## Master the Art of Safari Packing ### Clothing Essentials - **Neutral Colors**: Khaki, beige, olive, and brown blends into the bush and avoids attracting tsetse flies (avoid navy blue & black). - **Layering**: Early morning game drives start chilly (12°C / 53°F) before warming up to 28°C / 82°F by mid-day. - **Footwear**: Sturdy walking shoes or light hiking boots for bush walks. ### Luggage Restrictions Domestic safari flights (e.g. Flightlink / Coastal Aviation to Serengeti) enforce a strict **15kg (33lbs) soft duffel bag limit** per passenger.
