Uganda Safari Clothes
Uganda safari clothes are the attires you should carry during your safari to Uganda. A lot of tourists do not pay attention to what to carry for your safari because of the stereotypes about Africa being hot however it is wise enough to check the information about the weather of the country that you are planning to visit the next time.
Different places in Uganda experience different climatic conditions causing specific climatic changes thus you know which type of clothes you need to wear for a safari in Uganda. There are many reasons why Uganda Safari clothes are very important for the Uganda Safari like the part of the country you are planning to go for a safari, the destination you are visiting in Uganda, the time of the year you are planning to visit, and then the main activity that you are going to carry out in the specified destination.
UGANDA SAFARI CLOTHES ARE BASED ON THE PART OF THE COUNTRY
Uganda Safari clothes can be chosen based on the part of the country that you are intending to visit for the safari since some parts are hot and others are cold thus requiring specific clothes to wear for example those visiting the Northern part of Uganda, you need to carry light clothes, however, if you are planning to take a safari to the hilly western region you need to carry some heavy clothes to cope with the coldness there.
The general climatic conditions of Uganda and the neighboring East African countries have tropical climates in general but in a different way in the northern parts of Uganda the weather there is warm compared to the western part of Uganda and this is realized more especially when you take a trip to Murchison Falls National Park for game drives, Nile boat cruise where the weather there is warmer during the day but at night it might be cold though comfortable.
UGANDA SAFARI CLOTHES BASED ON THE DESTINATION
Different national parks and tourist destinations require different dress codes and specific clothes depending on different reasons like the vegetation cover, and weather of the place if you are planning for a safari to Kibale national park for Chimpanzee trekking, you need to put on long-sleeved shirts which are appropriate to prevent your skin from scratches from the thick undergrowth in Kibale forest and same applies to Bwindi impenetrable national park and Mgahinga Gorilla National Park for gorilla trekking. But when visiting Queen Elizabeth national park for game drives, you can put on the light sleeves tops, shirts, and vests but always remember to carry insect repellent for the game drives in Murchison Falls National Park and Lake Mburo National Park you can put on light clothes since the place is warm during the day and cooler in the evening.
UGANDA SAFARI CLOTHES BASED ON ACTIVITIES
