Wondering what to Pack for an African Family Safari trip? Packing for a Safari is a little bit of a challenge if you want to be stylish and still be under the baggage size limits for the small bush planes.  Shop in your closet first for some basic beige and neutral staples and add a couple of layers in the form of jackets or sweaters in olives and khakis and you got yourself a Meryl Streep inspired \u2018Out of Africa<\/strong>\u2019 wardrobe without having to break the bank.  <\/p>\n\n\n

I ended up just buying each of the kids an olive shirt and olive pants for the trip and hiking pants from Columbia for Mr. Suburbia, other than that we really just picked some tans and brown clothes from what we already had. Here are my tips on what to pack for a family safari trip including a packing checklist<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most safari lodges and camps will include laundry services, so really less is more when it comes to packing for your Family Safari trip.  Remember you can only bring 15 kg or about 25 lbs per person on the small planes. I was pretty proud when everyone from guides to local airline staff, who handled our bags commented on how light we had packed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
