Why Clothing Colour Guide?

  • While at Tanzania for Safari there will be too much dust. Though the amount will depend on the place and season, still you should be ready for it. Prefer wearing neutral colours like beige or khaki. Because other bright colours look dirty while on game drive but the neutral colours look cleaner
  • Animals react to bright colours so its advisable to wear neutral colours on your Safari to be safer when you encounter big animals.
  • Bright Colours especially red and blue attract Tsetse flies. That can cause sleeping diseases which can lead to death.
