Prepare for strong sun
Bring a wide‑brim hat, high SPF sunscreen, and UV sunglasses—shade is scarce on the pans.
Water levels change plans
Mokoro outings depend on seasonal floods—if channels are low, the operator substitutes cultural visits or game drives.
Carry binoculars
Long sightlines across pans and the delta’s channels make binoculars essential for bird and distant mammal viewing.
Respect wildlife distances
Stay inside vehicles when instructed and never approach hippos or crocodiles; guides set safe viewing limits.
Wide‑brim sun hat
Protects against intense sun on open pans and on the delta’s water.
