We’re all about gifting experiences, but sometimes it’s nice to have a little something special waiting under the tree. If you’re short on time or just need some inspiration, we’ve rounded up a list of safari-inspired gifts for men, women, and kids. Perfect for last-minute shoppers, these finds bring the spirit of adventure straight to your holiday celebrations.

Gifts for Her

• Eye mask: This soft and comfortable eye mask is perfect for long flights or lazy mornings (if you skip the morning drive!)
• Indian cotton pajamas: These soft and breathable jungle-print PJs are perfect for restful sleep on warm African nights.
• Hand balm: One thing you need on safari is a hydrating hand balm. Between long flights, dry air and plenty of time in the sun, this Aesop resurrection hand balm is a must.

Gifts for Him

• Wide-brimmed safari hat: The best part about a safari is how much time is spent out in nature, but it’s essential to have a hat to block the strong African sun. Opt for this leather hat or something a bit more functional.
• Binoculars: While many lodges and camps provide binoculars, it’s great to have a pair of your own to scan the horizon. These binoculars are light for packing and have great specs.
• Soft-sided duffel: Travel in Africa means small planes and strict luggage requirements. Investing in a good soft-sided duffel is essential. We’ve had our Patagonia duffels for years and they have survived countless safaris. Nick has the 70l and Ash has the 55l.

Gifts for the Kids

• Kid’s backpack: Kids love to have their own backpack to carry a few snacks, an activity, a special stuffy and any treasures found along the way. We think these personalized animal backpacks are so fun.
• Toy binoculars: Get into the safari spirit at home with these wooden binoculars. 
• Personalized flashlights: Getting up before sunrise for game drives and staying up to see the stars of the Southern hemisphere means that a flashlight is a must. 

Gifts for the Family

• Bird books: It’s amazing how your interest in birds grows when spending so much time in nature. Gifting a bird book of Southern or East Africa is a great way to deepen your experience.
• Natural bug spray: Bugs are a reality on safari, and these natural wipes help to keep them at bay and prevent bites. If you do have an itch, we swear by this relief balm.
• Mobile phone camera accessories: Up your mobile photography game with these great accessories.
