Summary
Choosing the right safari boots is one of the most important decisions first-time holidayers can make. Each destination in Africa presents unique challenges—Kenya and Tanzania’s dusty plains call for breathable yet warming boots, South Africa’s rugged bushveld demands strong soles and ankle support, Botswana and Zambia’s wetlands require waterproofing and quick-dry features, while Namibia’s deserts favour lightweight, sweat-resistant designs.
