Black Clothing
 
My understanding is that blue colors attract the teste bugs. Is this true of black, too? I have a black fleece jacket but am wondering if I need a tan jacket. How about dark green? Thanks. Betty

For August in Kenya, black or dark green should be fine. I have not seen tse tse flies in Kenya in August.

OK, that was the wrong link...try this one. If that doesn't work maybe someone more computer literate can cut and past "clothing colors:

I'm going to be at Kwando in August. Early morning drives are going to be really cold. I have a black thick winter jacket (bubble kind)......that's what i intend using. I think it should be ok......
