What to Bring safari clothesClothing Dress is casual in Botswana. Shorts and trousers are permissible for women. Most hotels have swimming pools, so remember to bring a bathing suit. In summer, lightweight, light-colored cottons or materials that wick away moisture are preferable. Avoid synthetic materials and black clothing, as they increase perspiration and discomfort. In winter, bring a pair of trousers, long-sleeved shirts or blouses and pullovers. Make sure you have a very warm jacket for early mornings and evenings - it does get surprisingly cold at night but warms up during the day. Particularly on safaris, wear neutral colors that allow you to blend in with the landscape and make you less visible to the wildlife. It is always a good idea to bring a lightweight jacket and/or sweater for unexpected temperature changes. A lightweight packable rain poncho or umbrella is handy in the summer rainy season. Footwear Comfortable walking shoes are a must; supplement with sandals or flip-flops. Sun protection Special attention should be given to protecting yourself from the sun, particularly in the summer when the sun can be scorching. Bring sunhat, sunscreen, after-sun lotion and sunglasses. Miscellaneous Binoculars, camera, flashlight (with plenty of spare batteries and bulbs), water bottle, insect repellent, lip salve, sewing kit, safety-pins, and tweezers are all very useful. A basic first-aid kit is a must, as in many instances you will be traveling to areas far from health facilities. Camera film is available at most shops and petrol stations. Cosmetics, medications, cigarettes and imported liquors are all available in the major towns. kwenaetsilesafari
