Ranger uniforms

Ranger Yaya looking proud in his new uniform.

G4G aims to order at least 25 sets of uniform this year, so if you're thinking of having a fund raising activity, £110 is not a bad target to set yourself!

A uniform is extremely important to bind men together as a team and to ensure they are recognised as National Park rangers. Currently, rangers sometimes use some or all of their own clothes on duty.

A good quality, reasonably priced uniform has been sourced in Nairobi, Kenya. This is where all the uniforms will be bought from. A set of agreed, standard uniform is set out below, along with the cost.
