three layers of clothes when you leave for a morning game drive.
• similarly, go out with your bass layers on for an afternoon game drive and bring hoodies and long trousers for after the sunsets.
• pack a hat! I thought I was really stupid for bringing this at one point (when I arrived and was wearing denim shorts and vest during the day). But you need it for morning drives 
• thermals are a light packers essential for varying weather. The heattech ones are my faves!
• I did game drives, Rhino Tracking on foot, walks and treks during our trip in my Adidas trainers. Obviously you might want hiking boots for strenuous hikes, but they’re not essential for all trips! 
• clothing aside, another essential for game drives is moisturisers! Wear thick moisturiser and high SPF on your face and body, leave in conditioner in your hair, and lip SPF. The dust, sand and dry air means you really need it! I used @larocheposay cicaplast baume on my face, along with Boots factor 50 SPF. 

This probably isn’t the most glamorous get ready with me for Safari video, but at least you’ll be cozy! I know the tips you share with those planning to go on Safari?!
