      Top Features: Women's Safari Pants

      • Technical Fabric: Technical fabric like BUGTech+ is lightweight and features a range of benefits over other materials.
      • Insect protection: In insect repellent safari pants, women have an extra layer of defense when it comes to bugs. Bug-free adventures are always better! 
      • Sun protection: The best way to protect yourself from the sun is to cover up. In warm climates, this needs to be done in the lightest possible clothing. BUGTech+ has independently tested built-in UPF50+ sun protection to keep you cool, comfortable, and protected.
      • Moisture wicking and quick drying: Moisture wicking refers to a fabric's ability to draw moisture away from the skin and dry quickly. This plays a role in temperature regulation and helps to keep you comfortable if you walk through dewy long grass, for example. For packing light, quick drying fabrics help you to wash and wear, so you can circulate garments for light packing.
      • Versatile designs: Convertible women's safari pants are our top recommendation because they give you shorts and pants in one. In the case of the Pioneer BUGTech Women's Anti-Insect Safari Pants, there is also the option to roll them into three-quarters for an extra style option. 
      • A little bit of stretch: From sitting on the back of game viewers to walking safaris, a little bit of stretch goes a long way when it comes to comfort across different safari activities. 
      • Pockets: Women's safari pants in a cargo pant design give you the benefit of lots of pockets. This is handy for carrying smaller items with you on activities and as you travel.

      Women's Safari Pants FAQs

      What is the best material for safari pants?

      Safari pants for women are ideally made from technical fabrics that are suitable for hot and rugged African travel conditions. Lightweight, quick drying, wicking, insect repellent, and sun protective fabrics are the best choice for African safari travel, with wearable benefits for safari activities.

      Are convertible or zip-off safari pants worth it?

      Strict luggage restrictions make your choice of clothing important when packing for a safari. Women's convertible safari pants give you the option of longs and shorts in a single garment - and the flexibility to change between the two while you are out and about.

      Do I need insect repellent safari pants?

      It is recommended. Powered by Insect Shield, our BUGTech+ women's insect repellent safari pants are treated with a proprietary, EPA-registered finish. The construction of the fabric of these safari pants also assists with insect repellency, which is difficult for mosquitoes to penetrate. Always back up insect repellent clothing with a reliable bug spray throughout the day - especially in malaria areas.

      What color safari pants should I choose?

      Opt for women's safari pants in earthy, neutral tones that help you to blend into the environment. This includes khaki, brown, tan, and olive green.

      What safari pants should I avoid?

      The best women's safari pants are practical, with a comfortable, relaxed fit for sitting on long game drives or out and about on walking safaris. While you are free to wear whatever you want on safari, we recommend staying away from denim and uncomfortable styles that are impractical for the bush. Also, white, black, navy, and brightly-colored trousers are not the best choice, as they stand out and, in the case of dark colors, attract insects and tsetse flies.

      How many pairs of safari trousers should I pack?

      Aim to pack 2-3 pairs of women's safari trousers for a 1-2 week trip. Operate on a cycle of one pair to wash, one pair to wear, and one clean pair on standby. By choosing quick-drying fabric like BUGTech+, you'll be able to wash and wear every day.

      Are there safari pants specifically designed for women's bodies?

      Yes. At Safari Store, we have specially designed our women's clothing range with women's bodies in mind - and wearer tested every garment in Africa to make sure it meets our standards (and yours). Features like the slight stretch to BUGTech +, the elasticated waistband and drawstring, and the overall fit of the trousers balances practicality and comfort for women.
