Are you allowed to wear camo in Zim? I prefer to wear military BDU's and maybe a jacket. What is the law, and your thoughts on this. Thanks

No Camo, ESPECIALLY military types.

According to this web site
http://www.safariconsultants.com/zornnewhunts.htm

under clothing and equipment, no camo in Zimbabwe.

its not necessary so its kinda a moot point, unless you like camo. All I wear is a pair of Tommy Bahama Shorts, old tee shirt, BB cap, and Chuck Taylor All-Star shoes no socks. anything more is too much. Less is better.

greens and med brown clothes are the best, nothing dark. Light tans tend to stand out, better off with the meds.

No camo, really isn't needed

As previously stated..no camo. However I've seen my share of camo clothing worn by everyone including the PH's, even Zimbabwe. I do think I'd stay away from camo but a single piece of real tree type camo probably won't be challenged. I would especially avoid all types of military camo.

The actual law says- no rhodesian army or ZNA camo. The draft update says no Rhodesian army, ZNA camo or that worn by any of our neigboring military forces.

Practically. Desert paterns are on sale in the flea markets and nobody minds. Stay away from any patterns heavy on green. American standard jungle pattern is too similar to regular brit army stuff and to be mistaken for brit army is to invite a world of trouble.

Personally, I would say - a cameb bak or duffle bag in camo - fine. your cloathing. not at the moment. If you feel you need camo (most bowhunters do) by a "real tree" type design that looks nothing like any army issue camo.

If you have your heart set on a classic american military cammo pattern and have an extra five dollars in your pocket (or a bottle of coke, or a cracker, or a 1/4 liter of gas, or a 7.62x39 bullet), I wouldn't worry about it.

Eric, is that less is better a Vagas thang?

Having just returned from Zimbabwe in June, I can tell you that at least American green and desert camo is legal. I choose not to wear it but I brought my ph a few "oufits" in both desert and woodland camo and he wears them with no problem. jorge

camouflage just doesn't seem right for a safari, or is that just me.

Fine rifles, sundowners, cigars, and Mossy Oak?

bwanacj: My thoughts exactly jorge

Camouflage on Safari, most certainly not !

Almost as bad as "blue fri ya balls denim Jeans" on safari.
