What to Pack for Your Amboseli June Safari
Start by having an open mind and be ready to enjoy the adventure. Bring enough storage space for photos and videos so you can keep memories of your trip.
Wear comfortable clothes. Avoid heavy or tight clothing. Choose clothes that are easy to wash and dry quickly in case you need to reuse them during the safari.
Avoid bright colors, especially during game drives, as they may disturb the animals. Game drives are usually done in the early morning when it is cool.
Carry warm clothes, but wear layers so you can adjust as the day gets warmer.
