Safari Checklist
It is important to wear olive green or dark camo to fit in with the vegetation. This improves one’s chances when stalking animals. Most colouration camouflage clothing works well in the Eastern Cape terrain. Non-hunters are to pack dark khaki or camouflage clothing if they will be joining the hunting party.
If anything is forgotten, the majority of items are freely available in South Africa.
