Imagine toasting to the African sunset as the golden sky fades into hues of orange, rose, and deep indigo over the endless savannah.

Whether you're with a partner, friends, or simply savoring the solitude, it's an unforgettable end to your day in the wild only with Wild & Sand Travels.
Soar silently over the vast plains of the Serengeti or the baobab-dotted landscapes of Tarangire at the break of dawn, as the first light paints the horizon in soft golds and fiery oranges. From a bird’s eye view, the wilderness awakens beneath you elephants meander through acacia groves, giraffes stride gracefully across open grasslands, and early rising predators begin their daily hunt. The silence of the skies allows you to fully absorb the raw beauty of Africa, with nothing but the gentle whoosh of the balloon above and the breathtaking landscape below. As your hot air balloon drifts gently back to earth, a luxurious surprise awaits a lavish bush breakfast laid out in the middle of the wild.

There are no strict dress codes for an African safari. Generally, we recommend wearing khaki or light-grey-colored shorts or pants, paired with a T-shirt or shirt. A fleece jacket is advisable for cooler evenings and mornings. Footwear should include closed shoes with sturdy soles for savannah adventures, and comfortable options for relaxing at the lodge. Additionally, remember to pack sunglasses and a hat for sun protection.
In terms of colors, it's best to avoid white, which shows dust easily, blue, which attracts Tsetse flies, and camouflage patterns, which in African countries are reserved for the military.
Wondering what to wear while exploring Tanzania’s wild side? The right outfit makes all the difference. Lightweight, neutral-colored clothes (think khaki, beige, or olive) are best for blending in with nature and staying cool. Avoid dark blues (they attract tsetse flies), bright whites (they show dirt fast), and military patterns (illegal in Tanzania)
Don’t forget layers for chilly mornings, a wide-brim hat, sunglasses, and good walking shoes. Whether you’re in the Serengeti or Selous, Wild & Sand Travels has your adventure wardrobe sorted
