AFE Suggested Packing List
Packing, Weather and
Sustainable, Budget Friendly Clothing.
As most of us know, global weather patterns around the world are changing. Tropical Thailand can be icy cold during winter months and Kenya can be unexpectedly wet (or dry) the best advice is to expect the unexpected and dress in layers. Your sunrise game drive may start out chilly and damp and by noon you'll be hot.
​
You don't need to spend a fortune getting the latest quick dry, super expensive, adventure store clothing. One way to make your trip more sustainable is to head on over to your local thrift or second hand store.
Safari vests, zip up cargo pants, long sleeve shirts are just a few of the items you can find. Second hand clothing is a great way save money!
