Packing for a safari trip has to be the easiest, most laid back packing I have ever done in my life.

When taking a safari trip, whether its in Africa, India or Asia, there are a few rules to keep in mind: Do not use bright colors, long sleeves and pants are a must and no formal clothes.

I was once told that when you are packing you should use a base color, brown or black. After that you can create your wardrobe based on that. For this trip I decided to do brown and accessorize with whites, khaki and green colors.

Yes, we all know the typical safari outfits. However, I decided to put a twist with some fun pants and backpacks to make your mornings a tad more exciting.
