Blending In with Nature: Choosing the Right Colors for Your Safari Clothing

When preparing for a safari adventure, the color of your clothing is more important than you might think. It’s not just about style it’s about function, comfort, and blending seamlessly into the wild. The right colors can enhance your experience, while the wrong ones might even ruin it. So, what should you wear?

Stick to earthy, neutral tones like khaki, olive green, beige, and light brown. These colors help you blend into your surroundings, making you less noticeable to wildlife. Animals feel more at ease when they don’t sense human presence, which means better and closer sightings for you. Avoid bright colors like red, blue, orange, and white. These can startle animals and attract unnecessary attention, especially from insects like tsetse flies, which are drawn to dark blues and blacks.

Another important factor is the environment you’ll be exploring. In dry savannah regions, lighter colors reflect the sun’s heat and keep you cooler. In forested or jungle areas, darker neutrals can help you blend into the shady undergrowth. Whatever the landscape, staying natural and muted is key.

At Wildlife Outdoor Gear Shop, we stock safari clothing in the perfect shades for your journey designed to keep you comfortable, protected, and in tune with nature. Visit us today and gear up the right way for your next unforgettable safari!

The right gear makes all the difference when frolicking outdoors. Whether you’re a beginner hiker or a veteran, this comprehensive guide covers all the must-have gear for a successful backpacking trip.

When I first started backpacking, I had accumulated a hodgepodge of cheap gear that I either bought or received second-hand. That worked for awhile, but as I backpacked more and more, I began to replace my original gear with things that worked better for me. That is, with gear that was affordable and functional without comprising on quality. With each hike, I learned what I did and didn’t need, and what was worth splurging on or where I could save a few dollars. Now, after hundreds of miles hiking and backpacking (and much trial-and-error) I am happy with all the gear I own and believe I have better outdoor experiences with it. This isn’t to say that good gear equates to good experiences. No, the outdoor warm-and-fuzzies come from a deeper place than that. But the right gear sure can help.

It is my hope that this gear list will help propel beginner hikers into the backpacking space with confidence, while also being beneficial to the backpacking veterans among us. And for even more recommendations, check out Essential Gear For Day Hiking.

The gear on this list fits the following criteria:

  • Affordable | Some big ticket items are splurge-worthy, but the bulk of my gear is budget-friendly or priced in the mid-range.

  • Quality | I seek products that are affordable without sacrificing quality. Personally, I’m willing to invest (reasonably) if it will last me.

  • Waterproof | Being in the PNW, I need to keep dry and warm while frolicking in the elements.

  • Lightweight | Every ounce counts when backpacking! I like to stay light by using gear that can be easily packed down.

Now, just one wee note before diving in: Wildlife outdoor gear shop ug is my main outdoor store so the majority of these products are found there. Many can also be found at your local outfitter or directly with the manufacturer. Second hand stores in your area may also have deals on these items which is a great place to look for gear!
