Plan your Tanzania journey
What to wear in Tanzania
Comfort, layers and respect for the places you visit.
On safari
Choose comfortable, subdued colours and breathable clothing. Early starts can be cool; a warm layer and light wind or rain protection are useful. Closed shoes are practical around camp and on agreed walks.
In the foothills
Waterfall trails may be slippery, so use shoes with a good grip. Bring a rain layer and clothing that lets you move comfortably. A gentle coffee visit needs less equipment than a park day hike.
On the coast and in communities
Beachwear belongs at the beach or pool. Dress respectfully in towns, villages and religious places, following your local guide’s advice. Carry a light layer for sun protection and more modest coverage.
