I don’t think the antelope care.
Yes the pith helmet is quite frankly essential 
Most importantly comfortable worn in boots and good walking socks and a wide brimmed hat. The rest you can make up yourself. Bear in mind that every plant in the bush will have thorns, even if you can’t see them and some will even puncture car tyres so having some thickness to your trousers and shirt could be helpful. I particularly remember one plant that hurt like buggery when you brushed up against it despite not having thorns something like a really bad nettle sting! I would go with trousers rather than shorts but that’s just me ! Top half I spent most of my time in a T shirt with a fleece for early and late in the day
