Safariland Holtz in Windhoek, Namibia

Introduction

Safariland Holtz has been in operation in Namibia since 1934. The business stocks the largest selection of Safari clothing in the country and specializes in large sizes.

Having outlets in Windhoek and Swakopmund, they can gear you from head to toe. Dress the part - It looks great in pictures and is highly functional.

Olive green, tan, khaki and light brown colors act as camouflage in most landscapes and as such are less likely to attract attention from the animals, increasing the chances of close encounters with wildlife. This advice is even more important for walking excursions, offered at many better lodges, when you’re out of the vehicle and observing the flora and fauna on foot.

There’s another reason to leave dark colors, such as blue, purple, black and your jeans at home: they attract insects, and mosquito borne diseases including malaria is among the most serious health risks you will encounter on your safari through certain parts of Namibia.

In addition to color, pay attention to the weight and comfort of the clothes, as well as sleeve and pant leg length; wicking fabrics are a good choice - they keep you comfortable in hot (or cold) weather. Long sleeve shirts and pants will provide more sun and bug protection than short sleeves and shorts or skirts.
