The Swahili word safari translates as "journey," and August is the right time to embark on one—whether it's along a local bird-watching trail or across the Serengeti Plain. Here (clockwise from right) are some of the goods to wear and take.

The Lady N Boot from HUNTER ($140; hunter-boot.com) works for both riding and walking. A SIGG reusable aluminum water bottle ($21.99; mysigg.com) and a pair of OAKLEY Breathless sunglasses ($155; oakley.com) fit easily into SANDSTORM KENYA's Shikari bag ($450; sandstormkenya.com), which is hand made in Nairobi by Kenyan tribal artisans. The BERLUTI artist's sketching satchel is made of deerskin ($2,000; berluti.com).

FILSON's first line of women's clothing includes a nylon-taffeta quilted vest ($98; filson.com), beneath which you could wear BERETTA's nylon field jacket, which features linen-accented pockets and cuffs ($1,125; beretta.com), and a silk bird-motif scarf ($300; beretta.com). When evening comes, light the way home with the Phillip Hurricane Candle Stand from DESSINFOURNIR ($1,155; dessinfournir.com).
