Get your Size Right

• How do I make sure I order the right size?

  For the best shopping experience, getting your size spot on the first time round makes good sense. To do this, please use the garment measurements on our size charts. All you need to do is measure a similar garment which you already own. Simply select a garment from your wardrobe which offers a comfortable fit, lay it flat on a table, and measure as required on the chart. Compare this measurement to the garment measurement on the size chart. We have found that this is the most effective measurement technique, with our clients usually getting their measurements right on their first attempt. See our measuring guide here.

• Why don’t you list children’s ages on the size charts for boys’ and girls’ clothing?

  While some children’s products on our site may include age as an indicator of size, very few people are the same size at the same age – and the same applies to children. This is why we prefer to use garment measurements for children’s sizing. Please follow the measure guide and size chart to get the best possible fit for your children’s safari clothing.

• Am I able to use my UK/US size when I order?

  There is no such thing as a standard UK or US size anymore as there are so many international brands now available around the world. For this reason, we ask our clients to measure their garments rather than assume their size. We have compared a number of brands to our sizes and found a significant variation between the measurements for garments listed as the same size. For example, you may be a size 8 in some stores and be size 10 in another three stores. Garment measurements are the safest way to get the correct size.

• What if I am between sizes?

  If you find you fall between sizes on our size chart after following our garment measurement guidelines, we recommend you opt for the larger size – especially if you are shopping under time constraints before your safari.

• What should I do if the size charts aren't loading?

  Try using Chrome as your browser. If the size charts still don't load, please e-mail us on service@thesafaristore.com. Let us know which size charts you require and we'll send them to you.

• Why aren't all sizes showing on the product I want to buy?

  If a product only shows limited sizes it means that it's an end-of-range item and that we are selling out. Select another product or ask our sales team to assist you in finding a similar item.
