It’s important to pick an outfit that not only fits the safari aesthetic but is practical too – you are likely to be heading out on safari early in the morning so you may want to put on a few layers that you can shed as the weather warms up, or even take a blanket with you so your legs don’t get cold.

Here are 8 elevated safari looks that ensure a chic and sophisticated look while you are on safari – there are a few more dressed-up outfits if you want something a little more luxe and more comfy and casual outfits that still guarantee a stunning safari aesthetic. Let’s get started!
