Botswana Safari- clothing help

Hi Safari Experts,
We are heading on a self driving safari in southern Africa in a few months, and I’m trying to figure out what to wear. I already bought a pair of Marmot pants, but I’m not sure where to go from here.
What brands do you recommend for a safari? Is athleisure (Vuori, Lululemon, etc.) a good choice, or should I be looking at more technical hiking/travel clothing?

Also, what do you recommend for tops? I notice almost every safari photo shows people wearing lightweight long sleeve button-up shirts. Is there a practical reason for that, or is it mostly for the classic safari look?

If you’ve been on safari, what clothing did you bring that you absolutely loved—and what did you pack that you wish you hadn’t?

I’d love recommendations for specific brands or even favorite pieces of clothing.

Do you have shoe recommendations?

She is a beauty! I received these tubers as a mistake and I feel lucky.

First bloom 🌸

I finally got my first bloom! I have been so jealous of all your post and beautiful blooms. I finally made it! I believe it’s a Dark Spirit.

Help! My Dahlia plant is starting to have this weird growth. Any thoughts on what it is?

Does this dahlia bud look stalled or am I just being impatient?

I’m looking for a second opinion on this dahlia bud.

This is my first year growing Dahlia from the tuber. This bud (it’s my only bud right now) became visible about a week ago and seemed to be growing at first, but I haven’t noticed much change over the last few days. The plant otherwise looks healthy and is actively growing.

Does this bud look normal for this stage, or does it appear to have stalled or blasted/aborted? How long does it typically take for a bud this size to start showing noticeable progress again?

I am in zone 7a.

Help! I have about 20 pots of Dahlias and they all have these really light green leaves. ChatGPT says I need iron do you all agree?
