I’m leaving in 4 days to go to South Africa for a safari but will be staying in Jo’burg for 2 days beforehand. How can I pack smart clothing for a safari but not be a dead giveaway while touring other parts of the country? I’m bringing a carry-on size suitcase, as I am not camping. We are also going to Botswana and Zambia for part of the safari as well. Also, what does everyone recommend for evening wear? Can I wear black or dark clothing at night? Thanks!!
Hi Cashew, I should’ve mentioned I HAVE clothing, but not sure what exactly to bring… hence, i have beige/tan clothing but not sure how much to bring or how NOT to stand out being a tourist.

I am an American who has been living in South Africa for 8 years, 2 of them in Joburg. I have also been on numerous game dri ves.

The summer weather in Gauteng (Joburg area) is like the American MidWest: sunny and warm most days, but a lightning and thunder storm with rain most afternoons. Until the rain comes, it can be very humid. You don’t say where you are from (which can affect how you handle the weather here), so I would say to bring a fold-up umbrella for the afternoon rains, a light jacket or sweater (called a "jersey" here) or a shawl for the cooler temps.

For the safari, you will need neutrals like khaki, tan, dark green. Long pants are a good idea, even if you will be in a vehicle, as the areas where they have safaris tend to be very hot and dry and the sun beating down on your bare legs (or though dark fabric) will be pretty uncomfortable after a while. Bring a hat, preferably something that will shade your face and the back of your neck and bring a very high PF sunscreen (I use 40+ but I am very fair). The South African sun is more intense than anything you have EVER experienced in the US (and I lived in Arizona for 3 years, so I know what I am talking about!). Also, if you are going near water sources, like rivers, lakes, etc., don’t forget mosquito repellant–the mossies here are fierce!! You might also want to bring some of those 100% cotton bandana hankies (in neutral colours) to use as sweatbands and neckerchiefs–expect to sweat here unless you come from a very hot environment.

As far as clothing is concerned, South Africa is a VERY casual place. Shorts on men–even on old whitehaired grandpas– (knee-length) are much more common here than in the US. Everybody wears jeans all year round. T-shirts are popular as well, "Smart casual" is the dress code for evening wear–that means you can wear a peasant skirt, Tshirt, dressy sandals, a pretty sash at the waist and some standout-jewellery (like turquoise neckace and earrings) and be in the first flush of fashion. To keep your packing to a minimum, I would recommend bringing things you can wear with your neutrals-things that coordinate with them and then some contrasting accessories, like a persimmon or deep aqua scarf to wear with a tan skirt and top.

South Africa is fashion forward, but casual–Google "Sandton City" and check the various shops in the mall for an idea as to what we wear here (wear what we do and you won’t look like a tourist). Be aware that we have Ed Hardy, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Armani–we also have Mr. Price and Ackermans (think Kmart, WalMart fashions).

I have been here 8 years (from NorCalif) and I love it here. Welcome to South Africa!!

PS–the shopping here is fab: I saw cotton blend ladies Tshirts today 2 for R50–that’s about $3.50 each!

Caribbean and african blacks have a stronger connection and knowledge of the ancestral roots
than american blacks
because of slavery and repressed education
remember it was once illegal for black american slaves to read
gaining equal human rights took priority over passing down history
black americans were disconnected from their african roots many generations ago
so they created their own separate identity

Girls until the age of 10 got left out. Only germans where allowed/forced ( since ’36 ) to join. All others, even those who weren’t accepted as german ( german jews weren’t accepted as german ), weren’t forced to join, but got interned and lots of them got murdered.

Have you visited the continent or wish to visit?

Are Africans open to friendships with African Americans?

I accept all African-Americans! My country(Niger) welcomes all African-Americans.So if you want to come Dejele,you are welcome to visit.

But I guess the most that Afrcan-Americans can try to do is maybe have African penpals.etc.

I am not saying all African Americans do because I have met some that don’t and I don’t I am half African American but I have always noticed that. No to offend anyone but some of there names sound like it could be another language of its own, or taken from two words and made up into one. I am just curious? I am curious to wonder what their parents were thinking? Or what were they drinking? I see it usually is a trend with the younger generation.

Key word: "African" those names derived from slaves that came to america from africa and have been passed on through generations until this day, like you said not all african americans have unfamiliar names it is purely their choice.
