The Best Safari Luggage

By Mara Balagtas and Lale Arikoglu

Choosing the right luggage for a safari can make or break the trip: One day, you might be rumbling along Botswana’s lush delta with nothing to protect your camera, and the next, you're boarding a tiny domestic aircraft that prohibits all suitcases with wheels. You'll need to pack light to adhere to strict weight limits, but still invest in something that can hold enough layers for warm days and cool nights, as well as a bag to hold all your gear while actually out on a game drive. Here, our picks of the best luggage to take on safari—from camera bags and dopp kits to backpacks and duffels.

All products featured in this story are independently selected by our editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, we may earn an affiliate commission.

A backpack is going to be your best friend when you're out on a game drive all day. Choose one with plenty of pockets and compartments to hold everything from a change of clothes, to camera batteries, to sunscreen, and if you can, go for a roll top version that can be stashed away in your larger duffle when you don't need it.

Heritage backpack ($65, herschel.com ).

Classic Duffel Bags

"You're usually on rough terrain once outside of the international airport, so wheels are not that helpful on safari," says West Coast editor Rebecca Misner. And given that most safari camps are only accessible by small propeller planes, hard-sided luggage is a no-go. Instead, invest in a soft-sided duffle that's roomy enough to hold everything you need for the week, but still meets all the requirements of your jumper plane.

While you still need all your beauty essentials (there's cocktail hour back at camp, after all), you don't want a dopp kit that takes up too much space. Opt for a soft one that can be squeezed easily down the side of a bag.

Technical Duffel Bags

On safari, you never know what the day will bring. Find a bag that has a water-repellant shell and detachable straps that allow you to sling it over your shoulder—or even transform it into a backpack—at a moment's notice.

What to pack for safari

By Lydia Bell

When creating a packing list for safari, the brief is to blend functionality and a modicum of style into about 15 kilograms – roughly the luggage allowance on the bush planes that whisk safari guests to lodges, though it might be even less. By all means splash out on fancy gadgets or study stills from Out of Africa to create a mood board for a capsule wardrobe, if that sparks joy. (For specific suggestions on the items below, browse our fashion editor’s  'what to wear on safari' .)

What luggage should I take on safari?

To carry the clobber, choose a soft-sided suitcase or duffel bag, nothing with a hard shell. “Even though it’s tempting to take your much-loved wheelie,” says writer Harriet Compston, “this can fit into the light aircraft much more easily.” Conservation writer Sarah Marshall goes everywhere with fabric or tarp-based water-resistant luggage from Eastpak or Osprey, especially the latter’s  Rolling Transporter 60 . As a day bag, safari writer Jane Broughton swears by the  Sealand moonbag made in her hometown Cape Town from recycled nylon and sailcloth. “It’s just big enough for my passport, purse and phone while travelling, then great for game drives and walks to store sunglasses, lip balm, SPF and tissues close to hand.” Those carrying extra lenses for cameras or binoculars will need a larger day pack.

What clothes should I pack for a safari?

Comfort is crucial, and these days, as Jane Broughton notes, “stylish athleisure wear is perfectly acceptable”. She means leggings rather than tracksuits, but overall a safari wardrobe is a simple capsule of comfortable layer items in shades of neutral earth tones, creams and greens that will traverse the gamut of chilly mornings in an open vehicle, blazing midday sun, and everything in between. Avoid camouflage (associated solely with the military in some countries) and bright colours. Also, avoid dark colours, metallic fabric and blues - the tsetse fly is attracted to them.

