Safari Boots - For African Hunting


Getting your safari boots right is essential - you're going to spend a lot of time on your feet.



Characteristics and functions of a good pair of hunting boots

  • Buy the best quality rather than a cheaper option.
  • Check the terrain you'll be hunting before the purchase of new boots. This will help with the decision on tread pattern.
  • Opt for the softest sole as hard soles make more noise.
  • Make sure the boots are well-fitting and well worn in. Don't arrive with brand new unworn boots.
  • Some waterproofing may be useful but it is not essential.
  • Have a spare pair of equally comfortable boots in case your main pair get wet. There is nothing worse than walking in soaking boots.
  • Use whatever boot length is comfortable for you. It is often useful to be able to tuck your trousers in, so tsetses and grass-seeds cannot gain access.
  • Don't forget to bring spare laces.
