The complete answer to this, as I will reveal, differs by season and by country. In this guide I will be concentrating on South Africa, but much of the information will apply to other destinations. The images on Safari websites mostly show very few people and those you do see are perfectly ‘attired’ in the ‘traditional’ khaki. It is likely that most, but not all, of these people are locals. However, there are some general principles © Okonjima 2 | The insider’s guide to What to Wear on Safari Neutral colours for Safari Clothing If you don’t own any clothing in neutral colours, it is not really necessary to buy it just for the safari, unless you are intending to do a proper walking safari (see box). ©Norman Carr Safaris However if you are staying at one of the smarter game lodges, many fellow guests will have the classic safari gear (in brown, khaki or green) and you may want to blend in with your fellow guests and not just with the bush. This is a matter of personal preference. However, please don’t feel that you need to dress like Robert Redford in ‘Out of Africa’, however positive the connotations. Nothing marks a person out as a tourist as much as being dressed head to toe in khaki and wearing a photographer’s jacket! 3 | The insider’s guide to What to Wear on Safari What to wear through the Seasons in South Africa The above principles remain the same throughout the year. But your packing will change with the seasons… Dry winter season from June to mid August (Wet winter in the Cape) Autumn Extra Variable Spring - tip… fromApril Mid August to to May September (September to (mid March to October in the mid May in the Cape) Summer Cape) November to March (Mediterranean in the Cape) Summer rainfall in the rest of Southern Africa 4 | The insider’s guide to What to Wear on Safari What to Wear in Winter June to mid-August During winter, you will need to pack a range of clothing as the South African winter varies in intensity from province to province. © Simbavati In the Cape, where the winters are similar to Mediterranean Europe (think Spain or Italy or Southern USA), the hotels and lodges are reasonably well-equipped with under-floor heating, fireplaces, even electric blankets! You also might have some rain in the Cape so come prepared with a rainproof jacket. The rest of the country has dry winter with pleasant sunny days. It is not uncommon for the daytime temperatures to be 25 °C so bring some lightweight shirts and t-shirts as well. © Wolwedans Namibia 5 | The insider’s guide to What to Wear on Safari However it’s the diurnal range in winter which usually flummoxes visitors. A South African may say that it’s 25 °C during the day, but forget to mention that the day could have started at around 5 °C. In fact it’s the clear sunny days which produce the sudden drop in evening temperatures when there is no cloud cover. If you are on safari in June or July, you will need to come fully prepared with hats, jackets and so on. The South African game lodges do not have central heating and are fairly open to the elements. So you will need to wrap up warmly in the evening and to take spare clothing for the game drive (for after the sun sets). Did you know? Swimwear: very few hotels have heated pools so you probably won’t swim in winter unless you head to the sub-tropical beach destinations or stay at a hotel with a spa. Extra tip… I also like to throw in a hot water bottle (easily purchased in South Africa) just in case your hotel bed does not have an electric blanket.it is also handy for early morning game drives and al fresco boma dinners (though many of the more switched-on game lodges now provide them). (See our Packing List at the end of the Guide) 6 | The insider’s guide to What to Wear on Safari What to Wear in Spring Mid-August to September (and to October down in the Cape) The ‘shoulder months’ of Spring are always tricky ones as far as packing is concerned. Temperatures may vary wildly within an average two week holiday period as you never know when Winter will change to Spring or Spring to Summer… © Governors Kenya Spring-like weather starts in late August - later in Cape Town and on the Garden Route, but there is no guarantee of this. As in Europe and the States, spring often brings variable weather – beautiful for days and then a bit cold and rainy for a day or two. Rain might occur if you are in the Cape. Hats and umbrellas can be purchased easily if needed. Did you know? So bring a variety of clothes- both warm and hot weather options – t-shirts, short-sleeved tops, pedal pushers, swim gear – especially if you are spending time in the Kruger but be ready for temperatures to change quite suddenly. Extra tip… Even if the days are warm

  • Pedal Pushers: the Bicycle Industry Has Variety to Offer All Types of Cyclists by E.T
    Pedal pushers: The bicycle industry has variety to offer all types of cyclists By E.T. Robbins / News Correspondent Thursday, July 10, 2003 Aaron "Sonny" Harris, owner of Harris Cyclery in West Newton, says it's a wonderful time to buy bikes. "What may have cost you $600 to $700 four to five years ago, you can now get for $300. I liken it to computers. You can get more for your money now." According to the National Sporting Goods Association, the number of people age 7 and up who participated in bicycling at least once in 2002 was 41.4 million. That's up 6.1 percent from 2001. Of course, the first rainy weeks of summer may dampen these statistics for 2003. But Harris doesn't allow weekend washouts to get him or his customers down. Harris has the lowdown on what's new and cool in bikes this season. Wanting to educate those who've been away from biking, or who want to invest in new bikes, Harris explains that there are now four categories of bikes to choose from: hybrid, comfort, mountain and road. A hybrid is a cross between a mountain and road bike and the comfort category is a spinoff of the hybrid with wider tires so it absorbs the shock of bumps and potholes better. Mountain and road bikes, as their names imply, are specifically designed for riding on mountain trails and roadways, respectively. Harris says, "Basically with these bikes, you can go wherever you want." And of course, there are subcategories to meet the needs and branding desires of manufacturers.

  • SCS Dress Code
    Shelby County Board of Education 6021 Issued Date: 08/26/10 Revised: 05/28/13 Effective: 07/01/13 Revised: 07/15/14 STUDENT DRESS CODE I. PURPOSE To outline the requirements for student dress for Shelby County Schools. II. SCOPE This policy applies to all schools and students in Shelby County Schools. III. DEFINITIONS Standardized Dress/Uniforms – Clothing of the same specified colors and styles. IV. POLICY STATEMENT The standards for Shelby County Schools dress reflect “common sense” and a concern for each child's comfort, safety, cleanliness, and sense of modesty. There is a strong relationship between neat, appropriate attire and a positive learning environment. Apparel or appearance which tends to draw attention to an individual rather than to a learning situation must be avoided. To that end, Shelby County Schools establishes a basic dress code to ensure appropriate and modest dress. School-based Dress Code Schools wishing to change their method of dress by adopting or discontinuing standardized dress/uniforms may do so in accordance with the process outlined in the administrative rules and regulations accompanying this policy. To change its method of dress a school must request and receive approval from the Superintendent (or designee) in accordance with the process outlined in the administrative rules and regulations accompanying this policy. Any approved changes to a school’s method of dress become effective for the following school year and shall remain in effect for a minimum of four (4) school years. Page 1 of 11 At its discretion, the District may at any time implement standardized dress/uniforms at a school based on safety concerns (e.g., gang activity) or other justifiable reasons.
