These pants provide more stretch than most of the others on this list making them great for sitting in the back of a safari vehicle or on a bushwalk. They are made with nylon fabric with spandex material and have a quick-drying technology.

If there is one pant I throw in my bag for any trip it’s the prAna Stretch Zion. The pant is a blend of nylon and spandex that has great moisture and temperature management. They also look pretty good as everyday pants that can go anywhere in the Mud and Dark Khaki colors.

Whatever these pants lack in style they make up for in practicality. Made from a synthetic material they offer UV protection, convertible, and vented for comfort. The material is great for fighting moisture and dirt/dust when our in the bush.

Pants like these are particularly helpful if you’re gorilla trekking as the jungle is extremely humid with lots of low lying plants where protection is crucial.

REI is easily one of our favorite companies when it comes to outdoor and travel gear. They also make a large number of products that are of great value. For example, their Sahara Roll-Up Pants designed for adventure travel, or perfect safari pants.

The Sahara is definitely for a more active traveler on a trip to Africa or South America, and we love the Nylon blend with dual cargo pockets. The fit is still great as they’ve taken note of many of the manufacturers above and the general trend of more stylish pants.

You can even save weight in hot weather and avoid a belt as these pants have an adjustable waistband that can perfect their fit to your waist. Really we just love REI and they make some great clothes that they stand behind with a guarantee. In terms of weight, they’re lighter and cooler than the prAna Brion, but heavier than the Columbia Silver Ridge.

I love the Kuhl brand. They make quality products that last years and these pants are no different. Great on safari or even a day at work back home these safari pants are both comfortable and professional. These softshell pants deliver technical performance yet look great.

The polyester pants use a thick fabric that stretches and moves with your body. These pants will get you through any bushwalk in Africa and won’t rip easily. They have reinforcements at the cuff and you can wear them with a nice pair of safari boots.

5.11 specializes in tactical gear and makes some seriously great products. These pair of pants are comfortable, practical, tough, and look great. It ticks off every box for what I’m seeking in safari pants.

The fabric feels a bit stiffer than the prAna Brion above, but that lends to their durability. I loved these pants when we were in the bush on our own as they had padded knees, double stitching for strength, and plenty of pockets.

These pants were built for the modern-day adventurer so they’re more than ready for an African safari. Thick canvas and brass fittings deliver unparalleled pants in terms of style and quality.

These water repellent pants are durable and made from an oil finish Tin Cloth. The heavy canvas is sewn together using a sharp-looking double seam.

They come with a slew of well thought out features that are sure to last a lifetime. If you’re looking for a gorgeous safari wardrobe Filson has a number of outdoor clothing options for the perfect look. Just be prepared to pay for a premium product with their outdoor wear, and a gorgeous pair of safari pants.

These are a great pair of safari pants from Patagonia. Made from a blend of recycled nylon and spandex for durability, comfort, and flex. The result is pants that are lightweight and quick drying. An added bonus is the DWR finish that helps bead and repel water while offering sun protection.

I really love these pants as they offer a lot of technical features yet look formal enough to wear to dinner. They also have a zippered pocket and provide a bit more warmth than the polyester pants on this list. Really nice when you’re on a chilly morning game drive during your safari.

These safari pants combine performance and style. Made from a blended canvas fabric they’re comfortable, durable, and move with your body. AP pants gain their strength from their durable material that makes for a great work pant or tough travel pant.

As with many of the pants on here, they have a nice slim cut that blends the line between dress pants and active pants that we love to see in safari pants. They’re also an awesome pant that remains really comfortable to wear on safari.

Then you have some different features here that will surely be appreciated such as hidden reflective elements that are exposed when the cuffs are rolled and safety zip pockets to secure your valuables.

All of this makes for great safari pants. I also love that these pants use different materials as many of these pants are nylon/spandex blend.

I spend so much time traveling in these safari pants, and they’ve become one of my favorite pairs of pants ever. I now have a couple of pairs of the Vaha pants.