These are the must-have clothing items to pack for a safari holiday

• On the savannah, stretchy  trousers , jodhpurs, cargos, utility trousers or soft drawstring trousers in khaki or earthy muted shades can be matched with  t-shirts – “Those that contain polygiene are great,” advises Sarah Marshall.
• UPF50 Patagonia tops and long-sleeved linen shirts (that don’t require ironing and can be hand washed in cold water) in similar colours. “I love zip-off cargo trousers, which are shorts and trousers in one,” says Sarah Marshall.
• Sunrise and sunset will demand a light, neutral-coloured safari  jacket as the temperature will drop. A lightweight  fleece or cashmere  hoodie is handy for nippy moments, and a thin Uniqlo puffer jacket or primaloft jacket that scrunches up to nothing. Safari maestro Lisa Grainger takes a water- and wind-proof thin jacket that rolls into a ball.
• Necessary accessories include a roomy but lightweight  scarf as an easy and versatile accessory that can be draped over shoulders during game drives for sun or dust protection, used for coverage when a cool breeze sets in or for al fresco eating in the evenings, or wrapped around hair to protect it from dust. Alice Gully, co-owner of Aardvark Safari, is a fan of the  kikoy – that sarong-like wrap-around ubiquitous on the Swahili coast of East Africa, especially Kenya . “These are so useful and multipurpose – as a scarf if you are cold, a wrap on the beach, a makeshift towel, or something to mop up child-induced incidents. They also wash and dry quickly.”

• A safari  hat is obligatory – a panama, wide-brimmed leather hat or Akubra is nice, but if space is at a premium, any wide-brimmed hat that can be crushed to fit luggage. Or as Will Bolsover, founder of Natural World Safari puts it, “a  cap or  beanie – whether it’s hot or cold, just cover your head!”
• Safaris can get cold! In the  winter months of May , June , July and Aug , a beanie and a cashmere scarf can replace the wide-brimmed hat and linen scarf, and lined gloves and thicker socks come into play. Africa Travel Centre co-owner Frances Geoghegan packs thermals and a torch for early winter mornings – and if you’re cold-blooded Australian travel writer Chloe Sachdev you bring a  hot-water bottle  everywhere, too (the best lodges do tend to pop them into the vehicle every morning in winter).

• Footwear seems to divide opinions. Some favour  ankle boots for support and protection: many prefer  trail shoes (more nimble for hopping in and out of vehicles and for bush walks, they dry quicker and are less hot).  Depending on personal preference, hiking boots work for walking safari that involves hours trudging through the bush but aren’t necessary for quicker tracking experiences. Don’t, says Nairobi-based travel writer Wendy Watta, bother with trainers. “I packed them once in the rainy season and they got ruined, plus trekking through thorny bushes my skin got pricked the entire time”. Pack different shoes for camp – breathable  sandals or  flip-flops for hot days.
• Don’t overlook socks. Lisa Grainger recommends  Smartwool socks, which are a stretch-blend of merino wool from New Zealand.
• High-quality  polarised sunglasses cut down on glare and eye strain when peering into the bush.
• Don’t forget your  swimming costume if the lodges have pools.
• Bring extra undies. Lisa Grainger warns that many lodges won’t wash them so she always brings a little packet of powder for an overnight wash and dry.

What gadgets should I take on safari?

• Dust off the  SLR camera and telephoto lenses . Sarah Marshall suggests a  mirrorless camera : “These are the lightest and have a really high frame rate per second, so you can catch all the action. I’d recommend a Nikon Z6i with a 100-400mm lens. I use a Z9 but that’s more of a pro level.”
• A  GoPro is also a fun addition to a game-drive, and has a stabilisation tool which works well on bouncy game drives.

• Binoculars are key, especially in parks where off-roading is banned. “Whilst a limited number of lodges do provide individual binoculars, the majority do not. This invariably leads to guests having to rely on borrowing their guides’ pair for a few seconds of snatched clarity. Much better to bring your own pair and be able to fully appreciate truly wonderful sights like the face of the white headed vulture,” advises Frances Geoghegan. “The best in the business are  Swarovski Optik , but try to make sure that the pair have specifications of 8x40 and 10x42. They will be the one item of kit you will not regret."
• A  Leatherman is always handy. “It doesn’t matter whether you have a flat tyre, or need to open a beer, this is essential,” argues Will Bolsover. “But remember to take it out of your hand luggage, as it’s not popular with airport security.”
• A  powerful torch for deep dark nights in the bush is essential. “The  Fenix LD30  torch is the best compact torch with five brightness settings,” Will Jones,  founder of Journeys by Design, enthuses, “And reassuringly solid and metal in your hand.” Lisa Grainger is a  head torch fan – that classic scout accessory. “It means you have your hands free in a tent to unpack and can see what you are doing.”
• If going entirely off the beaten track, a  satellite phone is tempting, and more than useful. Will Jones uses the  Thuraya phone for jaunts into the wilds of Sudan, Chad and Eritrea.
• Most top-end lodges provide yoga mats but just in case Sarah Marshall brings a travel mat from  Yoga Bare .

