I see a lot of pictures of guys posing with their game and most of the time the hunters look very casual. Anyone hunt in a tweed hunting jacket and take a tea break in the afternoon. You know, a proper hunting safari.

I've often wondered the same. I've wondered why guys hunt in Africa in the clothing they do? Is it a uniform that is expected?

I don't see the point dressing like Stewart Granger. Smiler

Fleece, sometimes wind proof, sometimes water proof. Warm weather hunting, military bdu pants.


My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

All the more reason to leave Buzz in Harare and hunt with Blake!

I'm sorry, was I supposed to dress for dinner?

On my last safari, heard about a client who wanted to be photographed with his lion in a suit. So he hunted in a suit and tie. Sounds a bit onerous when it's 100 degrees + F, but each to his own.

We've always stopped for tea, poorly dressed as we are.