The prAna Vaha Pant is for Yoga and climbing, but I use them for anything these days. For safari, they’re great for a relaxed evening around camp or the lodge and can even double as pajamas.

Hemp and recycled polyester give the breathability to the pants with quick-dry, and odor-fighting qualities along with being a heck of an eco-friendly product.

We’re pretty big fans of prAna so we highly recommend checking out some of their products. The women’s pant is the Summit pant and the men’s is the Vaha pant.

There are so many great travel pants out there that it’s tough to even put these this far down the list. However, the other pants above fit specific needs while these are great all-rounders like the prAna at number one.

These are the perfect pair of pants for travel. The pants have a nice look to them with straight legs that feel at home exploring a city. A fabric blend of cotton and Sorona® is (a technical fabric) gives the pants water-resistant and durable qualities. I like that the synthetic material as it holds up well on outdoor activities and will keeps you cool in the heat.

They’re well cut and avoid the traditional trappings of safari pants being bulky and stiff. The cut is made to move with you as it features articulated knees and a crotch gusset. So that when climbing up a hill to get a better view of the city or climbing a mountain you have full mobility.

These pants provide more stretch than most of the others on this list making them great for sitting in the back of a safari vehicle or on a bushwalk. They are made with nylon fabric with spandex material and have a quick-drying technology.

Similar to the men’s Brion the Halle is a blend of nylon and spandex that has great moisture and temperature management. They also look pretty good as everyday pants that can go anywhere in the Mud and Dark Khaki colors.

They’re a functional pant that is designed as a climbing pant so they have superb flexibility. Although, they’re flexible do not mistake them for being loose and sloppy looking.

These pants are what you want if you are after a slim fitting pant that can still accompany you to work or on a hike up the mountains when you are back at home. They also happen to be some of the best travel pants.

The design of these pants is almost a carbon copy of the prAna pants above. Tasha has tried both these pants and found that the prAna Halle pant fits her better, but she also has short legs. We’d recommend trying both pants out or looking at the color options and going with your preference.

Color options are of greater variety with the Saturday Trail Pant. However, you should expect all the same features such as roll-up Capri, security pocket, and a button fly. These pants are great for traveling since they’re lightweight, look good, and versatile. Columbia clothes at a lower price point, so don’t expect the same quality you get from better brands.

This is a close first for best safari pant, but it’s stylings make it much more a hiking/technical pant. When it comes to function in the outdoors it takes top marks and when I’m on safari it’s my go-to pant. However, I find it’s too technical and outdoorsy looking to walk around more formal environments comfortably.

The pants are really lightweight but similar to a softshell pant with great water resistant and windbreaking capabilities.  With that in mind, it keeps you warm in cool weather, but the breathability of the pants keeps you cool in hot weather. With a thin yet tough material, that pack down really small they eat up minimal room in luggage and they are the lightest pants on this list.

Similar to Stretch Zion the Ferossi has five pockets with two back, front, and one side pocket. The pockets are a bit smaller, but I do appreciate the horizontal zipper. Granted it lends more to outdoors style that dings it for a travel pant. These pants are great for the more adventurous traveler or ones who spend a lot of time outside.

These are some of my all-time favorite safari pants. The first pair I literally wore them until the pants disintegrated. That doesn’t mean they’re not a great build quality I just wore the same pair every other day for two years straight – if not more!

The pants are made from organic cotton. What’s great about corduroy is the natural stretch of the textile. You can only buy these pants direct from Patagonia’s website or one of their stores. If you like corduroy you’ll love these pants, if you don’t like the feeling of corduroy then definitely give these a skip.

These rugged pants from REI have such a classic look to them they’re perfect for a stylish safari outfit. Made from a blend of cotton, polyester, and spandex they move freely, but the fabric feels thick and durable. That durability plays out in looks through the double layer reinforced knees that are great for performance and style.

