What to Pack for a Kenya Safari
A simple packing list covering clothing, documents, health items, and safari essentials.
Pack light, breathable layers in neutral colors, plus a warm fleece or jacket for early morning drives. Comfortable shoes matter more than fashion-heavy outfits.
Bring sunscreen, insect repellent, sunglasses, a hat, reusable water bottle, camera batteries, chargers, travel documents, and any personal medication.
Soft-sided luggage is easier for safari vehicles and light aircraft. If your trip includes the coast, add swimwear and lighter evening clothing.

Very helpful guide. The packing tips are practical, especially the reminder about warm layers for early morning drives.

I would love a follow-up article on camera gear and binocular recommendations for first-time safari travellers.
