Safari Accessories

Safari accessories include all the small items necessary on an African hunt - gloves, sunglasses, gaiters, scarves and belts.

Sunglasses are a real necessity in the bright sun of Africa.
Take a couple of pairs of sunglasses in case one gets broken.
Always wear your sunglasses or regular glasses when you are travelling on your hunt vehicle when it is moving. They will prevent the collision of a big flying insect and your eye. A small fly in the eye is a nuisance but a large one can really mess up possibly your shooting eye.
If you are going to a particularly dusty destination like Masailand, a pair of wraparound yellow lens glasses are very useful at dusk. On the drive back to camp, you can see in the dim light and not get dust in your eyes.
If you chose to wear sunglasses while you are actually hunting, make sure they do not have shiny parts or a mirror finish.

Don't forget your gloves if you are used to wearing them for shooting.
Bring warm gloves for the cold mornings or evenings especially when you are riding in the hunting truck.

A large cotton neckerchief, bandana or scarf is useful to wear for absorbing sweat and wiping your face and neck. It also makes an emergency bandage or sling.
A warm scarf may also be necessary for cold mornings.

A strong belt is necessary for all the things hunters like to carry - ammunition pouch, knife, small first aid kit, GPS, multi-tool...the list goes on.

These safari accessories are essential if you wear short hunting boots.
Boot gaiters prevent thorns, grass seeds and burrs, sand or any debris from getting into your boots.
Make sure they are made of sturdy canvas and hook securely in place
