Kenya Safari Checklist Days on safari are generally hot and call for summer light cloths (shorts and t-shirt). In the mornings and evenings, long-sleeved shirts and pants are better and will also protect you from mosquitoes. For those sensitive to the sun, a loose cotton shirt a good bet during the day, as is sunscreen.

Kenya Safari Checklist For colder mornings, layering clothing helps keep you warm and is a convenient way to ensure you are wearing what you need as the day heats up. Some lodges have a dress code, but this is quite liberal, with some restrictions on shorts and swimsuits in the evening (especially when having diner).
