Clothes are your own preference. I grew up in Arizona, used to avoiding or ignoring thorns, so yes on that. I will add go with darker colors than you often think. Avoid khaki, it's too light. Think OD green, mud brown, dark gray, etc. this includes your hat. You don't want a light colored head bobbing and waving around like a flag. Boots or hunting shoes of your choice work fine. I do suggest some ankle high gaiters to keep rocks and stuff from ending up in the boots. I believe Boyt's makes them still. I used a 30-06 with 168 TTSX bullets for my first two hunts to drop everything from springbok up to kudu, zebra and gemsbok. Not enough difference between an -06 and a 308 to lose any sleep over. No issue, go with it in confidence. Practice, practice and more practice will help more than anything, particularly off of shooting sticks. Make or buy some and use them on the range.
I've never used Global Rescue for my trips to South Africa or Namibia. I don't think it's necessary, but to each their own.
