What to pack for Chobe

Clothing while on safari should be light and loose-fitting. Most people on safari wear green, brown or khaki cotton clothing - try to avoid white or bright colours. A sunhat is essential, along with lightweight walking boots and waterproof sandals (river rafting type sandals are perfect).

In the dry season the days are mild and sunny so shorts, T-shirts, cotton tops and sweat shirts are ideal. With night time temperatures plummeting it is advisable to pack trousers, a fleece/thick jersey, jacket and even a woollen hat or beanie.

The rainy season has hot days and mild nights, but many travellers pack long-sleeved tops and trousers as protection against mosquitoes. A light rain jacket would be advisable.
