When going on a safari holiday, the footwear you chose can have a massive impact on how the holiday goes. If you are going on a safari where you are going to be spending much of it on foot, then having adequate footwear is essential.
You need to wear something that allows your feet to breathe so they do not get too hot but that is also water proof especially if you are going to be going on a trek. The most important point is that they fit you correctly, as ill-fitting shoes can cause blisters and or damage to the soles / heels of your feet meaning that you may find it very uncomfortable to walk or even impossible to.
Prior to going on a safari holiday, invest is a good pair of walking boots. Speak to the shop assistant and explain the purpose of needing the shoes and they should be able to recommend some that are suitable and it is important to remember not to skimp on quality.