What toiletries should I take on safari?

• “Instead of filling my wash bag with newly-bought boxes of endless travel medication like Dioralyte or Imodium, I take my  St John’s Ambulance first aid kit ,” says travel writer Harriet Compston. “I’ve had it for 20 years and just keep on restocking it. It’s more compact and squashable in suitcases and it contains some serious plasters.”
• Will Jones never goes anywhere without  rehydration salts . “Nine times out of ten the wobbles on the road are resolved with a good salt and sugar rebalance,” he believes. Alice Gully, co-owner of Aardvark Safaris, seconds that and adds  dissolvable paracetamol .
• For “ t ired travel skin, dry lips, and too much sun”, Alice Gully also loves  Elizabeth Arden Eight-hour cream or  Bio Oil as an all-purpose salve.
• Contact-lense-wearer Will Bolsover swears by  Optrex Eye spray – “an essential for minimising eye problems”.
• For those who need to go into battle against insects, Wendy Watta advises a  fly-swatter . “Nothing prepares you for the tsetse flies, and how hard they sting. In my experience, insect repellent only takes you so far.” Travel writer Mary Holland has started travelling with  an insect bite healer . “It’s a small battery-operated device that takes the itch out of bites. It’s life-changing!” Either way, don’t forget to pack 30-per-cent-Deet  repellent .
• When it comes to  bathroom goodies , “try and think sustainably when packing,” implores Jane Broughton. “Top lodges have gorgeous carefully chosen eco-friendly bathroom products that are biodegradable. To bring one’s own high-end products, like hair masks, is disrespectful to the environment and owners and staff who are trying to keep soak-aways to a minimum and the environment around camp unpolluted. For a few days, everyone can make do with the in-room supplied shampoo and conditioner. Bring your own earth- or ocean-friendly  sun lotion , as well.” Australian brand  Ultra Violette makes SPF50 mineral-based formulas that protect, nourish and hydrate skin but don’t contain oxybenzone.
• Other useful first-aid items include  motion-sickness tablets for bush planes and  anti-histamine tablets.

Extra pro tips for your next safari

• Check the requirements for  anti-malarial medication  (check the  NHS’s Fit For Travel web pages for the malaria maps of each country) and an International Certificate of Vaccination  ( Rwanda , Uganda and Tanzania may require one, especially to show you’ve been vaccinated against yellow fever).
• To help those who are stuck on which clothing brands would be best for safari, some  operators have launched their own range of safari clothing . Dereck and Beverly Joubert’s  D&B Explorer Collection , includes a lightweight bamboo scarf, men’s linen shirts, a button-down linen dress, military-style jackets and more.
• The savannah can handle a khaki safari suit, but when tracking chimpanzees or gorillas in Rwanda or Uganda, as Praveen Moman, founder of Volcanoes Safaris says, “the cliché of safari wear doesn’t work”. High-altitude forest – up to 9000 feet –can be glaringly sunny or extremely, and suddenly, damp, requires different sorts of layers – moisture-wicking base layers, thin fleeces and rain jackets and decent waterproof hiking boots with a grip (Sarah Marshall recommends  Merrell’s range with Goretex ). “The weather can change, it can rain at any time, it can be cold and it can be sunny. The UV light at high altitude can be very strong and can burn those with sensitive skin, so the right sun cream with a sun hat and sunglasses is essential. It’s also critical to have strong footwear that allows you to walk through mud and exposed roots and it gives you a grip in slush.”
