Best light for wildlife
Plan morning and late-afternoon safaris — animals are most active near dawn and dusk, so have cameras ready and charge batteries the night before.
Hydration and heat
Carry a 1–2 liter refillable water bottle per person; temperatures can climb quickly in the dry season.
Dust management
Bring a lightweight bandana or buff and sunglasses — safari tracks are dusty and a dust seal for your camera helps protect gear.
Respect local customs
When visiting villages, ask before photographing people and remove hats inside the Larabanga mosque as a sign of respect.
Lightweight long-sleeve shirt
Protects from sun and insects during early morning and evening safaris.
