I purchased these for a Safari in Tanzania.  You need a shoe with some protection, that is light and breathable.  Safari vendors also suggest that your clothing be neutral colors, nothing bright, no stark white, and generally avoid blue and black (the tsetse flies are attracted to those colors).  This has some bright yellow, but its small enough not to matter.  Post safari, I am happy to say that I use these shoes frequently on non-strenuous day hikes.  They are a great shoe when you need a little more than a sneaker but can't justify the bulk/ weight/ loss in flexibility of a hiking boot.

Thanks for taking the time to read my review, and I hope you found it helpful in making a purchase decision.
