Not-so-stinky Sunscreen

[Philip Glass]

Wow, how did 18 months go by so fast?
Seems it was ages ago when I booked my first safari for my son and I, and now, 18 August is knocking on the door. As Willie sang: "Funny How Time Slips Away."
Anywho, sure have learned an awful lot on this forum, feel we're pretty well prepared for the trip, much kudos to all those who post in detail.
Knowing scent is/can be a real killer on stalking the PG that we will be after, is there any specific brand of sunscreen that doesn't leave you smelling like a fresh cut coconut or some tropical Hawaiian flower?
I'm a fair-skinned Finn, and the sun is not my friend.
Got Permethrin and Picaridin for the bugs, and a wide-brimmed hat, but, unsure on what to use for sun protection?
As usual, your suggestions and first-hand knowledge will be much appreciated!

Avon Skin So Soft with bug guard is THE best all around product for these hunts. Insect repellent that even works on tse tse flies plus sunscreen. I'm wheels up for Zim at the end of the Month and I'll have a bottle or two packed,

The Avon bug guard seemed to do the trick 30 spf and bug repellent

I get my Avon sunscreen/bug repellent from Amazon.

Nivea, but unfortunately, it’s not available in the USA. Slight smell.

A little pricey… but worth it…

Same one I use. Works real good last two trips. There were alot of ticks my last two trips. I have had TBF 1 one time. Don’t want it again!

Have any of you guys used both Avon Skin so soft and Bullfrog. If chosing now which would you go for and why? Thanks

I’ve used both, I prefer Bullfrog with the bug dope in it.after it dries there is no odor and when sweating it doesn’t burn my eyes. I found the Avon to be a little greasy.
For some reason the tetse flies didn’t really care for me but they would drive my PH crazy. I would always spray my pants with a good deet spray for ticks.

A nice elephant dung sent sun screen would be nice.

Bullfrog quick gel

Amazon.com

And some of the bullfrog products are insect repellent as well. Very good. I go with the Avon Skin So Soft Bug Guard myself.

If wearing sunscreen, which I suck at doing and need to get better, but I like SunBum and the mild coconut scent, better than smelling just like bug dope and sweat. I don’t ever worry about smell since even your breath is enough to send game running if the wind is wrong. Coconut and a good cigar might help if anything.