They have a real retro look which I love. My only complaint is they’re a tad warm for hot weather and the pockets are little more than jeans ones. Either way, they’re a great pair of work and safari pants for women.

These pants are built for hiking, climbing, and pretty much anything adventurous. They are made out of stretchy, DWR water-resistant fabric, providing durability. On top of that, they have UPF 30 sun protection which can be necessary if you are caught out in the hot African sun for too long.

I absolutely love that these pants either roll into a 3/4 length Capri fit or zipper off to a pair of 5-inch safari shorts. A nice feature as many convertible pants often zip off and look like long men’s shorts. Similar to most of the safari pants on this list, these aren’t just good for an African safari, they’ll keep you going in the mountains or even traveling through new cities as well.

The pants are nylon and are available in the right colors. They have a mesh waistband, a snap button, and deep pockets. This makes them the perfect safari pants.

The nylon blends keep you cool while protecting your skin from the elements and bugs common on a safari. The fit of these pants allows them to avoid that ugly baggy hiking pant look.

These capris have an awesome stretch meant for rock climbing that translates into some super comfortable capris. They’re lightweight and the low waistband gives you a flattering figure.

It’s a good substitute if you’re not sure about wearing shorts as they cover your thighs, but feel light and cool. Altogether, these pants surprised me in terms of quality and comfort. Since they’re made from Nylon they also bring plenty of technical qualities to the table like durability, comfort, and water resistance. They might not be your typical safari pant, but you will look and feel good in these pants.

I literally live in loose free-flowing pants when I’m at the beach, but they are perfect for safari too.  My new favorites are made by The North Face.

Their Aphrodite pants are made out of nylon and polyester while offering 50+ UPF protection. They are perfect for a laid back safari pant as they are lightweight and weigh nothing in a carry-on bag. Don’t count them out either as they’re a nice blend of technical hiking and laid back pants.

We love the Kuhl brand. They make quality products that last years and these pants are no different. These pants are great on a safari or even a day at work back home as these travel pants are both comfortable and professional.

Thanks to a durable cotton-blend fabric with just a small hint of nylon these pants will get you through any travel and remain comfortable. They have reinforcements at the cuff and you can wear them with a nice pair of boots or roll up with sandals or sneakers. Most importantly with a slim side pocket and straight leg cut these pants look great.

The Splash pant comes in a wide range of colors and features cargo pockets for a relaxed look that doesn’t feel too outdoorsy.

Kigelia Ruaha Camp

Kigelia Camp is located along a dry river bed beneath Kigelia Africana trees. Each of the six tents is the perfect size for two people to enjoy comfortable beds and an outdoor seating area.

It’s worth noting that there is also a family tent for children above 12 to enjoy with their parents. Each tent has a flush toilet and a classic outdoor bucket shower. All in an effort to preserve water a precious resource in the park.

Staying in these tents allows guests to connect with the wild. Falling asleep to the sounds of hyenas and lions in the night is a memory never to be forgotten

Wolwedans Dune Lodge

Wolwedans Dunes Lodge features ten chalets mostly constructed out of wood instead of canvas tents. Each room opens up to the east, offering incredible views of the sunrise every morning. We slept with the canvas tents rolled up and could gaze at the stars all night. We felt at one with nature while still having an extremely comfortable sleep.

Wolwedans Dunes Lodge has a massive pool attached to the pharmacy (or the “bar”) and continues to spill into one grand lobby area. This is where Cameron and I spent most of our day – basking in the intense Namibian sun surrounded by cool water and a good book.

Ruckomechi Camp

Ruckomechi consists of 10 large spacious safari tents. Each room is stylishly decorated and has a large bedroom area. The en-suite bathroom has an amazing shower that opens up to the Zambezi via a tent flap allowing you to choose indoors or outdoors, we choose outdoors.

A unique experience at Ruckomechi is a bath on the banks of the Zambezi River, where guests can soak in a bubble bath. We, of course, had to take full advantage of this enjoyed a romantic bubble bath together while listening to the sounds of the wild.
