Kosha gloves: Stay warm and camera-ready on chilly safari 

Trust me—numb fingers are not the aesthetic you want while holding binoculars or fumbling for your camera. The forest air cuts through fast, especially when the jeep is moving.

A good pair of gloves for jungle safari keeps your hands functional and warm.

 Waterproof Gloves for Men – Great grip, warmth, and protection from dew or unexpected drizzles.

Bonus: Look for touchscreen-friendly gloves if you’ll be snapping photos from your phone (because you will!).

6. Don’t Skip the Muffler

Ever felt a sudden gust of cold air down your neck even when you’re layered up? That’s why a muffler for winter safari is a must.

It wraps up your neck, blocks wind, and just feels… comforting. Plus, it doubles up as a style piece for post-safari photos.

Whether you go for wool, fleece, or merino—just make sure it’s soft on the skin. No one wants a scratchy neck mid-safari.
