Clothing
Neutral tones (khaki, olive, sand) are traditionally recommended to avoid standing out to wildlife and insects; avoid bright colours and all-white or all-black, since dark colours can attract tsetse flies in some areas. Layers for cool mornings, breathable fabric for midday heat.
Footwear
Comfortable closed shoes for game drives and walking safaris; sandals for camp downtime and, if adding a coastal extension, the beach.
Essentials
A wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, high-SPF sunscreen, insect repellent, and any personal medication in carry-on luggage rather than checked bags.
Photography Equipment
A telephoto lens (200mm or longer) is generally recommended for wildlife photography; most camps offer charging facilities, but a portable battery pack is a reasonable backup on longer game drives.
What to Leave Behind
Camouflage clothing is prohibited for civilians in Tanzania; heavy or excessive luggage is impractical given weight restrictions on light aircraft transfers between camps, typically limited to soft-sided bags around 15kg per person — confirm exact limits with your specialist based on your specific flights.
